New Releases by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings

A collection of literary work that shows the artistic development of a Pulitzer Prize-winning author From herfirst poems and stories to her finely crafted essays as a newspaper andfeature writer to the gathering brilliance that began at the outset ofher Florida Period, highlighted by the Pulitzer Prize for The Yearlingin 1939, Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings became, in the words of MargaretMitchell, America's "born perfect storyteller." Arguing that Rawlingshas been underestimated and underappreciated as a great American writer,Rodger Tarr and Brent Kinser present Rawlings's emergence andmaturation as an artist. This collection brings together for the firsttime the work that contributed to her once stellar position as a hero ofAmerican letters. Rawlings's childhood publications in the Washington Postand McCall's magazine reveal a budding Romantic if not an emergingTranscendentalist determined to pursue humanity's relationship withnature. As a young storyteller Rawlings had a compelling interest infairytales, marked by a sense of the comedic and the sentimental, andalways the moral. Many of her early stories and poems, especially thosewritten while she was a student at the University of Wisconsin, alsoreflect her developing feminist spirit, an interest that she continuedto pursue as a feature writer for newspapers in Louisville, Kentucky,and Rochester, New York. Like many writers, Rawlings wasself-critical. She was particularly aware of writing as a discipline andas an adult was prone to dismiss her early work as overly wrought.However, as her mature work demonstrates, she owed a great deal to theskills learned in her development as an artist. Rawlings knew thatsuccessful writing owed less to inspiration than to hard work, a lessonshe experienced repeatedly during the writing of her stories and novelsunder the guiding hand of her celebrated editor Maxwell E. Perkins. Thiscollection of early work, college writing, newspaper pieces, andstories of life in Florida is an intimate glimpse at an important writermastering her craft.

“Cross Creek,” by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, is not just a book; it's an immersion into a world where the rhythms of nature and the eccentricities of human nature intertwine. This isn't a simple tale of a move to the country; it's a vivid exploration of a life lived in harmony with the land and the colorful characters who populate it. The narrative is less about a plot and more about a mosaic of experiences, insights, and encounters, each contributing to a deeper understanding of what it means to find home in an unexpected place.
