The Cost of Cool

Austin’s Tech Growth and the People

Left

Behind

Jon Roberts

With contributions by Tracye McDaniel, Elsie EcheverriCarroll, Evan Johnston, and Jennifer Todd-Goynes

e city of Austin consistently leads lists of fastest-growing and most-desirable places to live—a simultaneous source of pride and anxiety for residents. In e Cost of Cool: Austin’s Tech Growth and the People Le Behind, author Jon Roberts and his contributors investigate Austin’s evolving identity and tackle a question posed repeatedly by community and business leaders nationally: How did Austin, Texas, become a global tech leader? More broadly, this book focuses on economic development and policy dilemmas faced by growing cities while maintaining both social equity and the elusive qualities of “place” that a ract creative and innovative talent.

Echoing themes raised by other urbanist scholars, Roberts and his collaborators do not shy away from the sometimes-unsavory aspects of tax incentives, environmental issues, cultural loss, and economic exclusion. While tackling the problems raised by unbridled growth, they also address concerns of younger workers who are increasingly prioritizing “place” over “job.”

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, e Cost of Cool emphasizes the centrality of vision: for growth (as Austin’s population doubles every twenty years); for openness (o en driven by the in uence of the South by Southwest conference and Austin’s music scene); and for the future of the tech industry (including the implications of forty years of commitment to semiconductors, so ware, and social media). e Cost of Cool informs the ongoing debate over how to foster economic growth without degrading the quality-of-life characteristics that help make it possible.

2nd Edition

Kenneth Hafertepe

In his vibrant tour of historic homes in Waco, Texas, architectural historian Kenneth L. Hafertepe shares a glimpse of the surprising variety of styles and stories captured in the houses built by and for early Waco residents.

A new edition of a cornerstone of Prairie View history . . .

Prairie View

A Study in Public Conscience, 1878–1946, Volume I

George Ruble Woolfolk

Edited and with Updated Annotation by Ronald E. Goodwin

In 1962, George Ruble Woolfolk, perhaps the foremost Black historian in Texas at the time, published his most well-known work, Prairie View: A Study in Public Conscience, 1878–1946, a history of the state’s rst institution of higher education for African Americans. Recording the university’s rst six decades of existence, Woolfolk’s book also chronicled the many social and educational challenges faced by Black Texans during what was still the Jim Crow Era in Texas and the American South.

Now, historian and scholar Ronald E. Goodwin has edited and annotated Woolfolk’s in uential book, making it available and accessible to current scholars and students, as well as those interested in the early history of not only Prairie View A&M University but also of historically Black colleges and universities. Students and scholars in African American studies or the history of education will nd Goodwin’s updated edition a valuable resource for study, research, and a more complete understanding of the historical contexts of higher education for people of color.

Published in coordination with the sesquicentennial of Prairie View A&M University, this new edition of Woolfolk’s classic work reintroduces a new generation of scholars and students to a vital and foundational work.

The Hill We Climbed

Prairie View A&M University

Edited by Will Guzmán and William T. Hoston Foreword by Tomikia P. LeGrande Foreword by Ronald E. Goodwin

Founded in 1876, Prairie View A&M University is the secondoldest public institution of higher learning in Texas, one of two Texas land-grant universities, and an “institution of the rst class” within the Texas A&M University System. It is also the rst public historically Black college or university (HBCU) in Texas. Prairie View A&M has played a pivotal role in the educational and economic experiences of African American Texans. As the university celebrates its sesquicentennial in 2026, editors Will Guzmán and William T. Hoston document and interpret the actions of important individuals, campus institutions, and cultural traditions that made Prairie View A&M what it is today.

e Hill We Climbed: Prairie View A&M University complements former Prairie View professor George R. Woolfolk’s classic 1962 work Prairie View: A Study in Public Conscience, 1878–1946 and Michael Nojeim’s 2011 Down that Road: A Pictorial History of Prairie View A&M University to further contextualize Prairie View A&M’s place among HBCUs, higher education in general, and Texas Black life in particular. Prairie View A&M University has a long and rich history, of which past literature provides only a small sampling. In celebrating the 150-year anniversary of the founding of this historically Black institution, e Hill We Climbed documents how the university continues to ful ll its historic mission, encapsulating PVAMU’s mo o: “Prairie View produces productive people.”

A compelling tribute to a vital Texan musician and visual artist . . .

Patience for the Ride

The Art and Life of Will Johnson

John Krajicek

Foreword by Ron Rash

With contributions by Jason Isbell, Jim James, and others

Jason Isbell describes Will Johnson’s songs as a poetic manipulation of language that employs “multi-syllable words used almost as musical instruments [and] detailed images ying at the listener with no time to fully decipher meaning before the next image appears.” Similar sentiments are echoed in many engaging essays shared here by John Krajicek in Patience for the Ride: e Art and Life of Will Johnson. Recollections from fellow musicians and artists show unwavering appreciation for Johnson, not only for his considerable artistic abilities, but also for his admirable qualities as a human being. He is consistently described as extraordinary, funny, and “the nicest guy in the world.”

Born in Kenne , Missouri, but hailing from Texas since the age of eleven, Johnson fronted the prominent indie bands Centro-matic and South San Gabriel and has performed and toured with Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit. His music is complimented by esteemed artists including Isbell, Jim James, Bonnie Whitmore, Jon Dee Graham, Craig Finn, and New York Times bestselling novelist Ron Rash. In addition to his music, Johnson—a St. Louis Cardinals fan since childhood—is an avid painter of folk-art style baseball paintings, eagerly sought by collectors nationwide. And in 2021, he published a novel, If or When I Call.

e contributions compiled by Krajicek paint the story of someone “both completely sincere and a kind of court jester. Both genius and an unassuming, regular guy.” Complete with entertaining and heartfelt stories, Patience for the Ride invites readers to know Johnson the way his closest friends do, paying tribute to a consummate musician, wordsmith, and a singular Texan artist.

Deep in the Soul of Texas

An Anthology of Black Literature from the Lone Star State

Edited by Cary Clack

Foreword by Steven L. Davis

Foreword by Regina Taylor

Deep in the Soul of Texas: An Anthology of Black Literature om the Lone Star State presents vivid rsthand accounts of resistance, perseverance, and triumph of the Black experience as the rst-ever anthology of African American Texan writers. From Giddings poet Gwendolyn B. Benne (1902–1981) to Beaumont native and intellectual Amilcar Shabazz, this anthology highlights the most prominent literary gures of each decade and features Texas’ leading African American writers of today.

Edited by Cary Clack, the rst Black metro columnist at the San Antonio Express-News, this anthology represents an important a empt at uncovering and celebrating the roots of Black writing and writers from and about Texas. is collection of poetry, ction, essays, drama, speeches, and memoir join to celebrate story, imagination, and language of the last 150 years of Texas history. Within each chapter, the anthology grows one step closer in addressing a longstanding question that looms over the Lone Star State: what does it mean to be Black in Texas?

Each of the ve parts in this anthology features a di erent facet of Black history from escape and heritage to folklore and injustice. Illuminating the varied Black experience in Texas, this anthology lls a major gap in Texas literature. Deep in the Soul of Texas brings light to all Texans as it helps change conversations—not just about what it means to be Black in Texas but expanding conceptions of what being “a Texan” truly means.

