REMEMBERING MILLER WILLIAMS (April 8, 1930–January 1, 2015)

C O N T E N T S

Although I’d stumbled along as a poet for almost twenty years by the time I attended a 1979 writers conference in Little Rock, my real career in poetry began that summer day on a bumpy station-wagon ride with Miller Williams and Jim Whitehead. I had just heard their dazzling talks about poetry, we were in transit to some conference event, and by the time our ten-minute chat was over, I’d decided to apply for the MFA in creative writing program at the University of Arkansas.

Miller became my advisor and teacher, then my editor and men-tor, then, after I graduated from the program, a close friend. He and his wife, Jordan, and I and my husband, Charles, spent many an hour in the Williamses’ sunroom, discussing Ciardi or Yeats or the reasons pickup trucks are displayed on Arkansas front yards. It was a profes-sional and personal relationship that was to last thirty-five years, until his death.

Miller was a marvelous poet of international renown, a genius teacher, and a dedicated writer. Once, while an MFA student, I asked Miller if he planned to attend a university play that evening. “No,” he said. “When I’m not teaching, I’m writing.” That day I learned about discipline and focus.

Miller was a workhorse, as noted in his New York Times obituary. I was present when he started the University of Arkansas Press from the MFA lounge in what is now Kimpel Hall, with a makeshift desk, a part-time secretary, and tireless zeal.

He was a gentleman—courteous, witty, with a thaw-an-igloo

smile. And he was self-deprecating. He would often say, after expound-ing on poetry or life, “Well, that was nothing you asked and more than you wanted to know.” It was, of course, never more than I wanted to know.

One of his top admonitions about writing poetry was, “Cut the fat—the bones are what last.” He also believed that poetry should appeal to “squirrel hunters as well as professors,” having somewhere in it “the smell of the possum.” He abhorred the obtuse, noting that a poem should be readable—“clear and mysterious at the same time.”

He wrote poems of great depth, irony, and heartbreak, as in “Showing Late Symptoms She First Tries to Fix Herself in the Minds of Her Children,” but he could also laugh at himself in his poems. Philip Martin in his brilliant essay-obituary of Miller in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, quotes from a Williams poem, “My Wife Reads the Paper at Breakfast on the Birthday of the Scottish Poet”: “Poet Burns to Be Honored, the headline read. / She put it down. ‘They found you out,’ she said.”

I can only imagine that Miller had in mind Jordan and his own breakfast table when he wrote the poem. Whether or no, it is my privilege to have known the man and the poet, to continue to count his beautiful and caring wife as my friend, and to have sat a few times at that table.

Mourner’s BenchA NovelS A N D E R I A FAY E

Religion, race, and family in 1960s Arkansas

“Brilliantly written, Mourner’s Bench takes the reader back to 1960s small-town Arkansas and tells a story about the public, and private, ways that black and white people worked for or resisted change. A powerful, bril-liant book.”

—VIVIENNE SCHIFFER, author of Camp Nine: A Novel

At the First Baptist Church of Maeby, Arkansas, the sins of the child belonged to the parents until the child turned thirteen. Sarah Jones was only eight years old in the summer of 1964, but with her mother Esther Mae on eight prayer lists and flipping around town with the generally mistrusted civil rights organizers, Sarah believed it was time to get bap-tized and take responsibility for her own sins. That would mean sitting on the mourner’s bench come revival, waiting for her sign, and then testifying in front of the whole church.

But first, Sarah would need to navigate the growing tensions of small-town Arkansas in the 1960s. Both smarter and more serious than her years (a “fifty-year-old mind in an eight-year-old body,” according to Esther), Sarah was torn between the traditions, religion, and work ethic of her community and the progressive civil rights and feminist politics of her mother, who had recently returned from art school in Chicago. When organizers from the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) came to town just as the revival was beginning, Sarah couldn’t help but be caught up in the turmoil. Most folks just wanted to keep the peace, and Reverend Jefferson called the SNCC orga-nizers “the evil among us.” But her mother, along with local civil rights activist Carrie Dilworth, the SNCC organizers, Daisy Bates, attorney John Walker, and indeed most of the country, seemed determined to push Maeby toward integration.

