In this evocative biography, Benjamin E. Wise presents the singular life of William Alexander Percy (1885-1942), a queer plantation owner, poet, and memoirist from Mississippi. Though Percy is best known as a conservative apologist of the southern racial order, in this telling Wise creates a complex and surprising portrait of a cultural relativist, sexual liberationist, and white supremacist.We follow Percy as he travels from Mississippi around the globe and, always, back again to the Delta. Wise's exploration brings depth and new meaning to Percy's already compelling life story - his prominent family's troubled history, his elite education and subsequent soldiering in World War I, his civic leadership during the Mississippi River flood of 1927, his mentoring of writers Walker Percy and Shelby Foote, and the writing and publication of his classic autobiography, Lanterns on the Levee. This biography sets Percy's life and search for meaning in the context of his history in the Deep South and his experiences in the gay male world of the early twentieth century. In Wise's hands, these seemingly disparate worlds become one.

"The crisp air;Moon-light bouncing off the ocean.The gristled sand betwixt our toes;The scent of salt flowering through the breeze.Hand in hand;And heart to heart -My love for thee grows more and more as the moon doth to rise.A kiss so tender;Nice and light;A smile that flows from cheek to cheek.Innocence and laugher;More wine throughout the night.Thy head spins as if this were to be a dream.For wishing upon a shooting star, Our love shall shineRaising the light in our souls.So mote it be.Starring deep into one another eyes;Like entwining roses disappearing way up into the sky -A warm embrace;A warm kiss from the lips;Leading a trance, Unlike any other throughout the night.Time stands still, Yet is so far away.Floating, falling, rising, glowing -What is this feeling that I am to be knowing?True love is where I bleed;For thy heart is head over feet.Grasping onto one another;Sounds of passion and delight -Like crickets chirping in the night.The moon starts to fade as the sun does to rise;A picturesque ending to yet another night of passion, Just you and I -A feeling so right.A glow we have made from one another -A glow so bright.I hope this feeling ne're comes to an end.Allow us one more toast -A toast to this and this alone.To keep the fire burning;Burning throughout the night and throughout our lives." - Lady Buella Percy"Lady Buella Percy One Heart, One Mind, One Soul" is a collection of poems and thoughts.
