ON THE COVER: “Handsome instrument with
an unusual five-piece oak top,” from True Faith,
True Light: The Devotional Art of Ed Stilly (page
2). The owner of this guitar told of Ed Stilley’s
reply when asked how he shaped the wood. “He
told me, ‘I boil the wood ’til it’s soft and try to
bend it, and if it starts to break, well that’s where I
stop.’” The guitar’s internal construction includes
springs and a pot lid.

REMEMBERING MILLER WILLIAMS (April 8, 1930–January 1, 2015)
Although I’d stumbled along as a poet for almost twenty years by
the time I attended a 1979 writers conference in Little Rock, my real
career in poetry began that summer day on a bumpy station-wagon
ride with Miller Williams and Jim Whitehead. I had just heard their
dazzling talks about poetry, we were in transit to some conference
event, and by the time our ten-minute chat was over, I’d decided to
apply for the MFA in creative writing program at the University of
Arkansas.
Miller became my advisor and teacher, then my editor and mentor, then, after I graduated from the program, a close friend. He and
his wife, Jordan, and I and my husband, Charles, spent many an hour
in the Williamses’ sunroom, discussing Ciardi or Yeats or the reasons
pickup trucks are displayed on Arkansas front yards. It was a professional and personal relationship that was to last thirty-five years, until
his death.
Miller was a marvelous poet of international renown, a genius
teacher, and a dedicated writer. Once, while an MFA student, I asked
Miller if he planned to attend a university play that evening. “No,” he
said. “When I’m not teaching, I’m writing.” That day I learned about
discipline and focus.
Miller was a workhorse, as noted in his New York Times obituary.
I was present when he started the University of Arkansas Press from
the MFA lounge in what is now Kimpel Hall, with a makeshift desk, a
part-time secretary, and tireless zeal.
He was a gentleman—courteous, witty, with a thaw-an-igloo
smile. And he was self-deprecating. He would often say, after expounding on poetry or life, “Well, that was nothing you asked and more than
you wanted to know.” It was, of course, never more than I wanted to
know.
One of his top admonitions about writing poetry was, “Cut the
fat—the bones are what last.” He also believed that poetry should
appeal to “squirrel hunters as well as professors,” having somewhere
in it “the smell of the possum.” He abhorred the obtuse, noting that
a poem should be readable—“clear and mysterious at the same time.”
He wrote poems of great depth, irony, and heartbreak, as in
“Showing Late Symptoms She First Tries to Fix Herself in the Minds
of Her Children,” but he could also laugh at himself in his poems.
Philip Martin in his brilliant essay-obituary of Miller in the Arkansas
Democrat-Gazette, quotes from a Williams poem, “My Wife Reads the
Paper at Breakfast on the Birthday of the Scottish Poet”: “Poet Burns
to Be Honored, the headline read. / She put it down. ‘They found you
out,’ she said.”
I can only imagine that Miller had in mind Jordan and his own
breakfast table when he wrote the poem. Whether or no, it is my
privilege to have known the man and the poet, to continue to count
his beautiful and caring wife as my friend, and to have sat a few times
at that table.

FICTION
Mourner’s Bench
A Novel
S A N D E R I A FAY E
Religion, race, and family in 1960s Arkansas
“Brilliantly written, Mourner’s Bench takes the reader back to 1960s smalltown Arkansas and tells a story about the public, and private, ways that
black and white people worked for or resisted change. A powerful, brilliant book.”
—VIVIENNE SCHIFFER, author of Camp Nine: A Novel
At the First Baptist Church of Maeby, Arkansas, the sins of the child
belonged to the parents until the child turned thirteen. Sarah Jones was
only eight years old in the summer of 1964, but with her mother Esther
Mae on eight prayer lists and flipping around town with the generally
mistrusted civil rights organizers, Sarah believed it was time to get baptized and take responsibility for her own sins. That would mean sitting
on the mourner’s bench come revival, waiting for her sign, and then
testifying in front of the whole church.
But first, Sarah would need to navigate the growing tensions of
small-town Arkansas in the 1960s. Both smarter and more serious than
her years (a “fifty-year-old mind in an eight-year-old body,” according
to Esther), Sarah was torn between the traditions, religion, and work
ethic of her community and the progressive civil rights and feminist
politics of her mother, who had recently returned from art school in
Chicago. When organizers from the Student Non-Violent Coordinating
Committee (SNCC) came to town just as the revival was beginning,
Sarah couldn’t help but be caught up in the turmoil. Most folks just
wanted to keep the peace, and Reverend Jefferson called the SNCC organizers “the evil among us.” But her mother, along with local civil rights
activist Carrie Dilworth, the SNCC organizers, Daisy Bates, attorney
John Walker, and indeed most of the country, seemed determined to
push Maeby toward integration.
With characters as vibrant and evocative as their setting, Mourner’s
Bench is the story of a young girl coming to terms with religion, racism,
and feminism while also navigating the terrain of early adolescence and
trying to settle into her place in her family and community.
SANDERIA FAYE is a PhD candidate at the University of Texas, Dallas. She
received an MFA from Arizona State University and a BS from the University
of Arkansas, Pine Bluff. She is co-founder of Kimbilio Fiction, a Community
of Writers of the African Diaspora. Mourner’s Bench is her first novel.