With characters as vibrant and evocative as their setting, Mourner’s Bench is the story of a young girl coming to terms with religion, racism, and feminism while also navigating the terrain of early adolescence and trying to settle into her place in her family and community.

SANDERIA FAYE is a PhD candidate at the University of Texas, Dallas. She received an MFA from Arizona State University and a BS from the University of Arkansas, Pine Bluff. She is co-founder of Kimbilio Fiction, a Community of Writers of the African Diaspora. Mourner’s Bench is her first novel.

One-of-a-kind instruments from another time

In 1979, Ed Stilley was leading a simple life as a farmer and singer of religious hymns in Hogscald Hollow, a tiny Ozark community south of Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Life was filled with hard work and making do for Ed, his wife Eliza, and their five children, who lived in many ways as if the second half of the twentieth century had never happened.

But one day Ed’s life was permanently altered. While plowing his field, he became convinced he was having a heart attack. Ed stopped his work and lay down on the ground. Staring at the sky, he saw himself as a large tortoise struggling to swim across a river. On his back were five small tortoises—his children—clinging to him for survival. And then, as he lay there in the freshly plowed dirt, Ed received a vision from God, telling him that he would be restored to health if he would agree to do one thing: make musical instruments and give them to children.

And so he did. Beginning with a few simple hand tools, Ed worked tirelessly for twenty-five years to create over two hundred instruments, each a crazy quilt of heavy, rough-sawn wood scraps joined with found objects. A rusty door hinge, a steak bone, a stack of dimes, springs, saw blades, pot lids, metal pipes, glass bottles, aerosol cans—Ed used any-thing he could to build a working guitar, fiddle, or dulcimer. On each instrument Ed inscribed “True Faith, True Light, Have Faith in God.”

True Faith, True Light: The Devotional Art of Ed Stilley documents Ed Stilley’s life and work, giving us a glimpse into a singular life of austere devotion.

Defining the DeltaMultidisciplinary Perspectives on the Lower Mississippi River DeltaE D I T E D B Y J A N E L L E C O L L I N S

Multiple ways of looking at the seven-state region bisected by the Mississippi River

Inspired by the Arkansas Review’s “What Is the Delta?” series of articles, Defining the Delta collects fifteen essays from scholars in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities to describe and define this important region.

Here are essays examining the Delta’s physical properties, boundar-ies, and climate from a geologist, archeologist, and environmental histo-rian. The Delta is also viewed through the lens of the social sciences and humanities—historians, folklorists, and others studying the connection between the land and its people, in particular the importance of agricul-ture and the culture of the area, especially music, literature, and food.

Every turn of the page reveals another way of seeing the seven-state region that is bisected by and dependent on the Mississippi River, sug-gesting ultimately that there are myriad ways of looking at, and defining, the Delta.

JANELLE M. COLLINS was general editor of Arkansas Review: A Journal of Delta Studies from 2009 to 2013. She is chair of the Department of English and Philosophy at Arkansas State University, where she teaches courses in African American and multi-ethnic American literature.

Slavery and Secession in ArkansasA Documentary HistoryE D I T E D B Y J A M E S J . G I G A N T I N O I I

Firsthand accounts of Arkansas’s secession from the Union

The absorbing documents collected in Slavery and Secession in Arkansas trace Arkansas’s tortuous road to secession and war. Drawn from con-temporary pamphlets, broadsides, legislative debates, public addresses, newspapers, and private correspondence, these accounts show the intricate twists and turns of the political drama in Arkansas between early 1859 and the summer of 1861. From an early warning of what Republican political dominance would mean for the South, through the initial rejection of secession, to Arkansas’s final abandonment of the Union, readers, even while knowing the eventual outcome, will find the journey both suspenseful and informative.

Revealing both the unique features of the secession story in Arkansas and the issues that Arkansas shared with much of the rest of the South, this collection illustrates how Arkansans debated their place in the nation and, specifically, how the defense of slavery—as both an assurance of continued economic progress and a means of social control—remained central to the decision to leave the Union and fight alongside much of the South for four bloody years of civil war.

