Parables of life and nature in South Georgia

Breathing and Walking Around is not a memoir. It titl e s of i n t e r e s t is a record of four years’ worth of observations of common people, everyday events, and the natural world made by Kathy Bradley from her home in the coastal plains of South Georgia. A lawyer by training, a storyteller by nature, she shares with precision and layer upon layer of sensory image simple tales that emerge, in the end, as parables. Beginning at Sandhill, the house she built on her family farm, Bradley Walden Going to Ground takes the reader with her as she walks miles of dirt roads with the dogs Lily Henry David Thoreau Simple Life on a Introduction by Georgia Pond and Tamar, alert to the details of rural living—the movement of the seasons, Sam Pickering Amy Blackmarr Paper | $18.00t | P421 Paper | $25.00t | P267 the nearness and unpredictability of wildlife, the sights and sounds otherwise 978-0-88146-231-9 978-0-88554-905-0 drowned out by twenty-first-century living.

But Breathing and Walking Around is a true story and, so, along with the joy there are moments of questioning and uncertainty, moments when doubt challenges faith. It is in these moments, when Bradley struggles to bring order Bartram’s Homeplace to her own life, that she most clearly articulates the universal truths that weave Living Legacy Geography The Travels and the Essays for through all our stories, ribbons of continuity and hope.

Poems from one of the most original voices in contemporary American Poetry

Going Farther into the Woods than the Woods Ttl i e s of i n t e r e s t Go opens with the poet speaking from an interior landscape in which life is going too fast and he is lonely and isolated from himself and others. Life is brutal, and the speaker finds himself constantly questioning his self-worth, yet in a surrealistic, witty fashion perhaps best described as black humor. Misfits and The Incarnational As the book moves forward, the point of view shifts to a landscape largely Marble Fauns Art of Flannery identified as a desert. Many of these poems address the horrors of war, with Religion and Romance O’Connor in Hawthorne and Christina Bieber Lake concerns such as political liberation, elections, and the plight of refugees.

In fact, the reader is often faced with impossible demands at times amounting to a form of blackmail. Throughout the book, the aloneness and isolation of the individual is the paramount theme; yet, despite the darkness of the poet’s vision, his fresh, vivid imagery, use of wit and humor, and his unique approach to style and content

A new collection of poetry highlighting human experience and response

titl e s of i n t e r e s t On the North Slope, Catharine Savage Brosman’s ninth collection of poetry, displays once more the impressive range of her artistry and her powerful poetic vision. Divided into four parts, the volume includes free verse, blank verse, and rhymed quatrains. Taken together, the poems impart the very feeling of consciousness and illuminate both its potentialities and its burdens as it relates to the world. After the introductory poem, the first part, “A Commonwealth of Place,” Georgia Breakwater features the winds, snow, light, and sunset of a Colorado winter. Following poems Cowboy Poets Poems David Fillingim, editor Catharine Savage combine elements of personal and historical experience with mountain and desert Paper | $25.00t | P407 Brosman 978-0-88146-183-1 Cloth | $30.00t | H797 scenes, which illustrate the subtle bonds between such experiences and their natural 978-0-88146-180-0 Paper | $18.00t | P391 and cultural settings. 978-0-88146-163-3 “Order Under the Sun” comprises eighteen lyrics, mostly rhymed, dealing with flowers, birds, trees, and—one of Brosman’s specialties—foodstuffs, including carrots, honey, and garlic. The tone of these lyrics, which focus on the human meaning of such natural objects, ranges from humorous to grave. “The ScriptedF ate” brings together narrative and lyric poems treating the poet’s girlhood, in addition to such topics as failure and unhappiness, dying, and friendship and love, ending with an affirmation of married happiness. Abandoned Elegies for The final part, “Themes for the Muses,” features creative artists—Rodin, Quarry the Water New and Poems Donizetti, Liszt, and Yeats, among others—and performers.

A fictional glimpse into the heart of the least-known Emerson brother

Few people know that Ralph Waldo Emerson had a mentally titl e s b y t his a u t h o r challenged brother. Now, in a deeply moving novel in letters, noted writer Philip Lee Williams imagines the last year of this brother’s sad but transcendent life as he lives with a farm family in Massachusetts. Emerson’s Brother shows how this brother, Bulkeley, deals in his own way with many of the themes Waldo did, including nature, self-reliance, and love. Writing letters to his brother and friends such as Henry David Thoreau, The Divine Comics The Campfire Boys Bulkeley Emerson aches with the need to express himself, trapped as he is in A Vaudeville Show in A Novel the prison of his own genetics.

His full-time career is with Deloitte Consulting.

The legacy of a legendary sports journalist and storyteller

Life of Dreams is the first complete biography of Fred McFerrin Russell, titl e s of i n t e r e s t one of the all-time stars in sports journalism. This biography details how the Vanderbilt man started with the Nashville Banner in the late 1920s, ascended to Sports Editor and remained with this paper loyally for sixty-nine years. He led the daily charge against the better-funded Tennessean, and it was a fierce rivalry for decades until the Banner folded in 1998. Russell’s early success led to a position with the nationally recognized Saturday Evening Post, and from 1949–1962, he was the annual voice of college The Greatest Career in Crisis Champion That Paul “Bear” Bryant football with his immensely popular “Pigskin Preview.” He built long-lasting Never Was and the 1971 The Life of W.