FAITH / ART
True Faith, True Light
The Devotional Art of Ed Stilley
K E L LY M U L H O L L A N
PHOTOGRAPHY BY KIRK LANIER
INTRODUCTION BY ROBERT COCHRAN
One-of-a-kind instruments from another time
In 1979, Ed Stilley was leading a simple life as a farmer and singer of
religious hymns in Hogscald Hollow, a tiny Ozark community south of
Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Life was filled with hard work and making do
for Ed, his wife Eliza, and their five children, who lived in many ways as
if the second half of the twentieth century had never happened.
But one day Ed’s life was permanently altered. While plowing his
field, he became convinced he was having a heart attack. Ed stopped his
work and lay down on the ground. Staring at the sky, he saw himself as
a large tortoise struggling to swim across a river. On his back were five
small tortoises—his children—clinging to him for survival. And then, as
he lay there in the freshly plowed dirt, Ed received a vision from God,
telling him that he would be restored to health if he would agree to do
one thing: make musical instruments and give them to children.
And so he did. Beginning with a few simple hand tools, Ed worked
tirelessly for twenty-five years to create over two hundred instruments,
each a crazy quilt of heavy, rough-sawn wood scraps joined with found
objects. A rusty door hinge, a steak bone, a stack of dimes, springs, saw
blades, pot lids, metal pipes, glass bottles, aerosol cans—Ed used anything he could to build a working guitar, fiddle, or dulcimer. On each
instrument Ed inscribed “True Faith, True Light, Have Faith in God.”
True Faith, True Light: The Devotional Art of Ed Stilley documents Ed
Stilley’s life and work, giving us a glimpse into a singular life of austere
devotion.
KELLY MULHOLLAN is a longtime musician and founding member of
the award-winning band Still on the Hill. He is also a journeyman-level carpenter, and Ed Stilley’s friend of many years. KIRK LANIER is a lifelong
musician and photographer who lives in Fayetteville, Arkansas. ROBERT

Defining the Delta
Multidisciplinary Perspectives on the Lower
Mississippi River Delta
EDITED BY JANELLE COLLINS
Multiple ways of looking at the seven-state region bisected
by the Mississippi River
Inspired by the Arkansas Review’s “What Is the Delta?” series of articles,
Defining the Delta collects fifteen essays from scholars in the sciences,
social sciences, and humanities to describe and define this important
region.
Here are essays examining the Delta’s physical properties, boundaries, and climate from a geologist, archeologist, and environmental historian. The Delta is also viewed through the lens of the social sciences and
humanities—historians, folklorists, and others studying the connection
between the land and its people, in particular the importance of agriculture and the culture of the area, especially music, literature, and food.
Every turn of the page reveals another way of seeing the seven-state
region that is bisected by and dependent on the Mississippi River, suggesting ultimately that there are myriad ways of looking at, and defining,
the Delta.
JANELLE M. COLLINS was general editor of Arkansas Review: A Journal of
Delta Studies from 2009 to 2013. She is chair of the Department of English
and Philosophy at Arkansas State University, where she teaches courses in
African American and multi-ethnic American literature.