Resisting a singular interpretation of black food culture

“Dethroning the Deceitful Pork Chop formally marks the coming of age of African American culinary studies. The work amply proves that it is a very real academic discipline with range and rigor. As one who was around at its birth, I’ve got to say after examining the essays included that the youngster looks very healthy indeed. Bravi Tutti!”—JESSICA HARRIS, author of High on the Hog: A Culinary Journey from

Africa to America

The fifteen essays collected in Dethroning the Deceitful Pork Chop utilize a wide variety of methodological perspectives to explore African American food expressions from slavery up through the present. The volume offers fresh insights into a growing field beginning to reach maturity. The con-tributors demonstrate that throughout time black people have used food practices as a means of overtly resisting white oppression—through techniques like poison, theft, deception, and magic—or more subtly as a way of asserting humanity and ingenuity, revealing both cultural con-tinuity and improvisational finesse. Collectively, the authors complicate generalizations that conflate African American food culture with south-ern-derived soul food and challenge the tenacious hold that stereotypical black cooks like Aunt Jemima and the depersonalized Mammy have on the American imagination. They survey the abundant but still under-studied archives of black food history and establish an ongoing research agenda that should animate American food culture scholarship for years to come.

Frank Merriwell and the Fiction of All-American BoyhoodThe Progressive Era Creation of the Schoolboy Sports StoryR YA N K . A N D E R S O N

A fictional character representing ideal boyhood

“Sheds new light on a crucial popular-culture phenomenon. Anderson’s book will be essential for readers interested in sport literature, cultural theory, and gender studies.”

—TIM MORRIS, author of Making the Team

Gilbert Patten, writing as Burt L. Standish, made a career of generating serialized twenty-thousand-word stories featuring his fictional creation Frank Merriwell, a student athlete at Yale University who inspired oth-ers to emulate his example of manly boyhood. Patten and his publisher, Street and Smith, initially had only a general idea about what would constitute Merriwell’s adventures and who would want to read about them when they introduced the hero in the dime novel Tip Top Weekly in 1896, but over the years what took shape was a story line that capitalized on middle-class fears about the insidious influence of modern life on the nation’s boys.

Merriwell came to symbolize the Progressive Era debate about how sport and school made boys into men. The saga featured the attractive Merriwell distinguishing between “good” and “bad” girls and focused on his squeaky-clean adventures in physical development and mentorship. By the serial’s conclusion, Merriwell had opened a school for “weak and wayward boys” that made him into a figure who taught readers how to approximate his example.

In Frank Merriwell and the Fiction of All-American Boyhood, Anderson treats Tip Top Weekly as a historical artifact, supplementing his reading of its text, illustrations, reader letters, and advertisements with his use of editorial correspondence, memoirs, trade journals, and legal docu-ments. Anderson blends social and cultural history, with the history of business, gender, and sport, along with a general examination of child-hood and youth in this fascinating study of how a fictional character was used to promote a homogeneous “normal” American boyhood rooted in an assumed pecking order of class, race, and gender.

What sports have meant to generations of Washingtonians

“Scholars Chris Elzey and David K. Wiggins demonstrate a fine eye for stories as well as an instinct for what is important. The book has some-thing for everyone.”

—RANDY ROBERTS, author of A Team for America and Rising Tide

Washington, DC, is best known for its politics and monuments, but sport has always been an integral part of the city, and Washingtonians are among the country’s most avid sports fans. DC Sports gathers seven-teen essays examining the history of sport in the nation’s capital, from turn-of-the-century venues such as the White Lot, Griffith Stadium, and DC Memorial Stadium to Howard-Lincoln Thanksgiving Day football games of the roaring twenties; from the surprising season of the 1969 Washington Senators to the success of Georgetown basketball during the 1980s. This collection covers the field, including public recreation, high-school athletics, intercollegiate athletics, professional sports, sports journalism, and sports promotion.

