The Settling Place

E.W. Rauscher, the preeminent merchant of his small hometown of Erin, Tennessee, has always felt a comfortable level of self-confidence. But when his motives are called into question, in the middle of a Sunday morning worship service of all places, E.W. begins to ruminate on the people and events that led him to this particular place and time. What results is the story of a family, the heartbreaks and successes that color their days, and the unavoidable tragedy about to befall them.  Based on true events, Ann Rauscher Smith Hagler tells the story of her own family, taking a tragedy and pulling together the scraps it made of so many lives and transforming them into a transcendent family saga, a testament to the power of family and grace.

The Long View: Essays, Poems, Stories

Susan Ford Wiltshire wrote this book as a thank you note for all the books she has read, the wonders she has seen, and the stories she has heard. Whether reading, traveling, or listening, she invites others to come along. A recurring theme in everything Wiltshire writes is hospitality. An act of hospitality, she says, is a matter of turning strangers into friends. When that happens, both host and guest are transformed. Wiltshire learned the ways of hospitality not only from her West Texas upbringing but also from the ancient Greeks and Romans. When she refers to the ancient authors, her purpose is to connect what they knew then with what we know in our own lives. When the occasion requires it, Wiltshire becomes a thoughtful activist. Trained in the philosophy and practice of non&shy;violence, she understands that the goal of any movement is not victory but community. Wiltshire makes no distinction between teaching and learning. When she retired from Vanderbilt University in 2007, Chancellor Nicholas Zeppos said of her: "An award winning teacher, department chair, accomplished scholar and the author of six books, Susan's academic career is exceptional and impressive. But it is her genuine affection for undergraduates and natural gifts for teaching and mentoring that truly distinguish her long tenure at Vanderbilt."

What are "blind" drawings? Within, you will find drawings ranging in tenor from humorous to poignant, all completed using the same "blind" technique. On sculpture, Alison Touster-Reed has said, "When I sculpt, often the clay itself tells me what to do. It speaks, in other words, like a human with emotions, reveals what shapes and textures it wants to become." A Gallery of Blind Drawings is a collection of drawings that made themselves known to their creator and not the other way around. This book is intended, in part, to be a jumping off point for your own exploration of "blind" drawing. While it is not a guide, per se, it can be used as inspiration. What drawings might be waiting to introduce themselves to you?
