  Biograph

Ublvbl hssd Fl SwThe Hemingway-Pfeier MarriageRuth A. Hawkins

t l b f es hmw’s scd m

It was the glittering intellectual world of 1920s Paris expatriates in

which Pauline Pfeier, a writer for Vogue, met Ernest Hemingway andhis wife, Hadley, among a circle of friends that included Gertrude Stein,F. Scott Fitzgerald, John Dos Passos, and Dorothy Parker. Pauline grewclose to Hadley but eventually forged a stronger bond with Hemingway

himself; with her stylish looks and dedication to Hemingway’s writing,Pauline became the source of “unbelievable happiness” for Hemingwayand, in 1927, his second wife.

Pauline was her husband’s best editor and critic, and her wealthy

family provided moral and nancial support, including the conversion of an old barn to a dedicated writing studio at the family home in Piggott,Arkansas. The marriage lasted thirteen years, some of Hemingway’s most

productive, and the couple had two children. But the unbelievable happi-ness met with nal sorrow, as Hemingway wrote, and Pauline would bethe second of Hemingway’s four wives.  Unbelievable Happiness and Final Sorrow paints a full picture of Pauline

and the essential role she played in Ernest Hemingway’s becoming one of America’s greatest literary gures.

ru a. hws has been an administrator at Arkansas State Universityin Jonesboro for more than thirty years and established its Arkansas

Heritage Sites program, which includes the Hemingway-Pfeier Museumin Piggott. She has been recognized at the state, regional, and national

level for her work in historic preservation and heritage tourism.

rus McPoems by Catherine MacDonald

“Wd-l d wld-l”: ud s f d l

“While keenly aware of the world beyond, these poems draw dis-cerningly on memories of family—motherhood and childhood, abrother in prison, the loss of a child—MacDonald reminding us of

inescapable ‘clanging together, the swinging apart, / what’s cleavand the whole,’ and nally that ‘Sanctuary—it arrives in disguise.And it arrives in the wise surprise of beautifully made poems such

these. Rousing the Machinery is remarkable.”—Clud ems, author of Figure Studies: Poems

“Composed of almost equal parts narrative and song interwoven,

these impressive poems showcase a mastery of both the necessastory-thread and the lyric leap that mystery requires—as the threa

breaks and rejoins to remake what has gone before. MacDonald’sskill with interior slant-rhyme and subtle form (see ‘How to Leave

Home’) is superb, and is the weave that steadies and patterns whathe book’s epigraph describes as the ‘causal small decisions / almorandom, those accidents . . . ’ but of course, because this is genu-

ine poetry, nothing here is nally small, and the art of that is noaccident. Word-play and world-play here are at once startling andsimple; and Rousing the Machinery is a simply stunning debut.”

—B adcc, author of Slantwise: Poems

“There is in Catherine MacDonald’s poems a quality of observatioand narrative specicity so acute as to be almost painful. This is lea ‘promising’ debut collection than it is the work of a writer of mat

rity and accomplishment. What a rich and abiding book this is!”—Dvd Wj, author of World Tree

C McDld lives in Richmond, Virginia, and teaches wing at Virginia Commonwealth University. Her poems and criticismhave been published in the Crab Orchard Review , Southern IndianaReview , Blackbird , Louisville Review , and other journals. She is also

the author of the chapbook How to Leave Home.

tc Mslf Sw

My father did the sewing in our house—stripes on his uniform, loose buttons, knee-patches, hems. After work or before,

he’d gather what was torn. Acrossthe kitchen table, I’d watch him plyscissors and thread, a ne needlebetween his thumb and thick ngers,and I’d try to teach myself to sew—worrying thread through a washrag, bastinguneven rows—but again and again,my stitching pulled loose from the cloth.Because I studied his face more closelythan his hands, I never saw how he began,with that necessary snarl, the knot in the strand.

t Cl LfPoems by Adam Vines

“Md fm lusc, l, d scl udwlds.”

“Adam Vines’s command of the sounds of the English language isdelicious, but it never pretties what he sees in the world. Theseare poems of real life and of the physical condition of being alive

in all its joy and diculty. A hardscrabble childhood, a self-de-manding adulthood, both emerge in poems full of ne ironies anda mature acceptance.”