A southern city at heart, Washington drew a strong color line in every facet of people’s lives. Race informed how sport was played, writ-ten about, and watched in the city. In 1962, the Redskins became the final National Football League team to integrate. That same year, a race riot marred the city’s high-school championship game in football. A generation later, race as an issue resurfaced after Georgetown’s African American head coach John Thompson Jr. led the Hoyas to national prominence in basketball.

DC Sports takes a hard look at how sports in one city has shaped cul-ture and history, and how culture and history inform sports. This infor-mative and engaging collection will appeal to fans and students of sports and those interested in the rich history of the nation’s capital.

A Hurting SportAn Inside Look at Another Year in BoxingT H O M A S H A U S E R

From Pacquiao-Bradley 2 to HBO and TMZ

“No one has ever done it better.”—The Ring

A Hurting Sport marks the tenth annual volume of Thomas Hauser’s box-ing articles to be published by the University of Arkansas Press. Every year, readers, sportswriters, and critics alike look forward to these collec-tions. In 2014, Booklist observed, “This annual series detailing the year in boxing should be a highlight, not only for fans of the sport but also for those who appreciate journalistic acumen and stylish prose.”

Other sportswriters have called Hauser “the dean of fightwriters” (TheSweetScience.com) and “our craft’s most celebrated practitioner” (15Rounds.com). His readers call him one of the last real champions in boxing and one of the very best who has ever written about this sport.

A Hurting Sport continues this tradition of excellence with a behind-the-scenes recounting of 2014’s biggest fights, a look at Floyd Mayweather’s conduct in and out of the ring, analysis of fight impresa-rio Al Haymon’s burgeoning empire, and much more.

THOMAS HAUSER is the author of many books. His first work, Missing, was made into an Academy Award–winning film. He later authored Muhammad Ali: His Life and Times, the definitive biography of the most famous fighter ever. In 2004, the Boxing Writers Association of America honored Hauser with the Nat Fleischer Award for Career Excellence in Boxing Journalism.

The Rise to RespectabilityRace, Religion, and the Church of God in ChristC A LV I N W H I T E

Comprehensive history of COGIC

“An indispensable work in African American religious history . . . essential.”

—Choice

“Contributes significantly to American religious history and should be on undergraduate syllabi everywhere.”

—Journal of American History

“Provides a thoughtful, well-researched, and engaging narrative that moves COGIC from the margins to the center of African American reli-gious history.”

—Journal of Southern History

“A fine, much-needed book based on impressive original research. . . . ”—America Historical Review

The Rise to Respectability documents the history of the Church of God in Christ (COGIC) and examines its cultural and religious impact on African Americans and on the history of the South. It explores the ways in which Charles Harrison Mason, the son of slaves and founder of COGIC, embraced a Pentecostal faith that celebrated the charismatic forms of religious expression that many blacks had come to view as outdated, unsophisticated, and embarrassing.

While examining the intersection of race, religion, and class, The Rise to Respectability details how the denomination dealt with the strin-gent standard of bourgeois behavior imposed on churchgoers as they moved from southern rural areas into the urban centers in both the South and North.

Rooted in the hardships of slavery and coming of age during Jim Crow, COGIC’s story is more than a religious debate. Rather, this book sees the history of the church as interwoven with the Great Migration, class tension, racial animosity, and the struggle for modernity—all rep-resentative parts of the African American experience.

Dutch Ovens ChronicledTheir Use in the United StatesJ O H N G . R A G S D A L E

History of the development, care, and use of these essential outdoor cooking vessels

When a significant number of Americans had to prepare meals in the out of doors—colonists, pioneers moving west, cowboys working the range, or sheep herders—they needed something portable to cook their food in. Iron casters filled that need by turning out various pots, pans, and ovens to be carried to cab-ins, campfires, wagon trains, and camping trails. One such vessel was the Dutch oven, which had been in use for generations.

Dutch Ovens Chronicled offers a history of the development, care, and use of these ovens, complete with photos and recipes. This authoritative, informative, and eminently readable guide will be appreciated by outdoor enthusiasts, anti-quarians, and history buffs alike.