CIVIL WAR • THE CIVIL WAR IN THE WEST SERIES
Slavery and Secession in
Arkansas
A Documentary History
EDITED BY JAMES J. GIGANTINO II
Firsthand accounts of Arkansas’s secession from the Union
The absorbing documents collected in Slavery and Secession in Arkansas
trace Arkansas’s tortuous road to secession and war. Drawn from contemporary pamphlets, broadsides, legislative debates, public addresses,
newspapers, and private correspondence, these accounts show the
intricate twists and turns of the political drama in Arkansas between
early 1859 and the summer of 1861. From an early warning of what
Republican political dominance would mean for the South, through the
initial rejection of secession, to Arkansas’s final abandonment of the
Union, readers, even while knowing the eventual outcome, will find the
journey both suspenseful and informative.
Revealing both the unique features of the secession story in Arkansas
and the issues that Arkansas shared with much of the rest of the South,
this collection illustrates how Arkansans debated their place in the nation
and, specifically, how the defense of slavery—as both an assurance of
continued economic progress and a means of social control—remained
central to the decision to leave the Union and fight alongside much of
the South for four bloody years of civil war.

Dethroning the Deceitful Pork
Chop
Rethinking African American Foodways from
Slavery to Obama
E D I T E D B Y J E N N I F E R J E N S E N WA L L A C H
FOREWORD BY PSYCHE WILLIAMS-FORSON
AFTERWORD BY REBECCA SHARPLESS
Resisting a singular interpretation of black food culture
“Dethroning the Deceitful Pork Chop formally marks the coming of age
of African American culinary studies. The work amply proves that it is
a very real academic discipline with range and rigor. As one who was
around at its birth, I’ve got to say after examining the essays included
that the youngster looks very healthy indeed. Bravi Tutti!”
—JESSICA HARRIS, author of High on the Hog: A Culinary Journey from
Africa to America
The fifteen essays collected in Dethroning the Deceitful Pork Chop utilize a
wide variety of methodological perspectives to explore African American
food expressions from slavery up through the present. The volume offers
fresh insights into a growing field beginning to reach maturity. The contributors demonstrate that throughout time black people have used food
practices as a means of overtly resisting white oppression—through
techniques like poison, theft, deception, and magic—or more subtly as
a way of asserting humanity and ingenuity, revealing both cultural continuity and improvisational finesse. Collectively, the authors complicate
generalizations that conflate African American food culture with southern-derived soul food and challenge the tenacious hold that stereotypical
black cooks like Aunt Jemima and the depersonalized Mammy have on
the American imagination. They survey the abundant but still understudied archives of black food history and establish an ongoing research
agenda that should animate American food culture scholarship for years
to come.

Frank Merriwell and the
Fiction of All-American
Boyhood
The Progressive Era Creation of the Schoolboy
Sports Story
R YA N K . A N D E R S O N
A fictional character representing ideal boyhood
“Sheds new light on a crucial popular-culture phenomenon. Anderson’s
book will be essential for readers interested in sport literature, cultural
theory, and gender studies.”
—TIM MORRIS, author of Making the Team
Gilbert Patten, writing as Burt L. Standish, made a career of generating
serialized twenty-thousand-word stories featuring his fictional creation
Frank Merriwell, a student athlete at Yale University who inspired others to emulate his example of manly boyhood. Patten and his publisher,
Street and Smith, initially had only a general idea about what would
constitute Merriwell’s adventures and who would want to read about
them when they introduced the hero in the dime novel Tip Top Weekly in
1896, but over the years what took shape was a story line that capitalized
on middle-class fears about the insidious influence of modern life on the
nation’s boys.
Merriwell came to symbolize the Progressive Era debate about how
sport and school made boys into men. The saga featured the attractive
Merriwell distinguishing between “good” and “bad” girls and focused on
his squeaky-clean adventures in physical development and mentorship.
By the serial’s conclusion, Merriwell had opened a school for “weak and
wayward boys” that made him into a figure who taught readers how to
approximate his example.
In Frank Merriwell and the Fiction of All-American Boyhood, Anderson
treats Tip Top Weekly as a historical artifact, supplementing his reading
of its text, illustrations, reader letters, and advertisements with his use
of editorial correspondence, memoirs, trade journals, and legal documents. Anderson blends social and cultural history, with the history of
business, gender, and sport, along with a general examination of childhood and youth in this fascinating study of how a fictional character was
used to promote a homogeneous “normal” American boyhood rooted
in an assumed pecking order of class, race, and gender.

