Unbelievable happiness
and Final Sorrow
The Hemingway-Pfeiffer Marriage
Ruth A. Hawkins
the only biography of ernest hemingway’s second marriage
It was the glittering intellectual world of 1920s Paris expatriates in
which Pauline Pfeiffer, a writer for Vogue, met Ernest Hemingway and
his wife, Hadley, among a circle of friends that included Gertrude Stein,
F. Scott Fitzgerald, John Dos Passos, and Dorothy Parker. Pauline grew
close 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 Hemingway
and, in 1927, his second wife.
Pauline was her husband’s best editor and critic, and her wealthy
family provided moral and financial 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 happiness
met with final sorrow, as Hemingway wrote, and Pauline would be
the 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 figures.
ruth a. hawkins has been an administrator at Arkansas State University
in Jonesboro for more than thirty years and established its Arkansas
Heritage Sites program, which includes the Hemingway-Pfeiffer Museum
in Piggott. She has been recognized at the state, regional, and national
level for her work in historic preservation and heritage tourism.

Announcing the Winner of the 2012 $5,000 Miller Williams Arkansas Poetry Prize
teaching Myself to Sew
My father did the sewing in our house—
stripes on his uniform, loose buttons, kneepatches,
hems. After work or before,
he’d gather what was torn. Across
the kitchen table, I’d watch him ply
scissors and thread, a fine needle
between his thumb and thick fingers,
and I’d try to teach myself to sew—
worrying thread through a washrag, basting
uneven rows—but again and again,
my stitching pulled loose from the cloth.
Because I studied his face more closely
than his hands, I never saw how he began,
with that necessary snarl, the knot in the strand.
rousing the Machinery
Poems by Catherine MacDonald
“Word-play and world-play”: the untidy geographies of an ordinary life
“While keenly aware of the world beyond, these poems draw discerningly
on memories of family—motherhood and childhood, a
brother in prison, the loss of a child—MacDonald reminding us of the
inescapable ‘clanging together, the swinging apart, / what’s cleaved
and the whole,’ and finally that ‘Sanctuary—it arrives in disguise.
And it arrives in the wise surprise of beautifully made poems such as
these. Rousing the Machinery is remarkable.”
—Claudia emerson, author of Figure Studies: Poems
“Composed of almost equal parts narrative and song interwoven,
these impressive poems showcase a mastery of both the necessary
story-thread and the lyric leap that mystery requires—as the thread
breaks and rejoins to remake what has gone before. MacDonald’s
skill with interior slant-rhyme and subtle form (see ‘How to Leave
Home’) is superb, and is the weave that steadies and patterns what
the book’s epigraph describes as the ‘causal small decisions / almost
random, those accidents . . . ’ but of course, because this is genuine
poetry, nothing here is finally small, and the art of that is no
accident. Word-play and world-play here are at once startling and
simple; and Rousing the Machinery is a simply stunning debut.”
—Betty adcock, author of Slantwise: Poems
“There is in Catherine MacDonald’s poems a quality of observation
and narrative specificity so acute as to be almost painful. This is less
a ‘promising’ debut collection than it is the work of a writer of maturity
and accomplishment. What a rich and abiding book this is!”
—David Wojahn, author of World Tree
Catherine MacDonald lives in Richmond, Virginia, and teaches writing
at Virginia Commonwealth University. Her poems and criticism
have been published in the Crab Orchard Review, Southern Indiana
Review, Blackbird, Louisville Review, and other journals. She is also
the author of the chapbook How to Leave Home.

