Brother Bill President Clinton and the Politics of Race and Class DARYL A. CARTER
Bill Clinton’s political relationship with African Americans
“This book is a fascinating analysis of race and class in the age of President Bill Clinton. It provides much-needed clarity in regards to the myth of the ‘First Black President.’ It contributes much to our understanding of the history that informs our present moment!” —CORNEL WEST
As President Barack Obama was sworn into office on January 20, 2009, the United States was abuzz with talk of the first African American presi- dent. At this historic moment, one man standing on the inaugural plat- form, seemingly a relic of the past, had actually been called the “first black president” for years. President William Jefferson Clinton had enjoyed the support of African Americans during his political career, but the man from Hope also had a complex and tenuous relationship with this faction of his polit- ical base. Clinton stood at the nexus of intense political battles between conservatives’ demands for a return to the past and African Americans’ demands for change and equality. He also struggled with class dynamics dividing the American electorate, especially African Americans. Those with financial means seized newfound opportunities to go to college, enter the professions, pursue entrepreneurial ambitions, and engage in mainstream politics, while those without financial means were essen- tially left behind. The former became key to Clinton’s political success as he skillfully negotiated the African American class structure while at the same time maintaining the support of white Americans. The results were tremendously positive for some African Americans. For others, the Clinton presidency was devastating. Brother Bill examines President Clinton’s political relationship with African Americans and illuminates the nuances of race and class at the end of the twentieth century, an era of technological, political, and social upheaval.

[explicit lyrics] Poems ANDREW GENT
Winner, 2016 Miller Williams Poetry Prize
“Andrew Gent’s [explicit lyrics] is a fascinating collection of poems that slip through their own cracks and seem to vanish before the reader’s eyes. [Gent’s] influences are a matter of guesswork, but I’d say he has learned some of his admirable tricks from Yannis Ritsos and some of the New York School. Surprises lurk on almost every page.” —BILLY COLLINS
Randall Jarrell said that when you read a poem “you are entering a for- eign country whose laws and language and life are a kind of translation of your own.” In [explicit lyrics], we are visitors to a world that is familiar, as if the poems are occurring in our town, on the streets where we live. But the laws have changed, and what is normally important is no longer relevant. What was meaningless is now everything. As the title indicates, these poems are lyrics—musings on the small decisions required by existence in the modern world. They contain the grand themes of art—life, love, and mortality—but not where you expect. The smallest and most mundane objects become the catalyst for reevaluating our roles in society and the world. This is not poetry as art. This is life as art, from a country where poetry is the only language.
ANDREW GENT was born in England, grew up in Ohio, and now lives in New Hampshire. He makes his living as a technical writer and information architect in the computer industry. His poetry has appeared in the Chicago Review, Painted Bride, New Honolulu Review, and Poetry East, among other magazines.

Cenotaph Poems BROCK JONES
Finalist, 2016 Miller Williams Poetry Prize
“It’s hard to imagine poems that better exhibit grace under the pressure of writing about war and its cruel aftereffects.” —BILLY COLLINS
Out of the contradiction, paradox, loss, and strange beauty of contem- porary warfare, Brock Jones brings us Cenotaph, a collection of poems that have as their genesis Jones’s deployments to Iraq in 2003 and 2005, when he was in the US Army. These are war poems, but also love poems and hate poems, poems about dying and living, poems about hope and hopelessness. These are poems that beautifully reflect Jones’s resignation to and rejection of the impossibility of saying anything definitive or honest about war. These are poems that strive to do what poet Bruce Weigl described as the poet’s job: to find “some kind of miraculous way that if you work hard enough to get the words right, that which you call ‘horrific and wrong’ is defeated.” Cenotaph is a poet doing the poet’s work: trying, hoping to get the words right.
BROCK JONES was born and raised in Utah. He served three tours of duty in Iraq and one in Afghanistan for the US Army. His poetry has appeared in the Iowa Review, Lunch Ticket, Ninth Letter, Sugar House Review, and other journals. He is currently pursuing a PhD in literature and creative writing at the University of Utah.