Denton Women’s Interracial Fellowship

Leading a Texas City’s Desegregation

Annetta Ramsay Foreword by Danielle Phillips-Cunningham

In 1964, the task of racial desegregation of public schools hung over the country. In Denton, a North Texas town, a remarkable alliance transcended racial divides and ignited a city-wide grassroots civil rights movement. Denton Women’s Interracial Fellowship: Leading a Texas City’s Desegregation by Anne a Ramsay is a vital historical account chronicling the extraordinary journey of courageous Black and White women. Driven by a shared desire to prepare their children for desegregation, the women formed the Denton Women’s Interracial Fellowship.

While media outlets focused daily on the violence of White men against Black men, Denton’s Black and White women challenged entrenched systemic oppression to advocate for racial equality. Despite pervasive animosity and violence directed toward Black individuals by some within the White community, the women’s in uence radiated throughout every corner of the city. For twenty- ve years, their moral compass signaled that racism would not be tolerated.

Working toward achieving civil rights transformed these women; they became leaders. Positions of power within the group segued into pivotal political and community roles. Fellowship members solved community problems, tutored students, registered voters, and tirelessly worked to break down Denton’s segregation. Denton Women’s Interracial Fellowship provides a testament to the transformative power of grassroots organization. Boundless possibilities arise when individuals unite to pursue a more just and equitable society.

Joy to the World

The Life and Paintings of Lu Ann Barrow

Edited by Kathleen Davis Niendorff

“ e tenor of my paintings is usually joyful and celebratory with rare expressions of sorrow or even shadows,” Lu Ann Barrow wrote in her artist’s statement. Represented for many years by the respected Valley House Gallery and Sculpture Garden in Dallas, she acquired many admirers, including former rst lady Laura Bush, who commissioned Barrow to create poster art for the Texas Book Festival and the inaugural National Book Festival in 2001. Barrow’s works communicate “tremendous joy through a fusion of folk-style genre scenes with biblical subjects,” according to art historian Karen Pope.

Barrow drew inspiration from not only the Bible but also from travel, rural life, culture, and storytelling. She “wielded a seemingly ‘untrained’ style that lured viewers in with irresistible details and bright colors,” explains Katie Robinson Edwards, curator of Austin’s Umlauf Sculpture Garden and Museum. A student of William Lester and Dan Wingren, Barrow created an oeuvre encompassing such varied subjects as vivid representations of a moment in the life of a country church, illustrations of biblical parables with characters dressed in overalls and straw hats, friends erupting in laughter at a shared joke, or the visual feast evoked by a scene from a Turkish market.

Kathleen Davis Niendor , one of Barrow’s many devoted collectors, has assembled a multifaceted look at Barrow’s work and in uence. Including brief essays from art historians, gallery owners, collectors, friends, and family members, the ultimate focus of Joy to the World: e Life and Paintings of Lu Ann Barrow is on the art itself—the language in which Barrow was most eloquent. Collectors and a cionados will delight in the colorful cornucopia provided by this beloved Texas artist.

Napakō, Our Journey

The Coahuiltecan Creation Story and the Sacred Springs

As retold by María F. Rocha

Illustrated by Clemente Guzman III

Adapted for young readers by Regina Allen

Napakō, the Coahuiltecan word for “our journey,” is the captivating and authentic Indigenous creation story of how people came to be on Mother Earth. Napakō, Our Journey: e Coahuiltecan Creation Story and the Sacred Springs is based on the creation tale of the Coahuiltecan people who for 14,000 years have occupied the surrounding lands of what is now known as San Marcos, Texas. e book is a retelling in wri en words and illustrations of the oral tradition as it has been told by Indigenous storyteller María Rocha.

As seen from a child’s perspective, the main story tells of spirits who once lived in the lower world, but when they became people, they needed to live in the upper world. It follows their journey as they are guided by animal spirits to the upper world, traveling through a portal of water to live above on the surface of Mother Earth. With facts about the Coahuiltecan people, the San Marcos Springs and Spring Lake, and the animals who live in the surrounding area, Napakō, Our Journey is an inspiring and educational introduction to the creation beliefs of one of the most widespread Indigenous peoples in Texas and northern Mexico.

Killing Your Best Friend: A Veterinarian’s Journal and Manual of Euthanasia is an unconventional look at issues surrounding end-of-life care for pets by Austin-area veterinarian Michael Mullen with his wife, Kate O’Neill. eir book presents an intimate, compelling journal and practical manual for euthanasia home visits that o ers veterinarians guidance while informing pet owners of the process.

Mullen draws upon his vast experience of euthanizing more than 2,000 pets in their homes with the owners present, a practice rarely done before 1985. He was among the pioneers who began using sedation before pu ing an animal to sleep, which was an almost non-existent process when he started his career, to ease the death of the animal and the anxiety of the owner. More than twenty years ago, Mullen began writing “death notices” as his own coping mechanism. He organized these journal entries with further re ections, giving readers a front-row seat to how he performs euthanasia while de ly exploring the accompanying grief, loss, and wisdom gained, o en from the people for whom he is performing this unwelcome service.

Killing Your Best Friend tells the story of how Mullen’s a itude toward the most dreaded part of his profession has evolved over the last forty years to curiosity and even to perceiving it as a spiritual honor.

MICHAEL MULLEN has been a visiting veterinarian making house calls in the Austin area since the 1980s. He holds a DVM from Texas A&M University and is a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association. His unique veterinary approach was highlighted in e New Yorker’s 2024 short documentary “ e Passing.” TE O’NEILL encouraged Michael to write his experiences and helped gather and polish them into a book. Originally from Houston, she resides in the Austin area.

Journeys through the human-environmental history of state parks . . .

Stepping Outside

Nature and Society in Texas State Parks

Jason P. Julian Foreword by Andrew Sansom

e story of state parks in Texas is a compelling one, rich with environmental and cultural history. Environmental geographer and scientist Jason P. Julian’s visits to each state park, initially for outdoor recreation and then for research, sparked a keen interest in the interwoven natural and cultural history of the parks.

Stepping Outside: Nature and Society in Texas State Parks tackles the environmental and sociocultural history of the Lone Star State’s parks as they have evolved and o ers new perspectives on the multidimensional bene ts of the parks. Julian’s recounting of his and his family’s experiences over a decade provides a deeper insight into how the parks connect people and nature.

Incorporating interviews with current and former park superintendents, rangers, and resource managers, this wideranging survey gives readers a fuller appreciation of the parks’ environmental and social impacts. Texas state parks have evolved to meet the needs of a rapidly growing population and changing environment, from preserving historic and cultural sites to embracing recreational needs to prioritizing environmental stewardship. Over the last 100 years, the parks have expanded throughout the state, increased in size, and connected a broader society to nature’s bene ts.

Generously illustrated, Stepping Outside provides a deeper understanding of Texas’s natural heritage and o ers insight on the many ways state parks add to the quality of life. Environmentalists, geographers, natural resource managers, and anyone wishing to visit a Texas state park will nd a wealth of knowledge on conservation, history, and the success story of state parks.

Ecology and Management

Edited by Leonard A. Brennan and Fidel Hernández

Foreword by Stephen J. “Tio” Kleberg

Building on the successful rst edition, published in 2007, this comprehensive update to Texas Quails: Ecology and Management provides an encyclopedic overview of the research and best practices that support quail management and conservation, an accessible as well as useful guide for wildlife and natural resource professionals.