The University of Arkansas Press Poetry Series, Edited by Enid Shomer
the Coal Life
Poems by Adam Vines
“Mined from linguistic, literary, and historical underworlds.”
“Adam Vines’s command of the sounds of the English language is
delicious, but it never prettifies what he sees in the world. These
are poems of real life and of the physical condition of being alive
in all its joy and difficulty. A hardscrabble childhood, a self-demanding
adulthood, both emerge in poems full of fine ironies and
a mature acceptance.”
—Mary Jo Salter, author of A Phone Call to the Future:
New and Selected Poems
“Arguably the finest metaphor in The Coal Life is found in a dynamite
box: a mine rat’s nest of ‘chewed scripture and company
scrip.’ But in every poem, Adam Vines balances a tension perfect
as it is uneasy—between life’s ‘urge for change, flight, and sex’
and the more patient resolve of faith in a world beyond ‘the mutable
zodiac’ of this hard-wrought human universe. Perhaps these
poems were conceived in the ‘shadow myth of ruins,’ but they
emerge as the best poems do—‘leaning to the light.’ The Coal Life
is remarkable—and necessary.”
—Claudia emerson, author of Figure Studies: Poems
“Adam Vines’s The Coal Life is a book mined from linguistic,
literary, and historical underworlds. These poems keenly observe
and deeply ponder; they dig into the mineral dark of memory, uncovering
along the way forgotten and abandoned voices, idioms,
occupations, thwarted desires, moments of grace in misery, and
accidents of astounding beauty. An extraordinary first collection,
The Coal Life is built to last even while it rests upon ‘the shadow
myth of ruins.’”
—alan Shapiro, author of Old War: Poems
adam Vines 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.

poetry prize Finalist
reclamation
The storm defies everything.
Clouds wangle the day into early submission.
The rain never forgets,
cuts worry lines where streams ran
before blasting buried them, carries
silt and seed down to hills
now stripped into valleys.
Valleys piled into hills
settle, consume themselves inch by inch.
Pulp pines creep
to the crumbling edge of a ridge,
already top-heavy, drawn like bows
from leaning to the light.

Poems and Interviews with Nine American Poets
David Baker
important poets talking about the art today
“David Baker has brought together in this remarkable volume some of
the most probing and revelatory interviews he has conducted for our
pages—interviews that plunge quickly beyond the trivial to the deep
concerns, the personal insights, the creative sparks that can ignite in
conversation with these marvelous poets.”
—David Lynn, 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 his
subjects, but also upon the nature of art and the life of poetry itself. This
is without question a must-have volume for everyone who loves American
poetry.”
—David St. John, 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 personal
anthology and a collection of perceptive, lively interviews, he gives
readers a sense of the scope of American poetry today, with a keen eye
for its convergences as well as its dissents.”
—Marilyn hacker, 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 of
Arkansas Press, bring together discussions between one of America’s
leading poets and editors, David Baker, and nine of the most exciting
poets of our day. The poets, who represent a wide array of vocations and
aesthetic positions, open up about their writing processes, their reading
and education, their hopes for and discontents with the contemporary
scene, and much more, treating readers to a view of the range and capacity
of contemporary American poetry.
David Baker is author or editor of fourteen books of poetry and criticism.
He holds the Thomas B. Fordham Chair at Denison University, teaches
regularly in the Warren Wilson College MFA program, and is the poetry
editor of the Kenyon Review.

Collected Memories of Growing Up in Arkansas, 1890–1980
Margaret Jones Bolsterli
Like listening to stories from your grandparents
“Margaret Bolsterli’s judicious selection of the memories of dozens of
Arkansans provides fascinating glimpses into what it meant to grow up in
a poor rural state. It is a story of hard work, humor, friendship, and talking
around the dinner table. These reminiscences remind us of our own childhood
and help readers better understand that sense of community we
Arkansans continue to share.”
—Bobby roberts, director of the Central Arkansas Library
System
“Margaret Jones Bolsterli has a knack for locating interesting and knowledgeable
people to interview, and she also asks the right questions of her
informants, questions that delve deeply into the lives of Arkansans in the
last century. This is an important book, and it adds considerably to the
knowledge of our state.”
—tom Dillard, author of Statesmen, Scoundrels, and Eccentrics:
A Gallery of Amazing Arkansans
Things You Need to Hear gathers memories of Arkansans from all over the
state with widely different backgrounds. In their own words, these people
tell of the things they did growing up in the early twentieth century to get
an education, what they ate, how they managed to get by during difficult
times, 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), but
many more are not. Their vivid personal stories have been taken from
published works and from original interviews conducted by Bolsterli. All
together, these tales preserve memories of ways of life that are compelling,
entertaining, and certainly well worth remembering.
Margaret Jones Bolsterli is the author of Born in the Delta and During
Wind and Rain and the editor of Vinegar Pie and Chicken Bread and A
Remembrance of Eden. She is professor emerita of English at the
University of Arkansas.

