Poems by James Seay Louisiana State University Press (Hardcover: $22.95, ISBN: 0807121290; Paperback: $15.95, ISBN: 0807121304) Publication date: January 1997 Description: This superb collection of new and older work shows James Seay’s sure progress from the reflection of first influences to the strongly individual voice of his later pieces. As always, Seay evokes a profound sense of history and place the landscape, colors, scents, and musical vocal cadences of his native South and the world at large. By Oprah Winfrey, Edited by Bill Adler Birch Lane Press (Hardcover, $14.95, ISBN: 1559724196) Publication date: January 1997 Description: In an intriguing biography, Oprah talks about losing
weight, her experimentation with drugs, her childhood, her illegitimate child,
her relationship to her family, and her uneasiness with the public’s continued
fascination with her. By William Goyen; Edited by Brooke Horvath, Irving Malin, and Paul Ruffin University of Texas Press (Hardcover, $37.50, ISBN: 0292731167) Publication date: January 1997 Description: William Goyen was known as a “writer’s
writer,” one of those whose skill endeared him to a small but appreciative
audience. He was a Texan who wrote short stories and novels, perhaps most notably
The House of Breath. In this collection of more than 20 essays, such
fans as Madison Smartt Bell, James Merrill, Ned Rorem, and Joyce Carol Oates
offer critical essays about Goyen’s work and personal tributes to him
as a man. The testimonials are often moving, and do much to encourage serious
readers to investigate Goyen’s body of work.
