Southern in The City: A Mason-Dixon View of Manhattan, is a true story about one Tennessee Southern belle's crazy adventures in New York City over 30+ years. From meeting John Travolta and discovering Broadway as a 14-year-old newcomer, to channeling her inner "Eloise" at the Plaza Hotel in her 20's, Herbison's New York experiences are anything but normal. In her 30's & 40's...when she finally grew up, she also grew to appreciate the Big Apple from a rare - and even native - perspective, ironically as a Southerner. The book takes you through her journey that nearly led to a New York relocation from Nashville in 2001, months before 9/11. It also depicts a fictional story about that fateful day, based on a tragic photo that gripped Herbison for years.Janna captures a raw appreciation & love of The City beyond the headlines and stereotypes, along with - of course - years of advice on where to go, what to do (and where to shop)...when you get there. Southern in The City will take you on a true roller coaster of emotions, as it chronicles an unbelievable affair with New York, and shines a much-needed, more lighthearted & honest view on geographical stereotypes across our country.
The Multiple Worlds of Pynchon's Mason & Dixon
New essays examining the interface between 18th- and 20th-century culture both in Pynchon's novel and in the historical past. Thomas Pynchon's 1997 novel Mason & Dixon marked a deep shift in Pynchon's career and in American letters in general. All of Pynchon's novels had been socially and politically aware, marked by social criticism and a profound questioning of American values. They have carried the labels of satire and black humor, and "Pynchonesque" has come to be associated with erudition, a playful style, anachronisms and puns -- and an interest in scientific theories, popular culture, paranoia, and the "military-industrial complex." In short, Pynchon's novels were the sine qua non of postmodernism; Mason & Dixon went further, using the same style, wit, and erudition to re-create an 18th century when "America" was being formed as both place and idea. Pynchon's focus on the creation of the Mason-Dixon Line and the governmental and scientific entities responsible for it makes a clearer statement than any of his previous novels about the slavery and imperialism at the heart of the Enlightenment, as he levels a dark and hilarious critique at this America. This volume of new essays studies the interface between 18th- and 20th-century cultureboth in Pynchon's novel and in the historical past. It offers fresh thinking about Pynchon's work, as the contributors take up the linkages between the 18th and 20th centuries in studies that are as concerned with culture as withthe literary text itself. Contributors: Mitchum Huehls, Brian Thill, Colin Clarke, Pedro Garcia-Caro, Dennis Lensing, Justin M. Scott Coe, Ian Copestake, Frank Palmeri. Elizabeth Jane Wall Hinds is Professor and Chair of the English Department at SUNY Brockport.
Clay's Tectonic Shift – John Mason, Ken Price, and  Peter Voulkos, 1956–1968
This is an absorbing look at the work of three artists who paved the way for ceramics to be considered fine art. "Clay's Tectonic Shift" focuses on artists John Mason (b. 1927), Kenneth Price (b. 1935), and Peter Voulkos (1924-2002) and their radical early work in post-war Los Angeles where they formed the vanguard of a new California ceramics movement. The three artists broke from the craft tradition that emphasized the function of a piece. Instead, they experimented with scale, surface, colour, and volume, creating work that was instrumental in elevating ceramics from a craft to a fine art.

This book is aimed, primarily, at the newly initiated Mason, but it is also for those older Masons who have not delved into the depth of meaning in Masonic ceremonies.As Freemasonry is a system of morality, veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols, this book takes a look at what those allegories and symbols are hinting at.The creators of the amazing Masonic degree ceremonies have added a layer of meaning that goes beyond the obvious moral lessons and starts to point the Mason who seeks light towards a more spiritual understanding of himself and the reason for his existence in this world.This is the first of three volumes, each aimed at one of the three Craft Degrees.

We learn a good deal about David Mason's life through his poetry: we learn of his family life and troubles, his travels, his loves, and his losses, but we never have the impression of being buttonholed by a man who is self-centered or egoistical. Partly this is because we are convinced of the numerous ways in which the life he recounts is connected to other lives, to places and to historical events. But it is mainly because we always sense how closely what he recounts is related to ourselves. As with all major poets, his voice becomes our own."This book examines Mason's career in detail, from his very first volume (1990) to his most recent publications, bringing out the full range of his accomplishment in a number of different genres—lyrics, narrative poetry, children's verse, drama, and opera libretti—while also examining his critical essays and memoirs. While offering close readings of all his most important poems—from the shortest epigram to the book-length verse narrative, Ludlow—the book also provides the biographical context for these works, giving an insight into a rich and varied life that has spanned three continents.