JOHN G. RAGSDALE graduated from the University of Arkansas in 1947 with an engineering degree. He worked as a petroleum engineer in several states and Canada before retiring in 1992. He has served for many years as a volunteer at local and national events for the Boy Scouts of America. He is the author of Camper’s Guide to Outdoor Cooking.

Stories of SurvivalArkansas Farmers during the Great DepressionW I L L I A M D O W N S J R .

How ordinary families endured natural and economic disaster

Through dozens of in-depth interviews representing all sections of the state, farm families recall their best times, their worst times, and day-to-day experi-ences such as chores, washing, bathing, clothes making, medical care, home remedies, spiritual life, courtship and marriage, and school experiences. Their stories reveal how ordinary men and women, frequently living in abject poverty, endured cataclysmic natural disasters and economic collapse with extraordinary courage, faith, resourcefulness, and a good sense of humor.

Best Little TownA Brief History of Tuckerman, ArkansasWAY N E B O Y C EF O R E W O R D B Y M O R R I S S . A R N O L D

A developmental history of a small town in Middle America

“Jackson County, where I was born, is the home of Tuckerman, Arkansas, a special place endowed with an abundance of diverse history. And my friend Wayne Boyce has done a thorough job of making this history come to life through his determination to put his research efforts and memories on paper. Aptly named Best Little Town, Boyce’s book details Tuckerman’s past and includes everything from the people who have populated the area to the physical, economic, and political events that have shaped this part of our state. Best Little Town will bring hours of discovery for people of all ages.”

—MIKE BEEBE, governor of Arkansas, 2007–2015

“This is rich history. Wayne Boyce gives us a snapshot of a small Arkansas farming town. The writing is superb and the research is meticulous. Here is everything you want to know about outdoor privies, slow-mov-ing sloughs, and horse-driven cotton gins, all nudged along into a very satisfying present.”

—ROY REED, former New York Times reporter and author of Beware of Limbo Dancers

WAYNE BOYCE was born in Tuckerman, Arkansas, in 1926. He earned a BA from the University of Arkansas and a JD from the University of Arkansas School of Law School, where he later taught and founded the legal clinic. Since retiring from the practice of law, Boyce has been pursuing two other lifelong interests: history and writing. MORRIS S. ARNOLD is a former judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Eight Circuit and the author of Rumble of a Distant Drum: The Quapaws and the Old World Newcomers, 1673–1804.

Arkansas Women and the Right to VoteThe Little Rock Campaigns: 1868–1920B E R N A D E T T E C A H I L L

Crucial work in Little Rock helped win the vote

Women from all over Arkansas—left out of the civil rights granted by the post–Civil War Reconstruction Amendments—took part in a long struggle to gain the primary civil right of American citizens: voting. The state’s capital city of Little Rock served as the focal point not only for suffrage work in Arkansas, but also for the state’s contribution to the nationwide nonviolent campaign for women’s suffrage that reached its climax between 1913 and 1920. Based on original research, Cahill’s book relates the history of some of those who contributed to this victorious struggle, reveals long-forgotten photographs, includes a map of the loca-tions of meetings and rallies, and provides a list of Arkansas suffragists who helped ensure that discrimination could no longer exclude women from participation in the political life of the state and nation.

BERNADETTE CAHILL is an independent scholar who has authored sev-eral books on travel and history, including extensive writing about women’s suffrage. Born in Scotland, Cahill holds an MA Honors in medieval and mod-ern history from the University of Glasgow.

It’s Official! The Real Stories behind Arkansas’s State SymbolsD AV I D WA R E

The state of Arkansas explained in one flag, four songs, and a handful of symbols

Since Arkansas’s creation as an independent territory in 1819, its legis-lature has officially designated a wide assortment of symbols. Some of these refer to economic mainstays while others attest to the aspirations of those who saw a bright future for their extensive and varied com-munity. This volume’s essays examine each of Arkansas’s officially des-ignated symbols, outlining their genesis, their significance at the time of their adoption, and their place in modern Arkansas. Combining political narratives, natural history, and the occasional “shaggy dog” story, Ware makes a case for considering the symbols as useful keys to understand-ing both the Arkansas that has been and the one it hopes to be.