yazoo
Integration in a Deep-Southern Town
Willie Morris
With 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 fifteen
years had passed since the Brown II mandate that schools integrate “with
all deliberate speed.” Still, after all this time, it was necessary for the U.S.
Supreme Court to order thirty Mississippi school districts—whose speed
had been anything but deliberate—to integrate immediately. One of
these districts included Yazoo City, the hometown of writer Willie Morris.
Installed 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 between
the flawed Mississippi that he loved and a wider world. “I did not want to
go back,” Morris wrote. “I finally went home because the urge to be there
during 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 ethnography,
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 social
change. As infinitely readable and nuanced as ever, Yazoo is available
again, enhanced by an informative foreword by historian Jenifer Jensen
Wallach and a warm and personal afterword on Morris’s writing life by his
widow, JoAnne Prichard Morris.
Willie Morris (1934–1999) was the editor in chief of Harper’s and the
author of many works of fiction and nonfiction, including North Toward
Home and My Dog Skip.
Jennifer Jensen Wallach is the author of Closer to the Truth than Any
Fact: Memoir, Memory, and Jim Crow, a study of how memoirs can best
be utilized as historical source material. She is also editor of Arsnick: The
Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee in Arkansas.
Joanne prichard Morris was long-time executive editor of the University
Press of Mississippi and coauthor of Barefootin’: Life Lessons from the
Road to Freedom. She was married to Willie Morris from 1990 to 1999.

Jelly roll
A Black Neighborhood in a Southern Mill Town
Charles Thomas
A classic Arkansas ethnography, reissued
Jelly Roll, a small community of African Americans living in company
housing outside the Calion Lumber Company in Calion, Arkansas, is the
subject of this ethnographic study written by Charles E. Thomas, an
anthropologist 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’s
founder. Thomas conducted extensive interviews covering three generations
among the eighty-four households forming this community, illuminating
the residents’ lives in an unusually thorough fashion.
Now back in print and enhanced with later interviews revealing
attitudes of growing restlessness over the slow movement toward racial
equality and opportunity, Jelly Roll will be a welcome reference for anyone
interested in African American studies, the South, or the history of
sawmill towns.
Charles e. thomas was a professor of anthropology at Washington University
for seventeen years. He returned to his hometown and the Calion
Lumber Company in 1975 and has run the company ever since.

Vocalises
Poems by Jenny Husk
“In the poems of Jennifer Husk the world is a membrane words bounce
against and poke into, skating on the scrim then delving below in quick
sharp digs of fragment, image, and gut-punch. This work is ‘river dialogue’
and ‘glare on the surface’ all at once, achieving experiment, a sustained
rhetoric, intimacy and political weight in one go. If Van Gogh graffitied The
Starry Night on an urban wall then broke it apart with a mallet, you might
get 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: the
same stanza holds ‘rooms of dust’ and ‘harmony,’ then enjoins us to ‘hack
the map’ and ‘tag it city-wide.’ This is a skateboard train anyone wishing to
journey the sidewalk, desert, star, and cerebellum should hop on, presto.”