See You Soon Poems LAURA MCKEE
Finalist, 2016 Miller Williams Poetry Prize
“Delightfully unpredictable poems full of fresh turns and local surprises in which irony and smarts blend agreeably with credible feeling.” —BILLY COLLINS
The poems in See You Soon endeavor to test the limits of metaphor and language as their voices speak from the beauty and strangeness of daily experience, testing how we make sense of ourselves to ourselves and to one another. There is love in these poems, and there is failure and absurdity. The characters, in their various situations and guises, find themselves outside of time, space, and identity—at sunset, in an airport, outside a hookah lounge, as a birthday party clown, after a flood. Influenced by H.D., Donald Barthelme, Iris Murdoch, and Gertrude Stein, this work strives to form a resonance chamber for tone and logic that could sustain an intransitive experience of language. The message here is in the invitation of the title—See You Soon—a statement of the complexity of two people going in a mutual direction in time, and of camaraderie along the way.
LAURA MCKEE was born in California and grew up in Oregon and Utah. She holds an MFA from the University of Washington. In 2009, her book Uttermost Paradise Place was selected by Claudia Keelan for the Honickman First Book prize. She lives in Seattle, Washington.

When We Were Birds Poems JOE WILKINS
Finalist, 2016 Miller Williams Poetry Prize
“Joe Wilkins’s poems are located in the tradition of the sacred, but holi- ness here is found in common experience. When We Were Birds, as the title indicates, is full of imaginative novelty as well as reminders that miraculous secrets are hidden in the fabric of everyday life.” —BILLY COLLINS
In When We Were Birds, Joe Wilkins wrests his attention away from the griefs, deprivations, and high prairies of his Montana childhood and turns toward “the bean-rusted fields and gutted factories of the Midwest,” toward ordinary injustice and everyday sadness, toward the imminent birth of his son and his own confusions in taking up the mantle of fatherhood, toward faith and grace, legacy and luck. A panoply of voices are at play—the escaped convict, the late-night convenience store clerk, and the drowned child all have their say—and as this motley chorus rises and crests, we begin to understand something of what binds us and makes us human: while the world invariably breaks all our hearts, Wilkins insists that is the very “place / hope lives, in the breaking.” Within a notable range of form, concern, and voice, the poems here never fail to sing. Whether praiseful or interrogating, When We Were Birds is a book of flight, light, and song. “When we were birds,” Wilkins begins, “we veered & wheeled, we flapped & looped— / it’s true, we flew.”
JOE WILKINS is the author of the memoir The Mountain and the Fathers and the poetry collections Notes from the Journey Westward and Killing the Murnion Dogs. A Pushcart Prize winner and National Magazine Award final- ist, he lives in western Oregon and teaches writing at Linfield College.

The Improbable Life of the Arkansas Democrat An Oral History JERRY MCCONNELL
The number two paper that became number one
“A worthy addition to the literature on Arkansas’s rich newspaper history.” —ROY REED, author of Looking Back at the Arkansas Gazette
The Improbable Life of the Arkansas Democrat collects over one hundred interviews with employees of the Democrat, including editors, report- ers, feature writers, cartoonists, circulation managers, business manag- ers, salespeople, pressroom managers, typesetters, and others, from the 1930s through the early 1990s, when the Democrat took over the Arkansas Gazette after an aggressive newspaper war. This new addition to Arkansas journalism history provides vivid details about what it was like to work at the old Democrat. August Engel, who led the paper with focused devotion for forty-two years, was famous for his thrift, allowing no air conditioning in the newsroom, and paying sub-par wages. In spite of these conditions, there are tales here of dedi- cated journalism professionals endeavoring to do good work. Readers who remember the final acrimony between the two papers may be surprised to learn that for many years the Democrat and the Gazette owners operated under a tacit agreement of civility. The papers didn’t hire each other’s staff, for example, and when a fire broke out in the Gazette pressroom, Democrat management offered the use of its press. Staffers recall that when the Gazette struggled with an advertising boycott and reduced circulation during the Little Rock Central High cri- sis because of its perceived progressive editorial stance, which infuriated many Arkansans, the Democrat did less than it might have to capitalize. The eventual newspaper war saw the end of any semblance of civil- ity when the Democrat hired an aggressive and infamous managing edi- tor named John Robert Starr who began giving away classified ads, print- ing more news, and changing publication from evening to morning. Through these firsthand stories of those who lived it,The Improbable Life of the Arkansas Democrat tells the story of how the number-two paper became the unlikely number one, forever changing not only Arkansas journalism but also Arkansas history.