DC Sports
The Nation’s Capital at Play
EDITED BY CHRIS ELZEY AND
D AV I D K . W I G G I N S
What sports have meant to generations of Washingtonians
“Scholars Chris Elzey and David K. Wiggins demonstrate a fine eye for
stories as well as an instinct for what is important. The book has something for everyone.”
—RANDY ROBERTS, author of A Team for America and Rising Tide
Washington, DC, is best known for its politics and monuments, but
sport has always been an integral part of the city, and Washingtonians
are among the country’s most avid sports fans. DC Sports gathers seventeen essays examining the history of sport in the nation’s capital, from
turn-of-the-century venues such as the White Lot, Griffith Stadium, and
DC Memorial Stadium to Howard-Lincoln Thanksgiving Day football
games of the roaring twenties; from the surprising season of the 1969
Washington Senators to the success of Georgetown basketball during
the 1980s. This collection covers the field, including public recreation,
high-school athletics, intercollegiate athletics, professional sports, sports
journalism, and sports promotion.
A southern city at heart, Washington drew a strong color line in
every facet of people’s lives. Race informed how sport was played, written about, and watched in the city. In 1962, the Redskins became the
final National Football League team to integrate. That same year, a race
riot marred the city’s high-school championship game in football. A
generation later, race as an issue resurfaced after Georgetown’s African
American head coach John Thompson Jr. led the Hoyas to national
prominence in basketball.
DC Sports takes a hard look at how sports in one city has shaped culture and history, and how culture and history inform sports. This informative and engaging collection will appeal to fans and students of sports
and those interested in the rich history of the nation’s capital.
CHRIS ELZEY teaches in the History and Art History Department at George

A Hurting Sport
An Inside Look at Another Year in Boxing
THOMAS HAUSER
From Pacquiao-Bradley 2 to HBO and TMZ
“No one has ever done it better.”
—The Ring
A Hurting Sport marks the tenth annual volume of Thomas Hauser’s boxing articles to be published by the University of Arkansas Press. Every
year, readers, sportswriters, and critics alike look forward to these collections. In 2014, Booklist observed, “This annual series detailing the year in
boxing should be a highlight, not only for fans of the sport but also for
those who appreciate journalistic acumen and stylish prose.”
Other sportswriters have called Hauser “the dean of fightwriters”
(TheSweetScience.com) and “our craft’s most celebrated practitioner”
(15Rounds.com). His readers call him one of the last real champions in
boxing and one of the very best who has ever written about this sport.
A Hurting Sport continues this tradition of excellence with a
behind-the-scenes recounting of 2014’s biggest fights, a look at Floyd
Mayweather’s conduct in and out of the ring, analysis of fight impresario Al Haymon’s burgeoning empire, and much more.
THOMAS HAUSER is the author of many books. His first work,
Missing, was made into an Academy Award–winning film. He later
authored Muhammad Ali: His Life and Times, the definitive biography of
the most famous fighter ever. In 2004, the Boxing Writers Association

The Rise to Respectability
Race, Religion, and the Church of God in Christ
C A LV I N W H I T E
Comprehensive history of COGIC
“An indispensable work in African American
religious history . . . essential.”
—Choice
“Contributes significantly to American religious
history and should be on undergraduate syllabi
everywhere.”
—Journal of American History
“Provides a thoughtful, well-researched, and engaging narrative that
moves COGIC from the margins to the center of African American religious history.”
—Journal of Southern History
“A fine, much-needed book based on impressive original research. . . . ”
—America Historical Review
The Rise to Respectability documents the history of the Church of God
in Christ (COGIC) and examines its cultural and religious impact on
African Americans and on the history of the South. It explores the ways
in which Charles Harrison Mason, the son of slaves and founder of
COGIC, embraced a Pentecostal faith that celebrated the charismatic
forms of religious expression that many blacks had come to view as
outdated, unsophisticated, and embarrassing.
While examining the intersection of race, religion, and class, The
Rise to Respectability details how the denomination dealt with the stringent standard of bourgeois behavior imposed on churchgoers as they
moved from southern rural areas into the urban centers in both the
South and North.
Rooted in the hardships of slavery and coming of age during Jim
Crow, COGIC’s story is more than a religious debate. Rather, this book
sees the history of the church as interwoven with the Great Migration,
class tension, racial animosity, and the struggle for modernity—all representative parts of the African American experience.