DAVID WARE has served as historian of the Arkansas State Capitol since 2001. He is a native of the District of Columbia, grew up in Nebraska and Wyoming, and earned his PhD in American history from Arizona State University. His career has included both academic and public history, as well as busking and an extended foray in the oil exploration business. He and his wife and daughter live in Little Rock, Arkansas.

A Captive AudienceVoices of Japanese American Youth in World War II ArkansasE D I T E D B Y A L I W E L K Y

The story of Japanese internment camps

Using archival primary material such as photographs, yearbooks, art-work, and first-person written accounts, A Captive Audience gives an inside look at the experiences of young people at the Rohwer and Jerome Relocation Centers in Arkansas during the forced incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II. Many young internees at the camps saw their families lose their homes, businesses, and posses-sions on the West Coast when the U.S. government rounded up people of Japanese descent after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Yet through all the chaos and heartbreak of the internment experience, young people often brought a unique perspective of hope and resiliency.

Intended for young-adult readers, this book explores important dimensions of Arkansas and U.S. history, including human rights and what it means to be an American.

ALI WELKY holds an MA in English literature from the University of Central Arkansas and is the assistant editor of the online Encyclopedia of Arkansas History & Culture. She lives in Conway, Arkansas with her husband and two children.

Sad MathPoems by Sarah Freligh

Winner of the 2015 Moon City Poetry Prize

In Sad Math, Sarah Freligh takes us for a ride through an American girl-hood, a retrospective landscape of parking in cars and illicit kisses in a Donut Delite. Here, time is measured not only in days and years but in physical distance, a past that is understandable only when viewed through a rearview mirror. Along the way, there are not only losses, but also the accumulation of experience and the insistence of possibility.

“Sarah Freligh’s Sad Math is nothing less than a marvelous arc that cap-tures and explores what it means for all sentient beings to age and find the unreasonable sum of years. Her feminist view heightens the notion of sacred disfigurement as we realize that language can never properly add or assess our grief. These stark poems are exposures that fade and yellow until her profane Kodacolor print becomes a kind of Giotto can-vas, though a contemporary one where the man on TV ‘points to a red stain spreading across / a map and tells me it’s best to stay/ inside’.”

True Places Never AreShort Stories by Cate McGowan

Winner of the 2014 Moon City Short Fiction Prize

In her debut collection, Cate McGowan introduces us to an assortment of characters, a passenger manifest voyaging through loss and salvation. The book’s title borrows from Moby Dick: “It is not down in any map; true places never are.” And McGowan’s characters are indeed off the map; they venture into wondrous worlds as knotty and distressing as the places they aim to leave. True places are indeed hard to find, yet hope is every person’s traveling companion in this collection. In True Places Never Are, McGowan reminds us that wherever you are in the world, redemption might not be far away.

“True Places Never Are is a wonder. Cate McGowan is one of my favorite new writers.”

The Teeth of the SoulsA Novel by Steve Yates

Sequel to Morkan’s Quarry, The Teeth of the Souls tells the story of a mar-riage betrayed, a lifelong and secret love, and an Ozarks city riven by an Easter lynching.

Grounded in broad historical research and spanning Missouri’s reconstruction, vigilantism, and fall from grace, The Teeth of the Souls chronicles the violent melding of immigrant strains—Irish, German, Scots-Irish, and African American—into the fabric of the Ozarks. As Leighton’s twentieth century begins, the rush of technology and the seeming advancement of humankind cannot mask old hatreds, greed, and lust for vengeance. Leighton’s answer to evil affirms the power of one man’s resistance, and the cost.

“Steve Yates searches out the hidden stories from our regional history. Those events that were murky in the shadows, forgotten, or simply not spoken about, are in his hands turned into powerful and fresh fiction. Yates has scope to his ambitions, and talent to match. An exciting new voice.”

—DANIEL WOODRELL, author of The Maid’s Version and Winter’s Bone