Four species of quails are native to Texas—the Northern Bobwhite, Scaled Quail, Montezuma Quail, and Gambel’s Quail—and hold the fascination of naturalists, hunters, and the general public. e Northern Bobwhite and Scaled Quail are of major economic signi cance to the state: hunters pay millions of dollars annually to lease land and construct hunting camps to support their pursuit of these birds. Gambel’s Quail and Montezuma Quail are found in limited areas of southwestern Texas and represent an important barometer of rangelands and habitat conditions.

e previously untold story of the Texas Rangers and white supremacy . . .

J. T. Canales and the Texas Rangers

Richard H. Ribb

In 1919, José Tomás Canales, South Texas patrón and state representative, led legislation to reform the Texas Rangers that spawned two weeks of hearings in the state capitol. Only Canales could have brought about this series of events. His power, privilege, and perspective made him uniquely quali ed to challenge the Rangers. reatened with violence by a Ranger for daring to call out atrocities, a acked in print and in the state house for his own ethnic heritage, ridiculed as a shill for corrupt political interests, and accused of plo ing the elimination of the Ranger Force, Canales persevered to present the full, o en unsavory, history of the Rangers through public testimony.

In J. T. Canales and the Texas Rangers, author Richard H. Ribb chronicles the daily testimony and context of the 1919 hearings to reveal the main currents of social, racial, and political forces taking shape in early twentieth-century Texas. Canales was unsuccessful at the time in reforming the Rangers, but ultimately several of his ideas endured in subsequent legislation and policy. is analysis of the Canales hearings provides an unprecedented exposure of state-sanctioned violence and its a ermath.

RICHARD H. RIBB is an independent scholar whose publications include chapters in Reverberations of Racial Violence: Critical Re ections on Borderlands History, edited by Sonia Hernández and John Morán González, and War along the Border: e Mexican Revolution and the Tejano Community, edited by Arnoldo De León, as well as numerous articles and book reviews.

e “Red Captain” in New Spain . . .

Hugo O’Conor

A Shadow of Ireland in New Spain

Mark Santiago

Hugo O’Conor: A Shadow of Ireland in New Spain presents a comprehensive biography of Hugo O’Conor (1734–1779), the rst Commandant Inspector of the Interior Provinces of New Spain. Demonstrating the remarkable breadth of O’Conor’s life experiences, the narrative moves from his early life in Ireland to a successful career in the Spanish military spanning both sides of the Atlantic.

O’Conor’s story reads like an action-packed nail-biter. He grew up on “the Isle of Slaves,” as Ireland has been characterized, but had to ee due to the imposition of the anti-Catholic Penal Laws of the eighteenth century. He entered the Hibernia Regiment of the Spanish army and subsequently found himself immured in a rigid military caste system at the age of een. O’Conor went on a wide array of adventures: ghting a brutal—but largely forgo en—war in Portugal; serving as a drill master in Cuba; becoming a spy and then governor in Texas; and implementing the crown’s plans of military reform in northern New Spain, becoming feared by Apaches across the Southwest Borderlands. Finally se led a er his travels, he became an e ective governor of Yucatán during the same period as the American Revolution.

Author Mark Santiago’s Hugo O’Conor makes its principal contribution to borderlands history by showing how O’Conor played a crucial part in the development of Spanish military power in what is now the American Southwest. Perhaps even more importantly, this work captures the humanity of O’Conor and his times. Hugo O’Conor is an enticing blend of artistic storytelling and academic rigor that advances our understanding of the military and political landscape of the Spanish Colonial period, especially in the Texas–Mexico borderlands.

William H. Bartsch

With Edward M. Rogers

In the dark days of World War II, just a er Pearl Harbor, Japanese forces were moving almost at will across Southeast Asia and the Paci c. With his troops besieged in the Philippines and his bomber and ghter squadrons nearly reduced to impotence, General MacArthur pressured the US War Department to provide urgent help, particularly for replacements for the B-17 bombers decimated in the December 8 a ack on Clark Field. President Roosevelt commi ed to send a large force of heavy bombers and their crews to the Philippines, a reinforcement plan code named “Project X.”

During the following weeks, the air force combat command made frenzied e orts to access the sixty- ve Boeing B-17Es and een Consolidated LB-30 heavy bombers that were to comprise the Project X force. e novice crews that were cobbled together would be required to y their bombers two-thirds of the way around the globe, from MacDill Field in Florida to their new destination on the island of Java, where they were immediately thrown into combat. Project X, as the rst test of the doctrine of strategic bombing, was an assignment unprecedented in US military history, though it was ultimately doomed to failure.

Continuing his masterful series of books on the air war in the Paci c eater, military historian William H. Bartsch takes readers inside the headquarters planning rooms, the front-line command posts, and the cockpits of the aircra to chronicle another chapter in the early days of the Allied e ort to meet the Japanese challenge. Desperate Gambit:Project X and the American Aerial Defense of Java, 1941–1942 will be eagerly received by both general readers and professional historians interested in the evolution of aerial combat and strategic bombing of World War II in the Paci c.

Nuclear Brinkmanship n (1956): the policy of ge ing to the dangerous verge without tipping into nuclear war

North Korea, Nuclear Brinkmanship, and the Oval Office

Frederick H. Fleitz

Only nine countries have possessed nuclear weapons in the roughly eighty years since the US rst introduced the atomic bomb to the world. Since then, a dangerous game of “will they, won’t they?” has been played between these nations. e most infamous stando is the Cold War between the US and USSR, but the emergence of North Korea’s nuclear program in the 1950s—with the support of the USSR—is o en overlooked. While repeatedly downplayed in media over the decades, public consciousness is beginning to recognize North Korea’s nuclear ability.

In North Korea, Nuclear Brinkmanship, and the Oval O ce, Frederick H. Fleitz, who has more than twenty- ve years of experience working in US national security agencies, reveals the advanced state of Pyongyang’s nuclear weapons program. Fleitz examines the history of US policy toward North Korea from the Eisenhower administration to the end of the Biden administration and o ers a history and an analysis of the development of nuclear infrastructure in North Korea despite US e orts to impede the development. He a ributes this state of a airs, in part, to mistakes and inconsistencies in US policy from administrations of both political parties. Further, Fleitz covers the strategies employed by North Korea to delay, defuse, and otherwise work around various sanctions and agreements that both nations view as obstacles to their nuclear aims.

O ering the work as a “resource for US o cials, experts, media, and allies,” Fleitz stresses the urgency of a coherent and e ective US policy that recognizes both the seriousness of nuclear threats and the global, political, and military realities that have given rise to them.

Beyond the Bone Beds

Large-Scale Bison Kills in Northwest Oklahoma

Leland C. Bement

For those interested in the archaeology of prehistoric North America, author Leland C. Bement’s Beyond the Bone Beds: Large-Scale Bison Kills in Northwest Oklahoma presents carefully researched technical data that will enlighten scholars, students, eld researchers, and general readers alike. Bison are a keystone prey species of the grassland ecosystem, o en migrating long distances. North American hunter-gatherers relied on large-scale bison hunting, which greatly in uenced their culture. For over thirty years, senior research archaeologist Leland Bement has excavated and analyzed bison kill sites with his research teams, cataloging the faunal remains and associated artifacts.

