Classic stories by a major writer of the modern West.

Walter Van Tilburg Clark, according to critic John R. Milton, "did perhaps more than anyone else to define (in his fiction) the mode of perception, the acquisition of knowledge, and the style which we tend to call Western " In 1950, Clark, author of the acclaimed novel The Ox-Bow Incident—published a collection of short stories that had already won distinction in various national magazines. The collection—Clark's only published volume of short fiction—was well received by reviewers, and subsequent critics have noted that these stories reflect both Clark's literary power and the major concerns of his novels: the interior and intuitive complexities of good and evil, and the fragile, intricate web that connects humankind to the rest of the natural world.

This new paperback edition—which includes "Hook," Clark's most renowned story—makes these remarkable pieces available again to a new generation of readers. A foreword by Ann Ronald sets the stories into the context of Clark's oeuvre and career and illuminates the way they reveal crucial characteristics of this complicated writer's imagination. Clark remains one of the West's most significant writers, among the first to explore the complicated interactions between humankind and the West's vast and often haunted landscape. The stories in The Watchful Gods will offer contemporary readers fresh insight into Clark's unique genius..

These poems are a contemporary expression of the Hebrew Psalms: 150 songs to life and to that which creates life. These are songs about Love, wherever and however it is found; of the sorrow we know when it feels love has abandoned us; and the elation when what we had lost is found.

As the Psalmists asked God to help them look within, so these verses ask us to search our lives and find the inner source of our discontent. As the Psalmists looked to creation's handiwork around them for imagery, so these are songs of the life around us—right here and right now. These are poems about being human in a world view that promises more.

These are texts to share with friends and lovers, with parents and adult children, with therapists and those in therapy, with people in recovery..