—M J Sl, author of  A Phone Call to the Future:New and Selected Poems

 “Arguably the nest metaphor in The Coal Life is found in a dy-

namite box: a mine rat’s nest of ‘chewed scripture and companyscrip.’ But in every poem, Adam Vines balances a tension perfect

as it is uneasy—between life’s ‘urge for change, ight, and sex’and the more patient resolve of faith in a world beyond ‘the mu-

table zodiac’ of this hard-wrought human universe. Perhaps thesepoems were conceived in the ‘shadow myth of ruins,’ but theyemerge as the best poems do—‘leaning to the light.’ The Coal Life 

is remarkable—and necessary.”—Clud ems, author of Figure Studies: Poems

“Adam Vines’s The Coal Life is a book mined from linguistic,

literary, and historical underworlds. These poems keenly observeand deeply ponder; they dig into the mineral dark of memory, un-covering along the way forgotten and abandoned voices, idioms,occupations, thwarted desires, moments of grace in misery, and

accidents of astounding beauty. An extraordinary rst collection,The Coal Life is built to last even while it rests upon ‘the shadowmyth of ruins.’”

—al S, author of Old War: Poems

adm Vs is assistant professor of English at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and editor of the Birmingham Poetry 

Review . His poems have been published in North American Review ,The Cincinnati Review , and The Greensboro Review .

rclm

The storm dees everything.

Clouds wangle the day into early submis-sion.The rain never forgets,

cuts worry lines where streams ranbefore blasting buried them, carries

silt and seed down to hillsnow stripped into valleys.

Valleys piled into hillssettle, consume themselves inch by inch.

Pulp pines creepto the crumbling edge of a ridge,

already top-heavy, drawn like bowsfrom leaning to the light.

tl pPoems and Interviews with Nine American PoetsDavid Baker

im s l bu d

“David Baker has brought together in this remarkable volume some of

the most probing and revelatory interviews he has conducted for ourpages—interviews that plunge quickly beyond the trivial to the deepconcerns, the personal insights, the creative sparks that can ignite in

conversation with these marvelous poets.”—Dvd L, editor of the Kenyon Review 

“With his incisive and instructive questions, David Baker is able to draw

out responses that touch upon not only the lives and poetic craft of hissubjects, but also upon the nature of art and the life of poetry itself. This without question a must-have volume for everyone who loves Ameri

poetry.”—Dvd S. J, author of  Auroras: New Poems

“David Baker, a consummate poet, is also one of our most intelligent,

open-minded and readable critics. In this book, at once a personalanthology and a collection of perceptive, lively interviews, he givesreaders a sense of the scope of American poetry today, with a keen eyefor its convergences as well as its dissents.”

—Ml hc, author of Names: Poems

What is more direct and intimate than one-to-one conversation? Here

two forces in American poetry, the Kenyon Review and the University oArkansas Press, bring together discussions between one of America’sleading poets and editors, David Baker, and nine of the most excitingpoets of our day. The poets, who represent a wide array of vocations an

aesthetic positions, open up about their writing processes, their readinand education, their hopes for and discontents with the contemporaryscene, and much more, treating readers to a view of the range and capity of contemporary American poetry.

ts yu nd hCollected Memories of Growing Up in Arkansas, 1890–1980Margaret Jones Bolsterli

L ls ss fm u ds

“Margaret Bolsterli’s judicious selection of the memories of dozens of 

Arkansans provides fascinating glimpses into what it meant to grow up ina poor rural state. It is a story of hard work, humor, friendship, and talkingaround the dinner table. These reminiscences remind us of our own child-hood and help readers better understand that sense of community we

Arkansans continue to share.”—Bbb rbs, director of the Central Arkansas LibrarySystem

“Margaret Jones Bolsterli has a knack for locating interesting and knowl-edgeable people to interview, and she also asks the right questions of her

informants, questions that delve deeply into the lives of Arkansans in thelast century. This is an important book, and it adds considerably to theknowledge of our state.”

—tm Dlld, author of Statesmen, Scoundrels, and Eccentrics: A Gallery of Amazing Arkansans

Things You Need to Hear gathers memories of Arkansans from all over thestate with widely dierent backgrounds. In their own words, these people

tell of the things they did growing up in the early twentieth century to getan education, what they ate, how they managed to get by during diculttimes, how they amused themselves and earned a living, and much more.

Some of Margaret Bolsterli’s “informants,” as she calls them, are

famous (Johnny Cash, Maya Angelou, Levon Helm, Joycelyn Elders), butmany more are not. Their vivid personal stories have been taken frompublished works and from original interviews conducted by Bolsterli. Alltogether, these tales preserve memories of ways of life that are compel-

ling, entertaining, and certainly well worth remembering.