Dutch Ovens Chronicled
Their Use in the United States
JOHN G. RAGSDALE
History of the development, care, and use of these essential
outdoor cooking vessels
When a significant number of Americans had to prepare meals in the out of
doors—colonists, pioneers moving west, cowboys working the range, or sheep
herders—they needed something portable to cook their food in. Iron casters
filled that need by turning out various pots, pans, and ovens to be carried to cabins, campfires, wagon trains, and camping trails. One such vessel was the Dutch
oven, which had been in use for generations.
Dutch Ovens Chronicled offers a history of the development, care, and use of
these ovens, complete with photos and recipes. This authoritative, informative,
and eminently readable guide will be appreciated by outdoor enthusiasts, antiquarians, and history buffs alike.

Stories of Survival
Arkansas Farmers during the Great Depression
WILLIAM DOWNS JR.
How ordinary families endured natural and economic disaster
Through dozens of in-depth interviews representing all sections of the state,
farm families recall their best times, their worst times, and day-to-day experiences such as chores, washing, bathing, clothes making, medical care, home
remedies, spiritual life, courtship and marriage, and school experiences. Their
stories reveal how ordinary men and women, frequently living in abject poverty,
endured cataclysmic natural disasters and economic collapse with extraordinary
courage, faith, resourcefulness, and a good sense of humor.
WILLIAM D. DOWNS JR. is professor emeritus of mass communications at
Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia, Arkansas, where he served as chair of
the department for more than forty years. A graduate of the University of Arkansas
in Fayetteville, he also received MA and PhD degrees from the University of

Best Little Town
A Brief History of Tuckerman, Arkansas
WAY N E B O Y C E
FOREWORD BY MORRIS S. ARNOLD
A developmental history of a small town in Middle America
“Jackson County, where I was born, is the home of Tuckerman, Arkansas,
a special place endowed with an abundance of diverse history. And my
friend Wayne Boyce has done a thorough job of making this history
come to life through his determination to put his research efforts and
memories on paper. Aptly named Best Little Town, Boyce’s book details
Tuckerman’s past and includes everything from the people who have
populated the area to the physical, economic, and political events that
have shaped this part of our state. Best Little Town will bring hours of
discovery for people of all ages.”
—MIKE BEEBE, governor of Arkansas, 2007–2015
“This is rich history. Wayne Boyce gives us a snapshot of a small Arkansas
farming town. The writing is superb and the research is meticulous.
Here is everything you want to know about outdoor privies, slow-moving sloughs, and horse-driven cotton gins, all nudged along into a very
satisfying present.”
—ROY REED, former New York Times reporter and
author of Beware of Limbo Dancers
WAYNE BOYCE was born in Tuckerman, Arkansas, in 1926. He earned
a BA from the University of Arkansas and a JD from the University of
Arkansas School of Law School, where he later taught and founded the
legal clinic. Since retiring from the practice of law, Boyce has been pursuing
two other lifelong interests: history and writing. MORRIS S. ARNOLD is
a former judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Eight Circuit
and the author of Rumble of a Distant Drum: The Quapaws and the Old World
Newcomers, 1673–1804.

Arkansas Women and the
Right to Vote
The Little Rock Campaigns: 1868–1920
BERNADETTE CAHILL
Crucial work in Little Rock helped win the vote
Women from all over Arkansas—left out of the civil rights granted by
the post–Civil War Reconstruction Amendments—took part in a long
struggle to gain the primary civil right of American citizens: voting. The
state’s capital city of Little Rock served as the focal point not only for
suffrage work in Arkansas, but also for the state’s contribution to the
nationwide nonviolent campaign for women’s suffrage that reached its
climax between 1913 and 1920. Based on original research, Cahill’s book
relates the history of some of those who contributed to this victorious
struggle, reveals long-forgotten photographs, includes a map of the locations of meetings and rallies, and provides a list of Arkansas suffragists
who helped ensure that discrimination could no longer exclude women
from participation in the political life of the state and nation.
BERNADETTE CAHILL is an independent scholar who has authored several books on travel and history, including extensive writing about women’s
suffrage. Born in Scotland, Cahill holds an MA Honors in medieval and modern history from the University of Glasgow.