Embracing sites spanning 12,000 years of prehistory with artifacts from the Clovis, Folsom, Late Paleoindian, Late Archaic, and Late Prehistoric periods, the collection at the Courson Family Bison Research Center o ers a uniquely broad pale e for the study of these hunter-gatherers’ relationships with and use of bison, and the development of hunting technologies. Bement has organized the sites, bones, and artifacts contained in the CFBRC chronologically. is important work makes possible the assessment of uctuations in bison populations over the centuries, along with the in uences of climate, human predation and changing hunting strategies.

Bement presents his research with illustrative photographs, charts, and line art to engage both archaeological practitioners and wellinformed laypersons. Beyond the Bone Beds o ers its readers a new perspective on the prehistoric and later peoples of North America and their interactions with their environment.

Intriguing insights from an unusual Paleoamerican cache . . .

Flaked Stone Artifacts from the East Wenatchee Clovis Cache

Edited

by Bruce B. Huckell, Bruce A. Bradley, and Peter J. Mehringer Foreword by Joe E. Watkins

In 1987, workers installing irrigation pipes in an apple orchard in East Wenatchee, Washington, discovered a cache of Clovis materials. e uncovered bifaces—larger than most previously discovered Clovis artifacts with unmatched quality and quantity—had a lasting impact on archaeology. Flaked Stone Artifacts om the East Wenatchee Clovis Cache delineates not only the history of the site, but also describes the aked stone artifacts, analyzes the manufacturing strategies indicated by their aking pa erns, and draws conclusions about potential pa erns of Clovis biface production.

Seasoned archaeologists and editors Bruce B. Huckell, Bruce A. Bradley, and Peter J. Mehringer note that the value of studying such caches lies in what they may reveal about transportation pa erns among Paleolithic inhabitants of North America. Since lithic tools o en provide evidence of initial quarrying at one location followed by nishing work and storage at another location, the caches where these technologies are unearthed permit inferences about the makers’ routes between quarries and camps, as well as the characteristics of cache sites versus hunting camps and kill sites.

In this heavily illustrated volume, readers can see for themselves the bifaces’ size variance and technological sequences that allude to potential production strategies of the Clovis int knappers. Unique to the site are the large uted points that suggest ceremonial use because they’re bigger than what scholars identify as “utilitarian.” Flaked Stone Artifacts om the East Wenatchee Clovis Cache provides a detailed technological analysis of the specimens recovered, enlightening researchers on the lifeways and ideologies of some of the earliest North Americans.

Early Paleoindians in the Upper Midcontinent of North America

Lithic Procurement, Settlement Mobility, and Social Interaction

Edited by Brad H. Koldehoff and Henry T. Wright

Based on decades of research centered on the earliest known uted-point producing groups in the North American midcontinent, Early Paleoindians in the Upper Midcontinent of North America: Lithic Procurement, Se lement Mobility, and Social Interaction brings together a broad array of case studies from the United States and Canada that o ers fresh perspectives on how early populations utilized the land and its resources, how and when they se led in particular locations, and how they interacted.

With a focus on Clovis and Clovis-related sites dating from 11,500–10,800 years ago, the case studies encompass the lower Great Lakes region, the upper and middle Mississippi River valleys, and portions of the Middle South. By documenting the movement and distribution of chipped-stone artifacts from various sites, volume editors Brad H. Koldeho and Henry T. Wright and their contributors discern pa erns of long-distance se lement mobility. e case studies in most regions document movements of several hundred kilometers. ese pa erns of movement are not anomalous but represent routine and likely seasonal relocations.

e untold story of the man who “invented” the aviation industry in the United States . . .

Aviation as a Business

Clement M. Keys and the Formation of the American Aviation Industry

Edward M. Young Foreword by F. Robert van der Linden

Entrepreneurship in aviation took ight during the 1920s, though at the beginning of the decade it was struggling for survival. A er World War I, the market was oversaturated with war surplus airplanes, commercial transport was a mere dream, and, with no laws or regulations on air travel, aviation lacked investors.

Clement M. Keys, a Canadian-born business reporter for the Wall Street Journal and editor of e World’s Work, realized that aviation must be treated as a business to bene t national defense, commerce, and transportation. In Aviation as a Business: Clement M. Keys and the Formation of the American Aviation Industry, author Edward M. Young shows how Keys (a former investment banker) rescued the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Corporation from bankruptcy, culminating in the merger that created the Curtiss-Wright Corporation. It became one of the largest aviation groups in America—with interests spanning the manufacture of military and commercial airplanes, aviation exports, air services, and nance—over a remarkable ten years with Keys’s guidance.

Keys was actively involved in organizing what would become three of the largest airlines in America: National Air Transport, precursor of United Airlines; Transcontinental Air Transport, the rst transcontinental passenger airline and precursor of TWA; and Eastern Air Transport, which became Eastern Airlines.

Captain Drew’s World Dispatches from the Age of Global Sail

Compiled and Edited by

W. H. Bunting

From 1877 to 1889, as Capt. John H. Drew plied the world’s oceans aboard the full-rigged ship Sea Witch of Boston, he wrote lengthy dispatches to the Boston Journal. He was a man of action and intellect who cra ed closely observed, empathic prose, wellsalted with dry wit. Drew described his current and past voyaging in various trades, including the Boston “Straits” trade, the co on and emigrant trade, the Cape Horn grain trade, the East India ice trade, the Far East case oil trade, the Australian packet trade, and the sugar trade from sleepy ports of the Spanish and Dutch empires that today are teeming megacities. e font of knowledge included the proper stowage of cargoes of pepper, sugar, and recrackers.

An expert navigator and seaman, Drew also loved music; dabbled in art; studied history, literature, and geography; and was a worldclass collector of seashells. He was outspoken against the virulent anti-Chinese bias of the late 1800s. A superlative chronicler of life at sea, Drew was a keen observer of foreign lands and cultures. Drew’s later le ers re ect a melancholy, the loneliness of a captain’s life, the drowning of three of his brothers, and the decline of the once-preeminent American deepwater eet. As a member of a shipbuilding family with deep maritime roots in Maine’s Kennebec River valley, Drew wrote to preserve the record of the passing of an age and his place in it.

Maritime historian and editor W. H. Bunting has compiled Drew’s writings and gathered them here with enlightening annotation. Captain Drew’s World: Dispatches om the Age of Global Sail provides readers a vivid window onto the great age of sail from both coasts of the United States to the Caribbean, Europe, Southeast Asia, Australia, and beyond.

Black Gold in Texas

Oil and Gas History in the Southwestern Historical Quarterly

Richard B. McCaslin

Oil rede ned Texas in the twentieth century. During the nineteenth century, Texans had won their independence from Mexico, joined fellow Southerners in losing the Civil War, and made a great economic recovery with ca le and co on. All of that provided more than enough history to give Texas a distinct image in the eyes of many observers. en Spindletop exploded in 1901, ooding the surrounding landscape with barrels of black gold. Other drillers found glory and pro t in the Lone Star State, and by 1927 Texas led the United States in oil production. Texans also pro ted greatly from natural gas, re ning, pipelines, petrochemicals, and other oil-related enterprises, all of which rede ned not just the Texas economy, but also its politics and society. is can clearly be seen in articles that have appeared in the Southwestern Historical Quarterly, the oldest continuously published academic journal in the United States. is volume includes seventeen selections on oil and gas history from the Quarterly, providing a broad perspective on its evolution and impact.

