Just the Thing
This fullyupdated edition of James Schuyler's letters to three dozen intimates, publishedon the 100th anniversary of the writer's birth, offers unparalleled insightsinto the lives, friendships, and sensibilities that sprang from the influentialNew York School. JamesSchuyler's effervescent takes on people, nature, art, writing, and love are onjoyous display in his letters to John Ashbery, Ron Padgett, Barbara Guest, AlexKatz, Joe Brainard, Kenneth Koch, and many more. They paint an indeliblepicture of a charmingly self-deprecating gentleman with an expansive intellectand a deliciously wicked tongue. "Jimmy wrote letters for the most civilized ofreasons," a friend of his once said, "to inform and to entertain." And thatthey do, in inimitable style. Peppering his aper癟us with the occasional "toutde sweetie" and "pet noire," the PulitzerPrize-winning author of The Morning of thePoem holds forth on everything from Dante and Delacroix totravel and gardening to the delicate workings of his own poems and those ofothers. While histone ranges from the lightly graceful to the racily profane, each letter isexquisitely tuned to its recipient. Schuyler's voice changes over the years andthrough periods of elation and struggle, including stays with friends and inpsychiatric wards. Reading these letters, one becomes intimately connected tothe man and to his words, which have only grown more savory and valuable withtime.
WORKINGMAN'S BLUES Where Are The Halos?
The Catholic-school-boy son of a Cuban American cocaine wholesaler in Newark, New Jersey. Motherless. The ex-football captain, young Karate black belt who saw through the fa癟ade of the American Dream. A Generation X college grad who'd rather surf, pursue a sense of personal, spiritual and artistic freedom then commit to a 9 a.m.- to 5 p.m. reality... a fool. A fool to pursue literature. A fool to realize too late that one can neither eat nor sleep comfortably under a roof of ideals. Loading trucks.Roofing. Two-bit journalism for the Hearst organization with a side of outdoor cannabis cultivation.... cage fighting as a viable alternative?No. Once the Paris Hilton "That's hot" consciousness completely engulfed the mindset of desirable New York female forms ... once war and corruption was no longer something to fear but enjoy as entertainment on CNN ... a strategic retreat to Puerto Rico. Third-world living. Big wave surfing. A front-row seat to new madness. A clearer perspective.
3 Steps to Horror
Let it be known my intentions were good, the first two horror tales meant to build terror calluses, but step 3 isn't of that nature, nothing to prepare you for something that isn't there. Please allow me to offer for your inspection three fables of the horror kind, a graduated climb, each tale with a different theme and level of foreboding. Simple tales of simple people in banal situations but with small packets surgically installed, their contents meant to slip into your consciousness creeping on twisted limbs, or slamming into it with a sucker punch, the weight of our imaginations exacerbating its might and impact. Join me on a journey into a small cosmos of my making where we start down a familiar road, familiarity breeding content, our content contested at a crossroad somewhere down that highway where reality and the supernatural intersect. HICCUP IN THE BOX, Step 1, chilling. We start with a box, a fairly mundane object if not examined too closely. A tale where magic and a man's religious beliefs collide when he finds a thought-provoking mystical one with a problem. A hiccup. A sporadic glitch in its magical mechanism that sometimes giveth, but of greater consequence-sometimes taketh away. THE GYPSY'S CLAW, Step 2, macabre. This horror is more straightforward, in your face. Something you can picture, and it ain't pretty. Gypsy curses are the stuff of horror. Gypsies aren't doppelgangers, they exist and have history, a reality string that threads through time connecting them to us in a very credible way. It's their foot in the door to our horror and pragmatism, people not to be crossed lightly. There are repercussions when we commit negative acts on an ongoing basis, a buildup of bad mojo that generates a cosmic balance sheet of sorts. If your sheet is one-sided, things can shift to compensate, coming back on you with a vengeance. Many bad people go their whole lives without that balance coming due, skating through life and getting away with murder, so to speak. Regardless, if the time comes, it blindsides them, unable to fathom the worm turning, even when they are staring it in the face, or the claw as the case may be. THE PAINT LOCKER, Step 3, blood-curdling. We start with a box, and we end with a box, different designs, different horrors. Terror is at its best when we are blindsided by it when it sneaks up on us; the boogeyman in the closet you never see coming. How can you come to terms with something, reason it away, when it isn't even there? The height of horror without going monster. Horror, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder, except horror is in their eyes, ears, nose, throat, mouth, and mind. Fear of the unknown grants horror an opening into our psyche, a foothold to be exploited, its potency an intensity and absorption dynamism that can be driven well beyond simply scared under the right conditions, its force gauged by the duration it takes to steep down to our guts. It's a dark mass pushing down on us, a sinking feeling as it transpires that doesn't stop until we are plummeting with it and spiraling into depths of despair. Signals are cut when inputs reach a critical point, our minds unwilling to deal with it, rendering us powerless as its cold hand reaches down into our souls and grasps us by the short hairs seizing our mobility and freezing us with fear. Part and parcel, we sink blindly into a dismal morass and are folded into its malignant influence, a quagmire of inescapable, psychotic quicksand. Join me for a drive during the darkness of night down a steep, winding mountain road without a guardrail during a torrential rain, headlights showing its surface to be a rainbow of oil and gasoline while traveling on threadbare tires with worn brake pads. Somewhere down that road is that intersection we spoke of, something disturbing, frightening is going to happen, and it's going to be bad, very, very bad, or I can hope. Joe Paul

Southern Lights
In the world of literary journals and little magazines, the Carolina Quarterly is one of the oldest and most prestigious in the South.