Deep Down in the Delta
Folktales and Poems
Greg Alan Brownderville, with paintings by Billy Moore
In Deep Down in the Delta, a book like no other, tales and poems by award-winning
writer Greg Alan Brownderville are paired with paintings by “outsider” artist Billy
Moore to evoke the Arkansas Delta in unforgettable fashion. One of the most soulful,
most 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 the
American South, this book leads the reader into strange country where a buzzard the
size of an airplane circles over buried Confederate treasure; an indestructible rabbit
haunts a graveyard; a pool table dances across a juke joint; and a hoodoo woman
treats a girl who flies around the house like a balloon losing air. The poems are folkloristic,
the tales poetic, and the paintings downright beautiful.
greg alan Brownderville, a native of Pumpkin Bend, Arkansas, is the author of the
poetry collection Gust (Northwestern University Press, 2011). He completed an MFA
in poetry at the University of Mississippi in 2008 and currently teaches creative
writing at Lincoln University in Jefferson City, Missouri.
Billy Moore picked up a paintbrush seven years ago when his daughter, Lauren, then
four, left out her Crayola paint set. He has been painting ever since. Moore has clients
all over the world and travels throughout the Southeast to attend arts festivals.
Moore lives in Memphis, Tennessee.
Unvarnished arkansas
The Naked Truth about Nine Famous Arkansans
Steven Teske
A man squanders his family fortune until he is penniless, loses every time he runs
for public office, and yet is so admired by the people of Arkansas that the General
Assembly names a county in his honor. A renowned writer makes her home in the
basement of a museum until she is sued by some of the most prominent women of
the state regarding the use of the rooms upstairs. A brilliant inventor who nearly built
the first airplane is also vilified for his eccentricity and possible madness.
Author Steven Teske rummages through Arkansas’s colorful past to find—and
“unvarnish”—some of the state’s most controversial and fascinating figures. The nine
people featured in this collection are not the most celebrated products of Arkansas.
More than half of them were not even born in Arkansas, although all of them lived in
Arkansas and contributed to its history and culture. But each of them has achieved a
certain stature in local folklore, if not in the story of the state as a whole.
Steven teske works at the Butler Center for Arkansas Studies, where he is an archival
assistant and staff member of the Encyclopedia of Arkansas History & Culture. He
also teaches at Arkansas State University–Beebe and is the co-author, with Velma B.
Branscum Woody, of Homefront Arkansas: Arkansans Face Wartime, published by the
Butler Center in 2009.

hangin’ times in Fort Smith
A History of Executions in Judge Parker’s Court
Jerry Akins
For twenty-one years, Judge Isaac C. Parker ruled in the federal court at Fort Smith,
Arkansas, the gateway to the wild and lawless Western frontier. Parker, however,
was not the “hangin’ judge” that casual legend portrays. In most cases, the guilt or
innocence of those tried in his court really was not in question once their stories were
told. These horrible crimes would have screamed out for justice in any circumstance.
Author Jerry Akins has finally arrived at the real story about Parker and his court by
comparing newspaper accounts of the trials and executions to what has been written
and popularized in other books.
Jerry akins is a native of Kansas City, Missouri, and worked as a missile technician
for fourteen years. In 1980, he relocated to Fort Smith, Arkansas, where he began to
immerse himself in the history of the area, including the U.S. District Court for the
Western District of Arkansas and the cases of Judge Isaac C. Parker. He is a frequent
contributor to the Fort Smith Historical Society Journal.

Daring to excel
The 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 Excel
charts the history of Missouri State University through a tumultuous century of wars and peace, economic
booms and busts, and the many cultural, political, technological, and media revolutions that have
impacted the Ozarks, Missouri, and the nation as a whole. Some of the book’s subjects belong to the
university uniquely: its stories of influential teachers and alumni, its triumphs and challenges in pedagogy,
varsity sports, public entertainments, and in community relations generally.
In the research and writing of so expansive a history, Landon has relied on numerous essayistcontributors,
including Robert H. Bradley, Robert Flanders, Albert R. Gordon, John H. Keiser, Arthur
Mallory, 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 alumni
will have an abiding interest in this entertaining, informative, and handsomely illustrated publication.
But, given the university’s regional impact and the numerous national headlines it has generated over
the years, Landon’s book deserves a wider readership. No one can be considered a serious student of
the Ozarks—or, for that matter, of public education in the American Midwest—without having Daring to
Excel on his or her bookshelf.”
—George H. Jensen, author of Some of the Words Are Theirs
Donald D. Landon 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 they hadn’t gone
How World War II Affected 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 baseball
payers whose careers were affected by war. Its lists include brief biographies and lifetime stats for
replacement players who, before Pearl Harbor, would have been over-the-hill or below major-league
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 morale.
Allen 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 have
achieved 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 They
Hadn’t Gone is excellent reading for the true baseball fan.”
—Jerry Lumpe, from the foreword
tom e. allen is retired from Missouri State University, where he served for thirty-four years as vice
president of finance. 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 in his
book. He is a die-hard Cardinals fan.
Jerry Lumpe is a Missourian, U.S. Army veteran, and former baseball All-Star who played second base
for the NY Yankees (1956–1959), Kansas City Athletics (1959–1963), and Detroit Tigers (1963–1967).