M Js Blsl is the author of Born in the Delta and During

Wind and Rain and the editor of Vinegar Pie and Chicken Bread and ARemembrance of Eden. She is professor emerita of English at theUniversity of Arkansas.

yzIntegration in a Deep-Southern Town

Willie MorrisWith a Foreword by Jennifer Jensen Wallach and an Afterword by

JoAnne Prichard Morris

A civil rights classic, available again

In 1970 Brown v. Board of Education was sixteen years old, and fteen

years had passed since the Brown II mandate that schools integrate “wall deliberate speed.” Still, after all this time, it was necessary for the USupreme Court to order thirty Mississippi school districts—whose speehad been anything but deliberate—to integrate immediately. One of 

these districts included Yazoo City, the hometown of writer Willie MorrInstalled productively on “safe, sane Manhattan Island,” Morris,

though compelled to write about this pivotal moment, was reluctant to

return to Yazoo and do no less than serve as cultural ambassador betwthe awed Mississippi that he loved and a wider world. “I did not want tgo back,” Morris wrote. “I nally went home because the urge to be theduring Yazoo’s most critical moment was too elemental to resist, and

because I would have been ashamed of myself if I had not.”The result, Yazoo, is part reportage, part memoir, part ethnogra-

phy, part social critique—and one of the richest accounts we have of a

community’s attempt to come to terms with the realities of seismic socchange. As innitely readable and nuanced as ever, Yazoo is availableagain, enhanced by an informative foreword by historian Jenifer JenseWallach and a warm and personal afterword on Morris’s writing life by

widow, JoAnne Prichard Morris.

Wll Ms (1934–1999) was the editor in chief of Harper’s and theauthor of many works of ction and nonction, including North Toward

Home and My Dog Skip.

Jf Js Wllc is the author of Closer to the Truth than Any 

Fact: Memoir, Memory, and Jim Crow , a study of how memoirs can bestbe utilized as historical source material. She is also editor of  Arsnick: ThStudent Nonviolent Coordinating Committee in Arkansas.

Ja pcd Ms was long-time executive editor of the UniversPress of Mississippi and coauthor of Barefootin’: Life Lessons from theRoad to Freedom. She was married to Willie Morris from 1990 to 1999.

AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTOR

Jll rll A Black Neighborhood in a Southern Mill TownCharles Thomas

A classic Arkansas ethnography, reissued

Jelly Roll, a small community of African Americans living in companyhousing outside the Calion Lumber Company in Calion, Arkansas, is the

subject of this ethnographic study written by Charles E. Thomas, ananthropologist whose family owned the mill.

Originally published in 1986, Jelly Roll combines Thomas’s unique

perspective as both an academician and the grandson of the sawmill’sfounder. Thomas conducted extensive interviews covering three genera-tions among the eighty-four households forming this community, illumi-nating the residents’ lives in an unusually thorough fashion.

Now back in print and enhanced with later interviews revealingattitudes of growing restlessness over the slow movement toward racial

equality and opportunity, Jelly Roll will be a welcome reference for any-one interested in African American studies, the South, or the history of 

sawmill towns.

Cls e. tms was a professor of anthropology at Washington Uni-

versity for seventeen years. He returned to his hometown and the CalionLumber Company in 1975 and has run the company ever since.

VclssPoems by Jenny Husk

“In the poems of Jennifer Husk the world is a membrane words bounceagainst and poke into, skating on the scrim then delving below in quicksharp digs of fragment, image, and gut-punch. This work is ‘river dialogu

and ‘glare on the surface’ all at once, achieving experiment, a sustainedrhetoric, intimacy and political weight in one go. If Van Gogh gratied ThStarry Night on an urban wall then broke it apart with a mallet, you mightget at something resembling the rough and precious texture of a Husk

poem. Her register is horizon-wide and she jumps its length in a blink: thesame stanza holds ‘rooms of dust’ and ‘harmony,’ then enjoins us to ‘hackthe map’ and ‘tag it city-wide.’ This is a skateboard train anyone wishing

 journey the sidewalk, desert, star, and cerebellum should hop on, presto.—a Bžčvć, author of Stars of the Night Commute

In Deep Down in the Delta, a book like no other, tales and poems by award-winningwriter Greg Alan Brownderville are paired with paintings by “outsider” artist Billy

Moore to evoke the Arkansas Delta in unforgettable fashion. One of the most soulmost mysterious regions in America comes to life in words and pictures.