It’s Official!
The Real Stories behind Arkansas’s State Symbols
D AV I D WA R E
The state of Arkansas explained in one flag, four songs, and
a handful of symbols
Since Arkansas’s creation as an independent territory in 1819, its legislature has officially designated a wide assortment of symbols. Some of
these refer to economic mainstays while others attest to the aspirations
of those who saw a bright future for their extensive and varied community. This volume’s essays examine each of Arkansas’s officially designated symbols, outlining their genesis, their significance at the time of
their adoption, and their place in modern Arkansas. Combining political
narratives, natural history, and the occasional “shaggy dog” story, Ware
makes a case for considering the symbols as useful keys to understanding both the Arkansas that has been and the one it hopes to be.
DAVID WARE has served as historian of the Arkansas State Capitol since
2001. He is a native of the District of Columbia, grew up in Nebraska and
Wyoming, and earned his PhD in American history from Arizona State
University. His career has included both academic and public history, as
well as busking and an extended foray in the oil exploration business. He
and his wife and daughter live in Little Rock, Arkansas.

A Captive Audience
Voices of Japanese American Youth in World War II
Arkansas
EDITED BY ALI WELKY
The story of Japanese internment camps
Using archival primary material such as photographs, yearbooks, artwork, and first-person written accounts, A Captive Audience gives an
inside look at the experiences of young people at the Rohwer and
Jerome Relocation Centers in Arkansas during the forced incarceration
of Japanese Americans during World War II. Many young internees at
the camps saw their families lose their homes, businesses, and possessions on the West Coast when the U.S. government rounded up people
of Japanese descent after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Yet through all
the chaos and heartbreak of the internment experience, young people
often brought a unique perspective of hope and resiliency.
Intended for young-adult readers, this book explores important
dimensions of Arkansas and U.S. history, including human rights and
what it means to be an American.
ALI WELKY holds an MA in English literature from the University of Central
Arkansas and is the assistant editor of the online Encyclopedia of Arkansas
History & Culture. She lives in Conway, Arkansas with her husband and two
children.

Sad Math
Poems by Sarah Freligh
Winner of the 2015 Moon City Poetry Prize
In Sad Math, Sarah Freligh takes us for a ride through an American girlhood, a retrospective landscape of parking in cars and illicit kisses in a
Donut Delite. Here, time is measured not only in days and years but
in physical distance, a past that is understandable only when viewed
through a rearview mirror. Along the way, there are not only losses, but
also the accumulation of experience and the insistence of possibility.
“Sarah Freligh’s Sad Math is nothing less than a marvelous arc that captures and explores what it means for all sentient beings to age and find
the unreasonable sum of years. Her feminist view heightens the notion
of sacred disfigurement as we realize that language can never properly
add or assess our grief. These stark poems are exposures that fade and
yellow until her profane Kodacolor print becomes a kind of Giotto canvas, though a contemporary one where the man on TV ‘points to a red
stain spreading across / a map and tells me it’s best to stay/ inside’.”

True Places Never Are
Short Stories by Cate McGowan
Winner of the 2014 Moon City Short Fiction Prize
In her debut collection, Cate McGowan introduces us to an assortment
of characters, a passenger manifest voyaging through loss and salvation.
The book’s title borrows from Moby Dick: “It is not down in any map;
true places never are.” And McGowan’s characters are indeed off the
map; they venture into wondrous worlds as knotty and distressing as the
places they aim to leave. True places are indeed hard to find, yet hope
is every person’s traveling companion in this collection. In True Places
Never Are, McGowan reminds us that wherever you are in the world,
redemption might not be far away.

The Teeth of the Souls
A Novel by Steve Yates
Sequel to Morkan’s Quarry, The Teeth of the Souls tells the story of a marriage betrayed, a lifelong and secret love, and an Ozarks city riven by an
Easter lynching.
Grounded in broad historical research and spanning Missouri’s
reconstruction, vigilantism, and fall from grace, The Teeth of the Souls
chronicles the violent melding of immigrant strains—Irish, German,
Scots-Irish, and African American—into the fabric of the Ozarks. As
Leighton’s twentieth century begins, the rush of technology and the
seeming advancement of humankind cannot mask old hatreds, greed,
and lust for vengeance. Leighton’s answer to evil affirms the power of
one man’s resistance, and the cost.
“Steve Yates searches out the hidden stories from our regional history.
Those events that were murky in the shadows, forgotten, or simply not
spoken about, are in his hands turned into powerful and fresh fiction.
Yates has scope to his ambitions, and talent to match. An exciting new
voice.”