Philly Sports Teams, Games, and Athletes from Rocky’s Town EDITED BY RYAN A. SWANSON AND DAVID K. WIGGINS
Philadelphia’s unique and fascinating athletic past
Philadelphia sports—anchored by the Eagles, Flyers, Phillies, and 76ers— have a long, and sometimes tortured, history. Philly fans have booed more than their share and have earned a reputation as some of the most hostile in the country. They’ve been known, so the tales go, to jeer Santa Claus and cheer at the injury of an opposing player. Strangely though, much of America’s perception of Philadelphia sports has been shaped by a fictional figure: Rocky. The series of Hollywood films named after their title character has told and retold the Cinderella story of an underdog boxer rising up against long odds. One could plausibly make the argument that Rocky is Philadelphia’s most famous athlete. Beyond the major sports franchises and Rocky, lesser-known ath- letic competition in Philadelphia offers much to the interested observer. The city’s boxing culture, influence on Negro Leagues baseball, role in establishing interscholastic sport, and leadership in the rise of cricket all deserve and receive close investigation in this new collection. Philly Sports combines primary research and personal experiences—playing in the Palestra, scouting out the tombstones of the city’s best athletes, enjoying the fervor of a Philadelphia night with a local team in pursuit of a championship title. The essence of Philadelphia sport, and to a cer- tain extent the city itself, is distilled here.

Latin@s’ Presence in the Food Industry Changing How We Think about Food EDITED BY MEREDITH E. ABARCA AND CONSUELO CARR SALAS
Diverse and unexpected ways Latin@s relate to food
“A probing and comprehensive volume that will captivate scholars from a wide variety of fields.” —JULIA EHRHARDT, University of Oklahoma
“This collection provides insights into the pragmatic circumstantial or situational Latin@ food systems that operate in tandem with, but often outside the notice of, globally and locally ‘recognized’ food industries. Latin@s’ Presence in the Food Industry merits a wide readership across foodways studies and Latin@ studies alike.” —PAUL ALLATSON, author of Key Terms in Latino/a Cultural and Literary Studies
Latin@s’ Presence in the Food Industry takes the holistic culinary approach of bringing together multidisciplinary criticism to explore the diverse, and not always readily apparent, ways that Latin@s relate to food and the food industry. The networks Latin@s create, the types of identities they fashion through food, and their relationship to the US food industry are ana- lyzed to understand Latin@s as active creators of food-based commu- nities, as distinctive cultural representations, and as professionals. This vibrant new collection acknowledges issues of labor conditions, eco- nomic politics, and immigration laws—structural vulnerabilities that certainly cannot be ignored—and strives to understand more fully the active and conscious ways that Latina@s create spaces to maneuver global and local food systems.

Devouring Cultures Perspectives on Food, Power, and Identity from the Zombie Apocalypse to Downton Abbey EDITED BY CAMMIE M. SUBLETTE AND JENNIFER MARTIN
How food acts as text and subtext
“A fresh and interesting collection . . . will make a valuable contribution to the field of foodways studies.” —DAVID DAVIS, coeditor of Writing in the Kitchen: Essays on Southern Literature and Foodways
Devouring Cultures brings together contributors from a wide range of disciplines including media studies, rhetoric, gender studies, philosophy, anthropology, literary criticism, film criticism, race theory, history, and linguistics to examine the ways food signifies both culture and identity. These scholars look for answers to intriguing questions: What does our choice of dining house say about our social class? Can restaurants teach us about a culture? How does food operate in Downton Abbey? How does food consumption in zombie apocalypse films and apocalyptic lit- erature relate to contemporary food-chain crises and food nostalgia? What aspects of racial conflict, assimilation, and empowerment may be represented in restaurant culture and food choice? Restaurants, from their historical development to their modern role as surrogate kitchen, are studied as markers of gender, race, and social class, and also as forums for the exhibition of tensions or spaces where culture is learned through the language of food. Food, as it is portrayed in literature, movies, and television, is illuminated as a platform for cultural assimilation, a way for the oppressed to find agency, or even a marker for the end of a civilization. The essays in Devouring Cultures—despite having a rich mix of approaches—are united by each writer’s deep exploration of how our choices about what we eat, where we eat, and with whom we eat are linked to identity and meaning.