He was a storyteller, whether it was athletes such 978-0-88146-252-4 as Bobby Jones or Red Grange; or coaches such as Red Sanders or Paul “Bear” Bryant, one of his closest friends. Outliving almost all of his contemporaries, Russell rubbed elbows with some of the greats of the twentieth century, with men such as Sparky Anderson, George Steinbrenner, Archie Manning, Vince Dooley, and Lou Holtz. One of the unique elements of this biography is the Russell legacy and the

connection that exists between Russell’s past and the sportswriters of today Five Big Mountains Legends and the future. Two years after Grantland Rice died in 1954, Russell helped to A Regular Guy’s Georgians Who Lived Guide to Climbing Impossible Dreams organize the Grantland Rice Scholarship, a four-year sportswriting scholarship Orizaba, Elbrus, Gene Asher Kilimanjaro, awarded to an entering freshman at Vanderbilt University.

titl e s of i n t e r e s t The First Part of King Henry the Sixth is Shakespeare’s first work for the stage, his first dramatic hit, and, also, his most controversial and suspect history play, a literary genre he perfected. From the vantage of his opening act its close study affords the original introduction to all the histories and the Shakespearean stage as such, as well as to his idea of time and the world generally, that is, to the Shakespearean education. In the course of this initiation there emerges a world, a stage, and, even, “Between the Shakespeare’s a Shakespeare that may increasingly seem more than a little strange to us, House and the Philosopher King Chicken Yard” Reading The Tragedy whether as seen through the lens of the old bardic conventions or the theories The Masks of of King Lear Flannery O’Connor Guy Story Brown of recent academic revisions, but that are, at the same time, almost certainly Jolly Kay Sharp Cloth | $45.00t | H801 more intimately familiar to the original editors of the 1623 folio, and the play Cloth | $35.00t | H835 978-0-88146-185-5 978-0-88146-263-0 itself increasingly revealed as a striking tour de force debut as fresh as the poet everyone is drawn to in the first place.

Fresh insight into the works and lives of two English Romantic writers

Near its heart, English Romanticism—across many writers— titl e s of i n t e r e s t acknowledges and celebrates a community that is not just secular but that derives meaning from a religious association and, in fact, a particularly defined religion, that is, Anglican Christianity. William Wordsworth and Jane Austen, premier English Romantic poet and novelist, were baptized, confirmed, and buried (and for Wordsworth, married) in conformity with the Church of England. Of course, Wordsworth’s commitment flagged in his twenties, but with marriage and responsibility Misfits and The Spiritual Marble Fauns Journal of Henry came respectability and parishioner status. However, most twentieth-century Religion and David Thoreau Romance in Malcolm Clemens critics interpret these writers’ works outside the Christian realities with which Hawthorne and Young O’Connor their lives were much imbued, except for late Wordsworthian poems from his Cloth | $35.00t | H793 Wendy Piper 978-0-88146-158-9 purported decline into conservative politics and religion and evident poetic Cloth | $35.00t | H816 senility. 978-0-88146-217-3 Jane Austen did not live long enough to have a late decline, but critics have nonetheless overlooked her faith. It is not necessarily the surface of her writing, but Christianity is unquestionably the sea out of which her characters arise, her plots bubble up, and her themes unfold. It was her and their reality. Notwithstanding this negative or blind critical precedent, Laura Dabundo highlights what most readers are conditioned to disregard, the ways in which Wingless Chickens, Inside the Church the church saturates the writing of Wordsworth and Austen.

Exploring the oldest Sabbathkeeping Christian denomination

Ttl i e s of In t e r e s t The freedom and responsibility of choice is one of the basic tenets of Baptist beliefs. Seventh Day Baptists as a part of this Baptist heritage for over 350 years have upheld and practiced that right. The decision to follow the Bible instead of ecclesiastical authority and tradition led them to accept the seventh day of the week as the Sabbath which sets them apart from other Baptists, but as Dr. Winthrop Hudson noted, “Seventh Day Baptists are separate but not sectarian.” A Choosing People: The History of Seventh Day Baptists documents the history A Short Declaration The Baptist River of this oldest Sabbathkeeping Christian denomination within the framework of of the Mystery Essays on Many of Iniquity Tributaries of a both religious and secular history from the Reformation in Europe to modern (1611/1612) Diverse Tradition Thomas Helwys†; W.

Sometimes called “Melungeons,” the earliest nonnative “Americans” to The live in Appalachia were (perhaps) of Mediterranean extraction and of a Jewish or Muslim religious persuasion. For fear of discrimination since “persons of color” were often disenfranchised and abused—the Melungeons were reticent regarding their heritage. In fact, over time, many Melungeons themselves Melungeons “forgot” where they came from. Hence, today, Melungeons remain the “last lost tribe in America,” even to themselves. Once lost, but now forgotten no more. Wayne Winkler, series editor This series explores the origins, history, and culture of these once-forgotten N. Brent Kennedy, founding editor people.