Texan in Blue

Captain Francis Asbury Vaughan of the First Texas Cavalry, USA

Richard B. McCaslin and  J. Wayne Stewart

Francis Asbury Vaughan le his home in Guadalupe County, Texas on July 4, 1862, to ght in the Civil War.  But he did not join a Confederate unit. Unlike twenty-one of his brothers and cousins, and most white male Texans who fought in that con ict, he became a captain in the First Texas Cavalry, USA, the bestknown Union out t from the Lone Star State. Fortunately for historians, he recorded some of his wartime experiences in what he called a memorandum, which remains in the possession of his descendants along with other treasured records concerning him and his relatives.  ese documents are the foundation for this book, which provides a unique insight into the ideals and actions of a Texan who not only served for three years as a Union o cer but a erward became a Republican for the remaining three decades of his life in Texas. As a Texan in blue, a delegate to the Constitutional Convention of 1868, a federal appointee and elected local o cial several times over, and a successful businessman and father, Vaughan established a legacy that o ers useful perspectives not only on him, but on the events that surrounded and involved him.

Twilight of the Old Army in Texas, 1900–1941

Thomas T. “Ty” Smith, Col. (Ret.)

e third volume of (Ret.) Col. omas Ty Smith’s military trilogy—which includes e Old Army in Texas (TSHA, 2000, 2020), and The Old Army in the Big Bend of Texas: e Last Cavalry Frontier, 1911–1921 (TSHA, 2018)—begins with a narrative of Army activities in Texas, this time focusing on the rst three decades of the twentieth century, and includes a lengthy appendix that provides detailed unit locations and commanders of Army tactical units in Texas from 1900 to 1941.

is is the rst project of its kind for this period, an era overlooked by many military historians. Smith explores topics such as the e ect of the Army reforms of 1903, the border challenge of the Mexican Revolution, the Army goals of reorganization and consolidation, advances in technology, the impact of World War I, and the Army involvement with the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Great Depression.

is work will appeal to the general reader and will be invaluable to both historians and archeologists with an interest in the U.S. Army and Texas.

Life and Death on the Western Front

Marine Private Charles Jefferson Rhea’s World War I Memoir Edited and annotated by James Presley

Charles Je erson Rhea, freshly graduated from high school, made a life-changing decision in the summer of 1918. With the Navy’s quotas lled he joined the Marines. An Idaho native who grew up in Texas, Rhea was soon in France with the Fi h Marines of the AEF’s Second Division in the Great War.

Quickly thrown into combat on the Western Front, Rhea’s challenge was to stay alive as shelling and machine gun re killed men all around him. He endured savage ghting at St. Mihiel, Blanc Mont Ridge, and the Meuse-Argonne o ensive before the November 1918 armistice secured a successful conclusion to the war for the Allies. He celebrated the victory in a hospital, felled by poison gas, exhaustion, and perhaps the Spanish Flu. Returning home, he struggled to nd work and support a growing a family, but he also wrote a compelling memoir of his wartime experiences. Historian James Presley later discovered this manuscript and edited and annotated it. anks to him, and to Charlie and his family, readers now have not just another story of a Texas doughboy in World War I, but also a useful perspective on the debate over tactics, open warfare versus trench warfare, that continues today.

JAMES PRESLEY has wri en nine previous books and published numerous articles in academic and popular publications. A former newspaperman, Presley earned his Ph.D. in History from the University of Texas at Austin.

Bastion by the Bay

The Presidio of San Francisco, from Outpost of Empire to Magnificent Park

John P. Langellier

e Presidio of San Francisco, founded in 1776, stood guard over a major port that evolved into the storied city by the Golden Gate.

e Spanish rst erected a less-than-imposing fort and a pair of tiny artillery emplacements armed with antiquated cannons. In the early 1820s, the Mexican government inherited the presidio but lost it to the manifest destiny of the United States. By the 1840s the US Army constructed major defense bulwarks on both sides of the “harbor of harbors.” Early earthen and brick bastions gave way to steel and concrete, and eventually missiles bearing nuclear warheads studded the landscape.

ese previously formidable sentinels now stand silent and empty. Former military reservations no longer poise ready for war. Nearly two and a half centuries a er the rst band of King Carlos III’s lancers planted the Spanish banner on windswept dunes, this once remote military outpost now serves a new purpose as a magni cent national park. Swords have been beaten into proverbial plowshares, but at a cost of sweat and blood by generations of troops, their families, and others, beginning with the peninsula’s original inhabitants to later stalwart soldiers from three nations. Some of them achieved fame, but most led ordinary lives. Both this unique place and the many people who made their homes here form an integral part of our nation’s fascinating, complex past.

Under the Shadow of Napoleon

The US Army’s Doctrine, Education, and Theory of Victory from 1814 to 1941. Second Edition

Michael A. Bonura

e way an army understands warfare and how to achieve victory on the ba le eld has a tremendous impact on its organization, equipment, training, and doctrine. e central ideas of that understanding form an army’s eory of Victory, which informs how that army ghts. From the disasters of the War of 1812, Win eld Sco ensured that America adopted a series of ideas formed in the crucible of the French Revolution and perfected by Napoleon Bonaparte as the United States Army’s eory of Victory. ese French ideas dominated American warfare on the ba le elds of the Mexican-American War, the American Civil War, the Spanish-American War, and World War I.

e American Army remained commi ed to these ideas until the successes of German blitzkrieg led George C. Marshall to orchestrate the adoption of a di erent set of ideas that formed a di erent eory of Victory in 1940. e French in uence in this period is remarkably consistent throughout the Army regulations and doctrine and o cer education at West Point, Fort Leavenworth, the Army War College, and on American ba le elds across the globe. Understanding the French ideas that dominated American warfare provides a new context to the military actions, policies, and decisions from 1814 through 1941.

is second edition is updated from the rst edition of 2012 with a signi cant expansion of primary sources from the curriculum of the Command and General Sta College at Fort Leavenworth. Michael A. Bonura o ers new analysis of how the eory of Victory was adopted, re ned, and replaced, which will inform both the study of such transitions and the a empt to do so in the future.

His proli c career in New York continued into the late 1970s, until the life-changing event of his mother’s death prompted his return to Dallas County. He was quickly hired as artistic director of sets and costumes for Six Flags Over Texas Productions, dressing hundreds of actors in themed musicals performed in the brand’s multiple amusement parks nationwide. He also designed all of the costumes for Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus’s 1985–1986 tour.

I’m Alive

A Young Fighter Pilot’s Diary of the US Navy Air War in Vietnam, 1964–1965

Errol F. Reilly

Edited by Kevin Callahan and Christopher P. Callahan

I’m Alive is the compelling diary of Lieutenant Junior Grade (LTJG) Errol F. Reilly, a 26-year-old Navy ghter pilot, wri en aboard the aircra carrier USS Coral Sea during his rst Vietnam combat cruise. In writing that is colorful, perceptive, and, at times, both humorous and heartbreaking, Reilly chronicles his daily experiences “living, playing, and ghting” within the context of the Navy’s edgling air war.

