The Wolfpen Poems<\/h2>\n

James Still<\/h3>\n

James Dickey, in a Los Angeles Times review, said,\"The<\/a> \u201d The Wolfpen Poems seem to establish Still as the truest and most remarkable poet that the mountain culture has produced. The poems are quiet, imaginative and sincere, and the poet\u2019s terrible grief over the loss of a way of life registers with double effect because of the modesty of statement.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perley Ayer<\/h3>\n

\"People<\/a>Eleven speeches by the late Executive Director of the Council of the Southern Mountains, who believed \u201cevery person \u2013 man, woman and child \u2013 should have the opportunity to be better than he or she is. \u201d Perley Ayer was one of the best of the \u201coutsiders\u201d who came to the Southern Mountains in the first half of this century to invest their lives in the fortunes of Appalachian people. First in North Carolina, then Tennessee, and finally at Berea College, he was an excellent teacher. Not content just to teach, he could preach, write, and make marvelous speeches. In 1951, he was asked to take over the moribund Council of the Southern Mountains. With characteristic imagination and vigor, he resurrected it, built an impressive membership, prepared it for foundation-supported projects and then the government\u2019s War on Poverty of the mid-sixties.<\/p>\n

Now, nearing the end of his own voyage, he has a message \u2018too marvelous to keep\u2019:<\/p>\n

Who should I tell

\nIt could be you.
\nLike the Mariner, I am looking
\nFor the one to whom it must be told.<\/p>\n