United States District Courts and Judges of Arkansas, 1836–1960 EDITED BY FRANCES MITCHELL ROSS
How the district court system evolved in Arkansas
The essays in United States District Courts and Judges of Arkansas, 1836– 1960—one each for a judge and his decisions—come together to form a chronological history of the Arkansas judicial system as it grew from its beginnings in a frontier state to a modern institution. The book begins with statehood and continues with Congress’s decision to expand jurisdiction of the original 1836 District Court of Arkansas to include the vast Indian Territory to the west. The territory’s formidable size and rampant lawlessness brought in an overwhelming number of cases. The situation was only somewhat mitigated in 1851, when Congress split the state into eastern and western districts, which were still served by just one judge who travelled between the two courts. A new judgeship for the Western District was created in 1871, and new seats for that court were established, but it wasn’t until 1896 that Congress finally ended all jurisdiction of Arkansas’s Western District Court over the Indian Territory. Contributors to this collection include judges, practicing attorneys, academics, and thoughtful and informed family members who reveal how the judges made decisions on issues involving election laws, taxes, civil rights, railroads, liquor and prohibition, quack medicine, gang- sters, bankruptcy, personal injury, the draft and Selective Service, school desegregation, prisons, and more. United States District Courts and Judges of Arkansas, 1836–1960 will be of value to anyone interested in Arkansas history—particularly Arkansas legal and judicial history as it relates to the local and national issues that came before these judges. This project was supported in part by the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas and the United States District Court for the Western District of Arkansas.

Back Yonder An Ozark Chronicle WAYMAN HOGUE EDITED BY BROOKS BLEVINS
First in a series of classic books about the people and places of the Ozarks
“It’s easy to fall under the spell of Back Yonder. The book is so appeal- ingly written, being no less than an open-faced celebration of growing up in rural Arkansas. But, Wayman Hogue is not simply a booster of his long-gone youth; he is a deep and penetrating observer. His delight- ful writing, joined with Brooks Blevins’s erudite, but never stuffy, intro- duction and notes, brings this formerly hard-to-find Arkansas classic to a new generation of readers, from anyone who enjoys a good tale to scholars of the time and region.” —TOM DILLARD, author of Statesmen, Scoundrels, and Eccentrics: A Gallery of Amazing Arkansans
Originally released in 1932, Wayman Hogue’s Back Yonder is a rare and entertaining memoir of life in rural Arkansas during the decades follow- ing the Civil War. Using family legends, personal memories, and events from Arkansas history, Hogue, like his contemporary Laura Ingalls Wilder, creatively weaves a narrative of a family making its way in rug- ged, impoverished, and sometimes violent places. From one-room schoolhouses to moonshiners, the details in Hogue’s story capture the essence of a particular time and place, even as the characters reflect a universal quality that endears them to the mod- ern reader. This reissue of Back Yonder, the first in the Chronicles of the Ozarks series, features an introduction by historian Brooks Blevins that explores the life of Charles Wayman Hogue, analyzes the people and events that inspired the book, and places the volume in the context of America’s discovery of the Ozarks in the years between the World Wars.
CHARLES WAYMAN HOGUE (1870–1965) grew up in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas. He attended what is now the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, taught school, later moved to Greenville, Mississippi, and Memphis, Tennessee, and was the father of well-known Arkansas writer Charlie May Simon.

“Robert Booras’ clear, open, soulful poems in The New Night of Always handle time with dream-infused immediacy and a kind of slantwise humor built from the politics of grace that is domestic and artistic life in the thick of the big city.

A Record of Our Debts Short Stories LAURA HENDRIX EZELL
Winner of the 2015 Moon City Short Fiction Prize
In her debut collection of stories, Laura Hendrix Ezell assembles a har- monious chorus of resilient female voices—many speaking from the margins of their own lives, all contemplating their complicated relation- ships with the men who influence their trajectories. Set against rural backdrops whose emptiness and isolation hint at constrictive forces rather than wide open spaces, Ezell’s stories capture their characters not only at their most vulnerable and desperate, but also at essential moments of self-discovery, of purposeful recognition of the extenuating circumstances that have shaped their respective fates. Throughout A Record of Our Debts, Ezell weaves together diverse, distinctive tales with remarkably fluid yet muscular prose that belies the desolate imagery contained within. These are striking, memorable odes to overcoming, though not always in ways that leave the characters whole. These are people who somehow manage to find themselves in the aftermath of loss, who uncover their own modest strengths while surrounded by so much weakness. This is a long, winding road of adolescents forced into prostitution by their own fathers, healers still haunted by the men they could not save, and widows who convert aban- doned churches into makeshift diners in the hopes of luring back their husbands’ spirits. In short, this is a powerful exploration of the human spirit at both its best and its worst. Ezell’s figures extend well off the page, lingering in one’s memory long after the final line. For that, readers owe Ezell a debt of gratitude.
LAURA HENDRIX EZELL’s work has appeared in Mid-America Review, McSweeney’s, and The Kenyon Review. She lives in Cookville, Tennessee.

