About This Item
Story Line Press, 2001. First Printing, Ex-Library. Trade Paperback. Very Good. Nice book! One spine crease & mild shelf wear on brown cover. Library stamps on edge & endpage, no markings in text. From Library Journal: In this companion to Warloe's From Daughters to Mothers: I've Always Meant To Tell You (Pocket, 1998. reprint), a variety of writers, from minor poets to established novelists, were asked to write imaginary letters to their fathers, saying what they wanted to but never did during their lives together. The writers represented include Rita Mae Brown, Nicholas Delbanco, and Naomi Shihab Nye. As with many such ventures, the result is a mixed bag, with some pieces crafted more finely than others. The fathers, however, are rendered realistically, whether they are alcoholics or state senators. Through the letters, a generation of immigrants and survivors of the Depression is remembered with heartfelt emotion. Joyce Carol Oates, for example, suddenly realizes, You should be me."""" But her father did not have the chance to become a scholar/teacher because he had to work in factories and odd jobs. Although not an essential purchase, this anthology might be useful for writing groups or classes. Notes for such groups are included at the end. Public libraries and community college libraries in particular might consider this title. Nancy P. Shires, East Carolina Univ., Greenville, NC Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc."""" """"Book Description: A touching book that reaffirms the important bond between father and child. In an age of Kiss-And-Tell-All, isn't it strange that so many have so much trouble expressing what is most enduring, and most true, to those who brought us into this world? This companion book to From Daughters to Mothers: I've Always Meant to Tell You, which sold 15,000 copies in hardback, and has been in print in paper since 1998, includes letters and poems to fathers from 83 of our greatest writers. Timely for Father's Day, for every day. Contributors Include: Marvin Bell, Rita Mae Brown, Judith Ortiz Cofer, Wanda Coleman, Nicholas Delbanco, Leslie Fiedler, Annie Finch, Lynn Freed, Joy Harjo, Lola Haskins, Garrett Hongo, James D. Houston, E. Ethelbert Miller, Naomi Shihab Nye, Joyce Carol Oates, Carole Simmons Oles, Linda Pastan, Greg Sarris, Alma Luz Villanueva, Mary Zeppa.""""
