Biographical Information
Dennis Dutton lived in San Diego and was editor of the journal Shaman's Drum between about 1986 and 1988. He then moved to El Rito, New Mexico and worked with Clear Light Publishing in Santa Fe. Dutton founded and headed up the New Mexico Chapter of PEN, an organization protecting free expression among writers. He resigned from PEN over a freedom of expression controversy concerning Judith Fein's book, Indian Time. Dutton was a vocal opponent of development at the Kumeyaay (Kamia Indians) sacred mountain Cuchama (known as Tecate Peak) on the California/Mexico border. He maintained an active correspondence with several local and national literary and anthropological writers, notably Frank Waters and Vine Deloria.