Covering the period from December 1964 to October 1965, I’m Alive details an untested F-8 Crusader pilot’s personal journey from “nugget” aviator to seasoned combat professional. Reilly’s feelings quickly change from patriotic enthusiasm to frustrated disillusionment as he begins to experience the realities of Vietnam’s deadly air warfare. His keen observations provide rare insights into the evolving strategies and tactics of the US Navy in Vietnam.

In candid diary entries and excerpts from personal le ers wri en over the course of 118 combat missions, the author describes failed US a acks, such as the futile strikes against the unyielding North Vietnamese bridge at anh Hoa, and highlights joyful successes, like the harrowing, coordinated rescue of a downed naval aviator in the Gulf of Tonkin. roughout I’m Alive, Reilly’s playful sense of humor shines, as in his comical descriptions of shipboard practical jokes and the antics of aviators while far away from the ba le lines.

Edited by his stepsons Kevin and Christopher Callahan, who provide historical introductions and explanatory notes to the diary entries, I’m Alive o ers a bold, un ltered narrative of the early stages of the Navy air war in Vietnam. It will appeal to enthusiasts and scholars of the Vietnam air war alike, and to anyone interested in fascinating personal accounts of friendship, war, and triumph over adversity.

A Chickasaw Lady, A Governor’s

Wife

Alice

Hearrell

Murray in the Era of the New Woman

Suzanne H. Schrems

Mary Alice Hearrell Murray was the wife of Oklahoma’s most colorful politician in the early twentieth century, William H. “Alfalfa Bill” Murray. Alice was the niece of Chickasaw governor Douglas Johnston, who was her guardian, and she was a graduate of the prominent Chickasaw girls’ school, Bloom eld Academy for Chickasaw Females. Alice graduated as the dawn of the twentieth century ushered in a more progressive society and the world of the new woman. Alice, however, was not a new woman of the Progressive era; she adhered to the traditional order of the Chickasaw people.

Alice also witnessed the dissolution of her tribal government and the division of communal lands into individual allotments. She acknowledged that the old ways must go and that her people must accept the dominant culture of twentieth-century America. As the wife of Murray, and as the niece of the governor of the Chickasaw Nation, Alice understood the changing world of both Indian Territory and Oklahoma Territory politics, and she witnessed the creation of the state of Oklahoma.

Progress Denied

Quakertown, White Supremacy, and the Illusion of Democracy in Denton, Texas, 1850–1925

Hollie A. Teague

e North Texas city of Denton was home to the Quakertown neighborhood, where Black Texans worked hard to overcome the legacy of slavery, build nancial success and family stability, educate their children, and worship God as they saw t. A model of “racial upli ” for over forty years, the community was eventually targeted by their white neighbors, who perpetrated a devastating act of civic violence.

Cloaking themselves in the legitimacy associated with city government, institutions of higher learning, fraternal orders, and civic improvement groups, the white community was able to cover their tracks while they planned a large-scale racist dispossession. en, in 1920, they got access to the most destructive weapon they’d deploy—the vote for women. Quickly, the very existence of Quakertown was put on the (whites-only) ballot, disguised as a beauti cation measure. By a narrow margin, the Black community was slated for destruction in 1921. Once the community removal was complete, Denton’s white community used the language of democracy and majority rule to cover up the whole thing.

Winner, Vassar Miller Prize in Poetry

Other Edens

Ash Bowen

Other Edens captures the heartache that arises from hope’s repeated failures. e poems explore how grief (re)shapes belief and how death (re)shapes memory. Readers of Frank Stanford’s poetry might nd a kinship between his and Bowen’s depictions of menace in the world. Bowen’s poems are stark and terse, eschewing any poetic impulses to repaint the world as anything but a demoralizing series of crushing disappointments.

“What is outside the Garden of Eden? Genesis tells us it’s the sweat of our labor on a hard and hot land full of weeds and thorns. But what if, as Ash Bowen’s title wonders, there are Other Edens? is is poetry akin to Johnny Cash and Buddy Moss, Tom Waits and Jason Isbell—ruin songs of the hard-luck and every kind of hurt, the ones whom hope seems to have abandoned—out of which a keen and human voice calls into the dark.

New in paper The Reel Thrilling Events of Bank Robber

Henry Starr From Gentleman Bandit to Movie Star and Back Again

Mark Archuleta

In 1921 headlines across the country announced the death of Henry Starr, a burgeoning silent lm star who was killed while a empting to rob a bank in Harrison, Arkansas. Cynics who knew the real Starr were not surprised. Before becoming a matinee idol, Starr had been the greatest bank robber of the horseback bandit era.

Starr’s only lm, the biographical movie A Debtor to the Law, is lost to history, but through surviving memorabilia, newspaper accounts, and interviews with people who worked with him on set, author Mark Archuleta traces how the reformed gentleman bandit a empted to use the power of cinema to reframe his life story and redeem himself in the eyes of the public, his family, and the Cherokee Nation. e Reel rilling Events of Bank Robber Henry Starr is about more than heists and Hollywood glamor. Starr’s journey is about the American myth of reinvention, recidivism, and the founding of the motion picture industry when racial tensions were simmering to a boil.

MARK ARCHULETA is an Emmy-winning screenwriter, journalist, and performer. A h-generation Coloradoan of Spanish Basque descent, he grew up steeped in the history of the American West and the colorful characters who inhabited it. He lives in Green Valley, California.

Adding Life to Years is deeply embedded in the culture of e Wesleyan. It’s not enough to live longer; what ma ers is how we live those extra years. e Wesleyan is commi ed to helping its residents live with purpose, joy, and connection—to truly add life to years.

Adding Life to Years

The Wesleyan at Georgetown

Robert W. Sledge

Adding Life to Years: e Wesleyan at Georgetown “ e skill of science has added years to life—now we must add life to years.” At the heart of e Wesleyan at Georgetown, a Methodist retirement home, lies a profound truth: it is not just a place to live—it is a home. Any meaningful narrative of e Wesleyan must begin with the people who chose to spend their later years here. ese women and men brought with them stories, resilience, and a deep desire for belonging. Over the years, thousands have called e Wesleyan their home, and they have done so with sincerity and pride. Few words carry the emotional weight and universal meaning of “home.” At e Wesleyan, residents have repeatedly a rmed, “ is is our home,” and they have meant it in the fullest, most heartfelt sense. It is a place of comfort, community, and continuity—a sanctuary where life is not only extended but enriched. e residents of e Wesleyan are not just seniors— they are survivors. Statistically, to reach the age of 78 (for men) or 83 (for women) in America is to have outlived half of one’s peers. Many of e Wesleyan’s residents have surpassed those milestones, having lived through decades of change, challenge, and triumph. ey are part of a generation that has witnessed history and contributed to it. In the second half of the 20th century, life expectancy increased signi cantly. Some of those who bene ted from this longevity chose to spend their extended years at e Wesleyan, drawn by its promise of peace, security, and dignity.

