Shotwell has published her 12th volume of verse, Chained Trees, Chained Owls, and her first volume of collected fiction, An Aesthetic Education and Other Stories. For five decades, her verse has appeared frequently all over America, especially in the Sewanee Review and Southern Review. She is considered an important scholar of French literature. Recently, her scholarship has concentrated on Southern and Southwestern literature, including women writers. For years, she and her late husband, Patric, spent their summers in Colorado, where she was born.
A reviewer of Brosman’s work has written on her “elegant style, a vision of the world that blends skeptical sophistication with generous sympathy, and an inerrant ear for representing the language that men and women actually speak . . . . Of contemporary American poets, only Catharine Savage Brosman possesses the wit, erudition, and technical skills to pull off this tour de force, a combination of lyrical travelogue and bracing, biting account of our moral and artistic decline.” Another writes of her “wit, sophistication, fearlessness, and good judgment.” And yet another critic writes of her “simply gorgeous, jaw-droppingly beautiful work.”
Andrew P. Calhoun

Anne Wilson Smith
Anne Wilson Smith was born and raised in the Carolinas by a family who believed that Southern history was something to be cherished. This stood in sharp contrast to what she often encountered outside the home.

She once got into hot water arguing with her fifth-grade teacher about Abraham Lincoln!
Anne is the daughter of preeminent Southern historian and scholar Clyde N. Wilson. Over the course of her father’s half-century long career, she has met many people who openly and unapologetically expressed their love for the people and history of Dixie. These associations naturally affected her views of the South. It is Smith’s belief that fair treatment of Southern history, especially the Confederate era, can instill pride and a natural affection in Southern youth for their ancestors and affirm their sense of identity.

Since retiring from a successful career as a chemical engineer, Howard Ray White has become a prolific historian of the War for Southern Independence. He is inspired, as he has written, by the bloodstains he saw while growing up, that are still on the floors of a family house that was a hospital during the Battle of Nashville in 1864.

Besides other history, White has published two works of fiction on the War—The CSA Trilogy (what could have happened if the South had won) and R.E.
