In this, his first collection of nonfiction, Paul Ruffin, best known for his fiction, poetry, and edited works, gives us a broad sampling from his treasure chest of hundreds of column pieces and essays published over a fifteen-year period in newspapers and journals/ magazines such as Southern Quarterly, Southwest American Literature, and Texas Magazine.
In this amazingly eclectic book, Ruffin provides the reader with rollicking essays like “Workshopping a Cowboy Poem,” the tender “Girl in the Well-Lighted Place,” the poignant “Dust to Ashes, Ashes to Dust.” You have paraded before you family, food (for the stomach and for thought), folks, foolishness, and a whole lot of fun.
