Erik Storlie Interview

Erik Storlie came to Dinkytown in the late 1950’s to join the beat movement. He came too late but discovered the beginnings of the counterculture and its music. He went on to Berkely and studied Zen Buddhism. He came back to Minneapolis and was one of the founders of the Minnesota Zen Meditation Center and joined the faculty of Minneapolis Community College.
He is the author of Go Deep & Take Plenty of Root, which chronicles his Dinkytown odyssey.