ROBERT W. SLEDGE is a distinguished historian and author, best known for his work on Texas history, Methodist heritage, and the city of Abilene. He holds the title of Distinguished Professor Emeritus of History at McMurry University and served as historian-in-residence for the Grady McWhiney Research Foundation. Sledge is the author of numerous books and articles, including: Hands on the Ark: e Struggle for Change in the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, 1914–1939 (Jesse Lee Prize winner), God’s Field, God’s Building (Kate Warnick Award winner), A People, A Place: e Story of Abilene (Volumes I & II), Five Dollars and Myself: A History of Mission of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Contributor and editor of the Heritage Journal

Living Fossils

Poems

Loren María Guay

Living Fossils invites readers into an unnatural history museum where coelacanths, horseshoe crabs, goblin sharks, and other curious creatures illuminate a narrative of queer and trans survival. Born in Paraguay and adopted to the United States, Guay navigates complex experiences of gender, commodi cation, and otherness through sh that order at gas station diners, toads that do magic tricks, and dinosaur skeletons that glow. Drawing together playfully ekphrastic prose poems and lyric investigations of violence, this collection wanders the exhibit halls of U.S. empire and emerges with a portrait of what it means to keep living in the face of extinction.

The Vanishings

Eight Stories

Kavi Yaga

Eight jeweled hauntings . . . the disappeared and disappearing, the once-longed-for, the self, the empty door . . . each story immerses you in an intimate, propulsive life that will lodge in your bones. Devastatingly comedic and heartbreaking, together, this collection o ers an expansive portrait of South Indian life in today’s 21st-century, global world—an unse ling ode to all that modern life takes from us, and brings to bear on, our heritages and human relationships.

rough the rich colors and sounds of vivid rural and urban South India—eight people, across class, gender, and generational barriers, set out alone in search of someone or something missing. When strange, perhaps supernatural, occurrences interrupt: an unlucky cloud; a magic fairness cream; a fortunetelling parrot, a chance meeting with a guru “godwoman”; a massive citywide power outage; a giant talking moon bird; national rumors of milkdrinking Ganesh idols; even objects in a house a er a divorce— what price will each person pay for choosing to believe in them?

“ I love what The Vanishings makes of empty space, of the disappeared and disappearing, the once-longedfor, the self, the empty door. Kavi Yaga has a mighty ear and these propulsive stories grip you with lines that sing, leaving you big-eyed and better-made.”—Kaveh Akbar, New York Times bestselling author and National Book Award Finalist

“ These eight jeweled hauntings are unsettling odes to all that is taken from us. Long after their final words, Kavi Yaga’s stories lodge in your bones and catch each other’s light.”—Mishi Saran, author of The Other Side of Light

Creative Writing Curiosity

Ten Essays on the Curious and the Writerly

Edited by Graeme Harper

Creative Writing Curiosity: Ten Essays on the Curious and Writerly is a lively collection examining how curiosity informs, shapes, deepens and empowers creative writing. Across ten varied essays the collection explores curiosity as stimulus, as guide, as teacher, companion or provocateur. Sometimes initiating, sometimes encouraging deeper thinking and greater imagining, and o en the impetus, curiosity is shown as innate and routinely engaged with uncertainty. It is from our desire to know, the questioning that our curiosity entails, that creative writing emerges. Ultimately, it is shown that curiosity is manifest not only in what we write creatively but in how we go about writing it.

Edited by Graeme Harper, this volume brings together essays by Janelle Adsit, Khem K. Aryal, Graeme Harper, Paul Hetherington, Stefan Jatschka, Jeri Kroll, Paris Lyons, Moy McRory, Julia Prendergast, Benjamin Slade, Eddie Tay, and Ioanna . Tyrou, each o ering a distinct perspective on how curiosity operates within the writing life.

Everything Is Water Poems

Chelsea Krieg

Everything Is Water is an open le er to caregivers as the speaker grapples with her partner’s life-threatening illness, pregnancy and new motherhood, and marriage. Growing up on the Virginia coast, the speaker knows the water’s danger and allure—asks, what is beneath, what has control in so much open and unknown space? e speaker continues to feel this unease in everything as she navigates fear, identity, and loss. Everything is water. Everything is the surface tension created by the unknown. e collection o en returns to the water and those inhabiting it, but it also looks to winged creatures, those on land, and those who are in between elements as they wrestle with their own survival. Water is an element that sustains and devours. When danger comes, we wonder when it will end. We ask how we can live with loss. Is it easier to run away? To let go? Everything Is Water leaves the reader suspended, treading water alongside the speaker as she seeks to answer these questions.

A Dantean journey through America

American Experiment

A Poem

Aaron Baker

In American Experiment, Aaron Baker embarks on a harrowing odyssey through the depths of the American subconscious. Guided by the spirit of Walt Whitman (a character of somewhat suspect motives in this iteration), Baker’s Dantean journey leads him through an ever more perilous underworld of American histories, myths, and mythmakers. Chronicling the pair’s transcontinental passage from west to east (a kind of reverse Manifest Destiny), Baker o ers a radical reimagining of Whitman’s legacy, American poetry, and the role of the poet while inviting us to confront echoes of the nation’s past and the enduring complexities of its present. With formal innovations that mirror the uidity of Whitman’s verse, Baker adds qualities of verbal subtlety and formal nimbleness perhaps more typical of Whitman’s then mostly unknown contemporary, Emily Dickinson. American Experiment o ers both narrative sweep and lyrical intensity, engaging deeply with literary history while relentlessly pushing the boundaries of poetic technique and form. is journey through hell is also a sustained meditation on the soul of America.

Number Forty-two: 21st Century Poets

AARON BAKER is the author of two award-winning collections of poems: Mission Work (Houghton Mi in), which won both the Katherine Bakeless Prize in Poetry and the Shenandoah/Glasgow Prize for Emerging Writers, and Posthumous Noon (Gunpowder Press), winner of the Barry Spacks Poetry Prize. He teaches in the creative writing program at Loyola University Chicago.

“American Experiment is a big book. And it arrives as if in response to a desperate situation—it arrives as we Americans are losing our sense of who we are, and who we have aspired to be.”—Shane McCrae

“ Baker’s poet reanimates pivotal inflection points from the Revolutionary War, to the Alamo, to the Great Chicago Fire, to the Covid pandemic. This is no epic, aiming to assert a unifying national identity, but a poem that works to unravel the American mythos.”

Is Is Enough

Poems

Lauren Camp

Is Is Enough begins in heritage and harmony then breaks apart into the strange world and tautly stretched emotions that accompany dementia. e collection ickers through and locates in distorted realities, loss, and gentling. By haunting the past, the author reweaves and reorients against a continual vanishing. Ordinary situations begin to seem like joy in reverse, a treatise on the honesty of the present.

Number Forty-three: 21st Century Poets

LAUREN CAMP is the author of eight previous collections, including In Old Sky (Grand Canyon Conservancy, 2024), which grew out of her experience as Astronomer-in-Residence at Grand Canyon National Park.

Honors include fellowships from the Academy of American Poets and Black Earth Institute, a Dorset Prize, a Glenna Luschei Award from Prairie Schooner, and nalist citations for the Arab American Book Award and Adrienne Rich Award. Her poems have been translated into Mandarin, Turkish, Spanish, French, and Arabic.