This anthology gathers some of the best work from the last three-quarters of a century, along with an informative essay about the journal's history and impact. The volume reminds us of the ways small literary journals reflect the voices of their region and changed the literary landscape.

Thus the anthology also celebrates a form--the student-run literary journal--that has shaped the regional and national conversation and reflects the astounding accomplishment of the Carolina Quarterly over the past seventy-five years.

Stumbling Blocks and Other Unfinished Work
Stumbling Blocks expands and contextualizes the unpublished works of the late African American writer Delores Phillips. Born in Cartersville, Georgia in 1950, Delores Faye Phillips spent much of her childhood in Georgia before moving to Cleveland, Ohio. Best known for her 2004 novel The Darkest Child, which follows the Quinn family as they attempt to survive and escape racism, lynchings, and poverty in Jim Crow Georgia during the 1950s, Phillips wrote much more than that. While the novel was met with critical acclaim, little is known about Phillips herself or about her other writings. Indeed, in the 2018 reissue of The Darkest Child, Tayari Jones remarks in the introduction that when she heard Phillips had passed away in 2014, she was "weighted down with longing for the other books that she would never write." This volume, then, corrects the misconception that The Darkest Child was Phillips's only published work. Rather, it establishes her as an experienced and prolific writer who created multi-genre literature throughout her life. It paints a broader picture of Phillips, who was not just a novelist but also a poet and short story writer as well. Just as Alice Walker's recovery work on Zora Neale Hurston in the 1970s was critical to a revival and appreciation of Hurston as "a genius of the South," Stumbling Blocks illuminates and expands the legacy of an underrepresented writer who is uniquely situated at the intersections of multiple identities including race, gender, disability, and region. In addition to the sequel to The Darkest Child, this collection also includes an unfinished third novel (No Ordinary Rain), ten poems, seven short stories, contextualizing essays, and an in-depth biography of Phillips. It is also bookended by a foreword from Phillips's sister, Linda Miller, and an afterword from renowned literary scholar Trudier Harris.

Invisible Poets
Invisible Poets: Afro-Americans of the Nineteenth Century brings into view over 130 other Black men and women who published poetry in America during the century between Phillis Wheatley and Paul Laurence Dunbar. In spite of their impressive achievements, these poets' works have been out of print, their few biographies incomplete and unreliable, and criticism of their poetry rare and often biased. The author, Joan R. Sherman, was ahead of her time in seeking "to strip myth and misinformation from their lives and to offer the most accurate biographies and bibliographies obtainable after a century of neglect." In the only comprehensive and realistic appraisal of their contributions to American literature, Sherman intensively studies twenty-six representative poets of the nineteenth century, analyzing their poetry and providing the first significant profiles of their extraordinary life experiences. About three dozen other poets also receive attention. Their work, which ranges from "militant, race-proud jeremiads to sentimental nature and love lyrics," faithfully conforms to nineteenth-century poetic standards. At the same time, it reflects the changing American political and cultural scene and provides an invaluable record of over a hundred years of Black experience as articulated by sensitive and talented American writers. The Berkshire Edition includes a foreword by Jaki Shelton Green, 9th Poet Laureate of North Carolina.

On the Turtle’s Back
NJSAA Collected Primary Sources Award Winner (2023) The Lenape tribe, also known as the Delaware Nation, lived for centuries on the land that English colonists later called New Jersey. But once America gained its independence, they were forced to move further west: to Indiana, then Missouri, and finally to the territory that became Oklahoma. These reluctant migrants were not able to carry much from their ancestral homeland, but they managed to preserve the stories that had been passed down for generations. On the Turtle's Back is the first collection of Lenape folklore, originally compiled by anthropologist M. R. Harrington over a century ago but never published until now. In it, the Delaware share their cherished tales about the world's creation, epic heroes, and ordinary human foibles. It features stories told to Harrington by two Lenape couples, Julius and Minnie Fouts and Charles and Susan Elkhair, who sought to officially record their legends before their language and cultural traditions died out. More recent interviews with Lenape elders are also included, as their reflections on hearing these stories as children speak to the status of the tribe and its culture today. Together, they welcome you into their rich and wondrous imaginative world.