The Mena File Barry Seal’s Ties to Drug Lords and U.S. Officials MARA LEVERITT
The strange relationship between a drug smuggler and the government
In 1986, Barry Seal—pilot, smuggler, and federal informant—was gunned down when he appeared at the time and place a federal judge had ordered him to. His assassination was blamed on members of a Colombian drug cartel intent on keeping him quiet. But questions about Seal’s relationships with drug cartels as well as high-ranking American officials have mounted since his death, inspiring conspiracy theories, books, and Hollywood thrillers. Inquiries into Seal’s activities, including some by congressional com- mittees, led nowhere. Many of the police files about him were reported lost; others were almost totally redacted. Nevertheless, hundreds of records have survived regarding this backwater of the Iran-Contra saga, pointing to government complicity in Seal’s shipments of cocaine into MOVIE/TV the United States and the powerful measures taken to obscure that TIE-IN involvement. In brisk and meticulously footnoted order, The Mena File guides readers from the airstrip in the mountains of rural Arkansas (where Seal based his operation) to Nicaraguan jungles and then to courtrooms across the American South, culminating in a pivotal meeting in the nation’s capital. Menace lurks throughout the tale and, just as darkly, in the evidence of how law-enforcement agents who labored to bring Seal to justice found themselves undermined—and ultimately betrayed—by elected and appointed officials.
MARA LEVERITT, a distinguished Arkansas journalist, is the author of three books examining controversial crimes, including The Boys on the Tracks and a bestseller, Devil’s Knot, about the case of the West Memphis Three. She lives in Little Rock.

Notable Women of Arkansas From Hattie to Hillary, 100 Names to Know NANCY HENDRICKS
Authors, aviators, athletes—all of them Arkansas women
The one hundred Arkansas women profiled in Notable Women of Arkansas have glittered in the national spotlight. They have blazed trails in athlet- ics, civil rights, literature, politics, science, show business, and the arts. They have been outlaws and outcasts. Some were born in poverty, while others came from unimaginable wealth. They have faced off against the publishing world, political foes, and the Creature from the Black Lagoon. Meet one Arkansas woman who was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize, Tony Award, and three Grammys. Learn about a female presi- dential candidate whose initials are not HRC. See beauty queens on the runway and a runaway beauty queen. Meet the trailblazing black actress who, if she had been born thirty years later, might have had a career like Halle Berry’s. They are all Arkansas women, each with their own family, child- hood, loves, losses, dreams, fears, hopes for the future, and ghosts from the past. These notable women—profiled together in one volume—have left an impressive legacy.
NANCY HENDRICKS is an award-winning author whose book Senator Hattie Caraway: An Arkansas Legacy offers a fresh look at the first woman elected to the US Senate. She is a founding member of the National Women’s History Museum in Washington, DC, and is the recipient of a Pryor Award for Arkansas Women’s History, an Arkansas Governor’s Arts Award, a National Society Daughters of the American Revolution Women in American History Award, and the White House Millennium Award.

Down and Dirty Down South Politics and the Art of Revenge ROGER GLASGOW
The true story of one man’s fight to clear his name
Returning from a vacation trip to Mexico, Little Rock attorney Roger Glasgow and his wife got the surprise of their lives when they were stopped at the border crossing. Guards ordered them out of their car and began to remove the back seat. What followed was a long nightmare of political intrigue and subterfuge that led all the way back to Arkansas and its capital city. While pursuing a race for district prosecutor in the 1970s, Glasgow had run afoul of the local political machine. The machine later decided to teach Glasgow a lesson even though he’d lost the race. Down and Dirty Down South is Glasgow’s story of how he attempted to clear his name and also track down the people who had set him up for charges of smuggling illegal drugs into the United States.
