NOTE THAT SINCE THE BOOK WEIGHS OVER ONE POUND, THERE MAY BE ADDITIONAL SHIPPING CHARGES IF YOU REQUIRE PRIORITY MAIL OR LIVE OUTSIDE THE USA.XX [from the introduction]This anthology would probably have appeared this year, even were this year not a birthday [Bicentennial of the United States]. The groundswell of writing and publishing in Texas has something of the nature of winter oats, the blades breaking the ground even where there is yet frost. Particular thanks need to go to Dave Oliphant, one of the first -- out of Fort Worth -- who saw the quality of the poetry being done by Texans and set some of it down in his fine anthology, The New Breed. Nearly all of the poets gathered here were born and raised in Texas. A few are married to Texans and have spent enough time in the state to have had their souls forever baptized by what Grady Helman says is the call of Texas rivers. What do you call such a gathering of Texas poetry -- from the Plains, from the cities, from the Hill Country, the pine country , the South Coast . Curiously the French and Indian cultures, both of which lie more in the past, furnish the strongest words for the wilderness of the Texas mind these writers are crossing. Joanie?s title, which won out, Travois (the sled pulled first by the Comanche's dogs, and later by their horses, which they called the dog-god), that beautiful French word which conveys all the pain of traveling, the picking up stakes and moving on, and still deeper -- the travail of life, the carrying across from one culture to another, the handing down from parent to child, that the wisdom gained from life to live life might not perish in the face of death.