Reminiscent of Jean Toomer’s Cane and Alice Rae Yelen’s Passionate Visions of t American South, this book leads the reader into strange country where a buzzard t

size of an airplane circles over buried Confederate treasure; an indestructible rabbhaunts a graveyard; a pool table dances across a juke joint; and a hoodoo womantreats a girl who ies around the house like a balloon losing air. The poems are folkloristic, the tales poetic, and the paintings downright beautiful.

in poetry at the University of Mississippi in 2008 and currently teaches creative

Bll M picked up a paintbrush seven years ago when his daughter, Lauren, th

D exclThe First 100 Years of Southwest Missouri State University 

Edited by Donald D. Landon

  More than a centennial celebration of Missouri’s second-largest public university, Daring to Excecharts the history of Missouri State University through a tumultuous century of wars and peace, eco

nomic booms and busts, and the many cultural, political, technological, and media revolutions that impacted the Ozarks, Missouri, and the nation as a whole. Some of the book’s subjects belong to the

university uniquely: its stories of inuential teachers and alumni, its triumphs and challenges in peda

gogy, varsity sports, public entertainments, and in community relations generally.

  In the research and writing of so expansive a history, Landon has relied on numerous essayist-

contributors, including Robert H. Bradley, Robert Flanders, Albert R. Gordon, John H. Keiser, ArthurMallory, Andrea Mostyn, Jon Moran, Don Payton, Mark Stillwell, Tina Stillwell, and Tom Strong.

“It’s been said that all history is local history, and Daring to Excel gives the proof. Missouri State alum

will have an abiding interest in this entertaining, informative, and handsomely illustrated publicatioBut, given the university’s regional impact and the numerous national headlines it has generated ove

the years, Landon’s book deserves a wider readership. No one can be considered a serious student o

the Ozarks—or, for that matter, of public education in the American Midwest—without having DarinExcel on his or her bookshelf.”

—George H. Jensen, author of Some of the Words Are Theirs

Dld D. Ld is professor emeritus and former head of the Sociology Department at Missouri

State University, where he served for twenty-eight years. His book publications include Country 

Lawyers: The Impact of Context on Professional Practice.

if t hd’ gHow World War II Aected Major League Baseball By Thomas E. Allen

Foreword by Jerry Lumpe

If They Hadn’t Gone is an encyclopedia of biographical and statistical information covering 472 base

ball payers whose careers were aected by war. Its lists include brief biographies and lifetime stats freplacement players who, before Pearl Harbor, would have been over-the-hill or below major-leagu

quality. But, in war or in peace, baseball was the American pastime. Writing early in 1942, President

Roosevelt urges Kenesaw M. Landis (then baseball commissioner) to “play ball!” for the sake of morAllen prints the letter in facsimile: “It would be best for the country to keep baseball going,” writes

Roosevelt, “even if the quality of the teams is lowered by the greater use of older players.”

“Since baseball is a game of statistics, . . . people have often wondered what a player would haveachieved if he had not lost playing time during his military service. This is where If They Hadn’t Gone

comes to the front. The predictions . . . are sure to invoke a lot of discussion and comment. . . . If The

Hadn’t Gone is excellent reading for the true baseball fan.”—Jerry Lumpe, from the foreword

tm e. all is retired from Missouri State University, where he served for thirty-four years as vice

president of nance. A CPA, one-time semi-pro ballplayer, and member of the Society for American

Baseball Research, Allen spent years gathering the statistics and documentary evidence recorded inbook. He is a die-hard Cardinals fan.

J Lum is a Missourian, U.S. Army veteran, and former baseball All-Star who played second ba

for the NY Yankees (1956–1959), Kansas City Athletics (1959–1963), and Detroit Tigers (1963–1967).

Blu Sb A Novel  Gerald Du 

Blue Sabine is a story of ve generations of women in the same family, told in their voices, along with those of som

men of Holt blood. It is set along the Sabine River, which divides the state of Texas from Louisiana and the Deep

South. From 1867 (when the Holts rst came to Texas) to the present, the novel chronicles the emotional lives of 

grandmothers, mothers, daughters, and nieces, all bound by kinship and history. Each comes to terms with beinga woman in the West, in Texas, and in her own way and her own time. In its ow and its setting of boundaries, the

Sabine River comes to reect what remains and what changes in the way the Holt women see their world and the

selves. “The river forever ows, and it pulls at all it touches,” one of the characters says, “yet it never leaves, and it

never stays.”

gld Du grew up in the petro-chemical area of the Gulf Coast and the pine barrens of Deep East Texas. After

leaving Texas to study at the University of Illinois, he taught literature and writing at Vanderbilt University, Kenyo

College, and Johns Hopkins University. He has published twelve books, including a memoir and collections of poe

and short stories. Blue Sabine is his seventh novel.