night of the grizzly
Poems by Michael Burns
Edited with an Afterword by Marcus Cafagña
Night of the Grizzly, Michael Burns’s last book, was a finished manuscript at the time of his passing and reflects an
incisive poet at the height of his powers. Burns has an ear for language as satisfying as Robert Frost’s and a knack for
storytelling Robert Penn Warren would envy. His deep image poems evoke primal experiences that take us beyond
the dulling influence of this life.
Twenty-one of the thirty-six poems printed here have appeared in such distinguished venues as The Paris Review,
The Southern Review, Western Humanities Review, The Laurel Review, and Moon City Review.
Michael Burns helped found the Creative Writing Program at Missouri State University, where he taught for twentyfive
years. A graduate of the University of Arkansas Creative Writing Program, he published two chapbooks, When All
Else Failed and And As for Darkness, and two books of poetry, The Secret Names and It Will Be All Right in the Morning.
He also edited two books of critical essays. Born June 3, 1953 in Egypt, Arkansas, Burns retired to Louisville,
Kentucky, where he passed away on October 27, 2011.
Marcus Cafagña is professor of English at Missouri State University, where he teaches creative writing. He has
authored two books of poetry: The Broken World (a National Poetry Series selection) and Roman Fever. His poems
have appeared in The Harvard Review, Ploughshares, Southern Poetry Review, and Quarterly West.

Blue Sabine
A Novel
Gerald Duff
Moon City press
Blue Sabine is a story of five generations of women in the same family, told in their voices, along with those of some
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 first 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 being
a woman in the West, in Texas, and in her own way and her own time. In its flow and its setting of boundaries, the
Sabine River comes to reflect what remains and what changes in the way the Holt women see their world and themselves.
“The river forever flows, and it pulls at all it touches,” one of the characters says, “yet it never leaves, and it
never stays.”
gerald Duff 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, Kenyon
College, and Johns Hopkins University. He has published twelve books, including a memoir and collections of poetry
and short stories. Blue Sabine is his seventh novel.

Sacred Spaces
The Architecture of Fay Jones
Written and produced by Larry Foley and Dale Carpenter
DVDs
Fay Jones of Fayetteville, Arkansas, studied under the great Frank Lloyd Wright, and eventually
ascended to heights rivaling his master’s. Jones became one of the most acclaimed and significant
architects of the late twentieth century. He won the prestigious AIA Gold Medal in 1990,
awarded for a lifetime of work that included his masterpiece, Thorncrown Chapel, a “little glass
chapel” near the quaint village of Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Thorncrown was recognized in 2000
by the AIA as the fourth most significant structure of the twentieth century. Sacred Spaces is a
one-hour documentary film produced by the Emmy Award–winning documentary film team of
Larry Foley and Dale Carpenter, both professors of journalism at the University of Arkansas, the
same school where Jones worked for much of his distinguished career as an academician and
practicing architect. Emmy Award–winner Kevin Croxton composed the musical score.

the Buffalo Flows
The Story of Our First National River
Written and produced by Larry Foley, photography by Trey Marley, edited by Dale Carpenter
Folk singer Jimmy Driftwood called the Buffalo River “Arkansas’s gift to the nation—America’s
gift to the world.” It was the first national river to be designated in the United States (1972). The
Buffalo Flows is a one-hour documentary film written and produced by two-time Emmy award–
winning filmmaker Larry Foley, professor of journalism at the University of Arkansas. Academy
Award–winner Ray McKinnon narrates.
Internationally known as an outstanding canoe stream, this 135-mile river, free of dams, is so
much more, and the film captures what is protected. The story is about the bluffs and the trees,
the flowers and the birds, and the giant elk. It’s about hiking and floating and camping and fishing.
And it’s also about the people who make their homes in Buffalo River country year round,
and have for generations.
