DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Georgia has played a formative role in the writing of America. Few states have produced a more impressive array of literary figures, among them Conrad Aiken, Erskine Caldwell, James Dickey, Joel Chandler Harris, Carson McCullers, Flannery O'Connor, Jean Toomer, and Alice Walker. This volume contains biographical and critical discussions of Georgia writers from the nineteenth century to the present as well as other information pertinent to Georgia literature. Organized in alphabetical order by author, the entries discuss each author's life and work, contributions to Georgia history and culture, and relevance to wider currents in regional and national literature. Lists of recommended readings supplement most entries. Especially important Georgia books have their own entries: works of social significance such as Lillian Smith's Strange Fruit, international publishing sensations like Margaret Mitchell's Gone With the Wind, and crowning artistic achievements including Jean Toomer's Cane. The literary culture of the state is also covered, with information on the Georgia Review and other journals; the Georgia Center for the Book, which promotes authors and reading; and the Townsend Prize, given in recognition of the year's best fiction. This is an essential volume for readers who want both to celebrate and learn more about Georgia's literary heritage.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →In this groundbreaking study, Kathaleen E. Amende explores the works and lives of late-twentieth-century southern women writers to show how conservative Christian ideals of femininity shaped notions of religion, sexuality, and power in the South. Drawing from the work of authors such as Rosemary Daniell and Connie May Fowler, whose characters -- like the authors themselves -- grow up believing that Jesus should be a girl's first "boyfriend," Amende demonstrates many ways in which these writers commingled the sexual and the sacred. Amende also looks at the writings of Lee Smith, Sheri Reynolds, Dorothy Allison, and Valerie Martin to discuss how southern women authors and their characters grappled with opposing cultural expectations. Often in their work, characters mingle spiritual devotion and carnal love, allowing for salvation despite rejecting traditional roles or behaviors. In Martin's A Recent Martyr, novitiate Claire disavows southern norms of femininity -- courtship, marriage, and motherhood -- but submits to Jesus as she would to a husband. Teenage protagonist Ninah Huff in Reynolds's Rapture of Canaan imagines that her out-of-wedlock child is the offspring of Christ because of her conviction that Jesus was present during conception. Grounded in cultural and gender studies and informed by historical, religious, and devotional literature, Amende's timely and accessible book demonstrates the tenuous divide between feminine sexuality and Christianity in a southern context.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →In Spilled Words, the newest addition to Cici. B's growing list of raw and profound written works, she delivers a filterless snapshot of her love, pain, growth and resolve. Her trademark wittiness seamlessly blends with a familiar approach yet entirely new format to her writing. It is a story unlike any other in that it is made up entirely of quotes, but still somehow paints a beautiful and complete picture. If actions speak louder than words, her latest piece shows that she not only lives and breathes her words, she bleeds them, and spills them unapologetically onto the page.

Guided by a powerful dream in which her dead father appears to her as a teacher, she comes to recognize the walls of illusion that separate us from who we really are. This beautifully written memoir is both a story about courageous people and a spiritual revelation: that death is a return to love without barriers.