“ Lauren Camp has the perfect touch. Her precise, exquisitely tuned poems lean us into scenes and understandings that feel both riveting and enduring...her poems deepen the world.”—Naomi Shihab Nye

“Lauren Camp’s new book is a stubborn testimonial to existence, to the sufficiency of life as it is in all its messy dailiness. I am moved by the speaker’s central struggle, which is her desperate attempt to hold onto and let go of her beloved father who held on even as he lost his memory, his history, himself. Is Is Enough is a tenacious elegyin-the-making, a book of being standing against nothingness.”—Edward Hirsch

Holy the Body Poems

Donovan McAbee

Holy the Body wrestles with ghosts and shadows, discovers Mother Teresa in a cinnamon bun in Nashville, Tennessee and Jesus’s tears in a trick of light. At once dark and humorous, these poems confront the religiosity of the US and explore the experience of faithful doubt, as God himself “goes under the knife.” e poems in this manuscript take the reader through the brutalities of the author losing his mother to melanoma and of resuscitating his own father, with “the cracking of sternum beneath my hands.” e collection chisels out a hard-earned language for the sacred, one which proclaims that the beauty we nd in the midst of uncertainties is itself a solace that, as one of the nal poems in the manuscript a rms, “is more than enough.”

Number Forty-four: 21st Century Poets

DONOVAN McABEE is a poet, songwriter, and essayist. His work has appeared in e New York Times, TIME, e Sun, e Poetry Review, Poetry London, and a variety of other places.

“ [E]xquisitely funny and magically solemn . . . The best words are found in this book in your hands.”—Major Jackson, author of Razzle Dazzle

“ [S]pirited and tender . . . These are poems of deep humor and pathos, exploring an embodied pilgrim’s journey through faith and its faithful companion, doubt.” —Philip Metres, author of Fugitive/Refuge

Praise for Distributary

“ What’s the sound of a voice wanting to help/but trapped inside the nets of helping? A man who knows loss like he knows rage, a first skin? In Distributary, Luke Johnson speaks that voice in thick and throbbing language, in lines where sound drives desire into burning. Between frenzy and a brick wall, we find that ‘. . . loss is a crater / where the living reside.’ But we also find pleasure, as Johnson washes us in love, even through the bullets of loss—with water rushing over us and through, over us and through—in these stunning, eloquent poems.” Jan Beatty, author of Dragstripping

The Wonder Years

Arian Katsimbras

Fire Ants

Literary Essays

Cason E. O’Banion

e Wonder Years is a book made from wreckage. And with materials unceasingly sharp and surprising, Katsimbras creates a language of “clean brutality.” In these pages, we see the droughtwracked West decay into a coyote’s rib bones, this animal split into ribbons and tied around nightfall. Families are torn and torn apart, a marriage cracks, relationships fail, and “in the spaces between all the names for empty that will never ll,” the magic here is the feat of existence amid so many disappearing acts. ough un inching in their examination of hurt, Katsimbras’ poems are erce with protection and love. e relationship between father and son is a rebellion against history—a promise in ink and blood to sever a cycle of paternal harm, to be a true light, even if just a single bare bulb, shining against the coming dark.

at’s your rst lesson in East Texas-where words stretch like summer days and stories run deeper than the Red River itself. In Fire Ants, O’Banion delivers a wi y, unvarnished portrait of growing up in that forgo en corner of the map where Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana blur together-Texarkana, the town that can’t quite decide which state it belongs to, or if it even wants to.

What began as a detour from a stalled novel became a vibrant, darkly funny, and deeply human collection about small-town oddities, family legacies, fried turkeys gone wrong, four-wheeler ips dubbed “903ers,” and the peculiar beauty of a place that exists halfway between myth and memory.

From chicken magnates to high school beauty queens, from ER nurses to backyard philosophers, the voices in Fire Ants hum with regional humor, contradiction, and tenderness.

A True Story of Loss, Legacy, and What It Means to Never Give Up

Play Like He Would Heath Hamrick

On a crisp October night in 1999, the Bremond Tigers took the eld in Milano, Texas, carrying the hopes of their small town. en, in a single devastating moment, 16-year-old Jason Yancy collapsed and died of an undiagnosed heart condition, leaving his teammates, coaches, and community sha ered.

Play Like He Would tells the unforge able true story of how a group of teenage boys and their coach, Jerry “Slugger” Hamrick, found the strength to continue a er tragedy struck at the heart of their team. Jason wasn’t just another player—he was the soul of the Tigers, a kid without a mean heart who li ed everyone around him with his infectious smile and unwavering determination.

Author Heath Hamrick, the coach’s son who witnessed that terrible night, draws from extensive interviews conducted shortly a er Jason’s death to reconstruct the raw emotions and di cult decisions that followed. From the locker room, where Jason’s helmet still hangs, to the cemetery where teammates le their own tribute, this is a story about more than football—it’s about how we face the unthinkable and nd ways to honor those we’ve lost.

Set against the backdrop of Texas high school football, where Friday night lights illuminate both triumph and heartbreak, this deeply personal memoir explores themes that resonate far beyond the gridiron: How do we handle loss? How do we move forward when life takes something precious from us? And what does it truly mean to live up to someone’s memory?

With its un inching honesty about grief and its celebration of resilience, Play Like He Would reveals how Jason’s legacy became a rallying cry that sustained his teammates through championship seasons and personal struggles. Some stories are about winning; this one is about something far more important—learning how to keep playing when the game itself seems lost.

Heath Hamrick was born in Pasadena, Texas, into a third-generation coaching family. A lifelong educator, Heath occasionally has time to dress up as a historical gure to produce videos as “Heath the History Guy” on YouTube. He is the co-author of Worse an You ink: e Mostly True Story Of Two Teachers Running For Congress Deep In e Heart Of Texas for TCU Press.

A terrifying alternative history that nearly happened

Dark Texas

Charles Petrie Jr.

What happens when the grid goes down—and it’s not coming back up anytime soon?

In a chillingly realistic tale inspired by actual events, Dark Texas unfolds the moment when a brutal winter storm overwhelms the Lone Star State, triggering a cascading failure of its energy infrastructure. As oil and gas wellheads freeze, wind turbines seize, and the power grid buckles under the pressure, ordinary people must navigate extraordinary circumstances.

Mac is a retired teacher with a wood stove, solar panels, and an old diesel generator—and just enough grit to outlast the cold. Laurie, a straight-talking yoga teacher and educator, believes in preparedness and love in equal measure, but even she can’t predict what’s coming. Jake, newly widowed and raising a toddler, faces his greatest test yet as supplies dwindle and systems fail. And Chas, a young analyst at a local power company, begins to see the truth behind Texas’s fragile energy market—and what happens when the free market can’t keep the lights on.

Across cities and elds slick with ice, these characters confront not only freezing weather but the deeper question: What holds a civilization together when modern conveniences unravel overnight?

With evocative prose and a quiet urgency, Dark Texas blends intimate character-driven storytelling with real-world insight into energy, policy, and resilience. is isn’t just a disaster novel—it’s a wake-up call.

Dark Texas is ideal for readers who devoured books like Station Eleven, e Road, or One Second A er. It’s a gripping portrait of interconnection, vulnerability, and the many kinds of strength that icker to life when the grid goes dark.

Charles Petrie Jr. holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from UT Austin and is retired from Stanford University where he had been an Associate Professor and Senior Research Scientist. He then built an o -grid home on his property in Texas. He also did consulting and guest professorships in Europe until the pandemic. In addition, he worked at Burning Man, retiring as manager of their airport. Now he lives with his new pit bull pup, Toby, in the woods, occasionally venturing to travel back to California and Germany where he keeps motorcycles and friends. Dark Texas is his rst novel.
