This book is a work of fiction, but the narrative poems are mostly true.In A Rockfish Valley Poet and His Camera, the author explores his coming of age feelings, perceptions, emotions, doubts and fears in a 134 page book with over 90 narrative poems and 75 gray-toned landscape scenes and theme photographs. He traces his young adults' fantasies, memories and personal interactions in a candid and realistic manner. Within the writings he reveals a social-psychological look at his family ideals that have been shaped more by legend and historical circumstance than reality. He examines his own perceptions of life in the valley community through poems of forbidden love, an unsolved crime, a suicide, his own racial naivet� and a driving desire to tell a story that he hopes will be remembered. This book could became a classic read for those who see the Rockfish River Valley as more than a by-way or thoroughfare to a weekend get-a-way, ski trip, kayaking adventure or a hike in the National Forest. It is about a young man who grew up and lived in the valley among real people who loved, laughed, cried and struggled with everyday challenges, just like everyone else. This is not some picture postcard fantasy dreamed up for someone's "get-a-way from the busy city or stressful job." It is narrative poetry, with visual images, that let the reader see and feel the Rockfish River Valley through a native born poet's eye, soul and spirit.He says in the beginning of the book: "Every time I look at this old faded photograph of my first grade classmates, I am reminded of the dreams we had for a better tomorrow. There is the life we now realize in our early autumn years of family, children, grandchildren. Many of us are still friends. We have endured and championed the tests of time. We now stand on another portal looking to the next chapter in our lives and legacies, to a future generation that we hope will remember us.

This is my story in photographs and poetry about growing up, living in and revisiting the Rockfish River Valley, Nelson County, Virginia where I met school mates, friends, writers, artists, poets, young and young at heart, who told me stories of the place they called home. Others told me it was the place they left when young, and returned later to raise children and grandchildren. Some, like me, came from work places and large communities and stayed into retirement and second careers.It's a place with rivers, some shallow--others deep--that flow through valleys and ravines with a history of their own. It's a place with green meadows, walking paths and trails by historic mills, factories, and communities that were born of industry and immigration, faded and reborn again, as descendants and former residents return to reclaim past history and splendor.It's a place where some will say "Waltons Mountain" was created and relived along the Rockfish River.It's a frontier place that saw the likes of Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry and other frontiersmen who made the westward advance of America possible. It's a place that would see the first and second world wars as soldiers loaded buses and trains, leaving mothers, sons, husbands and wives behind to wait for a worried and fearsome return. It's a place that experienced the 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's that brought changes, as factories changed and work changed.It's a place that lets those who live here see the planet's news in 'right now' time. It's a place where a new generation ushered in Y-2K.It's a place that witnessed the beginning of the 21st century with its concerns, hopes and new life styles and social interactions; built on faith, goals, education and new technologies. And, it's the place where I live now.

"An incisive biography of the prolific photo-essayist W. Eugene Smith; In an interview with Philippe Halsman, W. Eugene Smith remarked: "I didn't write the rules, why should I follow them?" Famously unabashed, Smith is photography's most celebrated humanist. During his reign as a photo-essayist at Life magazine in the 1940s and 1950s, he established himself as an intimate chronicler of human culture. His photographs of jazz musicians, disasters, doctors, and midwives revolutionized the role that image-making played in journalism, transforming photography for decades to come. In 1997, lured by the intoxicating trail of people that emerged from Smith's stupefying archive, Sam Stephenson set out to research those who knew him from various angles. In Gene Smith's Sink, Stephenson revives Smith's life and legacy, merging traditional biography with highly untraditional digressions. Traveling across twenty-nine states, Japan, and the Pacific, Stephenson tracks down a lively cast of characters, including the playwright Tennessee Williams, to whom Smith likened himself; the avant-garde filmmaker Stan Brakhage, with whom he once shared a chalet; the artist Mary Frank, who was married to his friend Robert Frank; and Thelonious Monk and Sonny Clark, whom Smith recorded on surreptitious tapes. The result of twenty years of research, Gene Smith's Sink is an unprecedented look into the photographer's beguiling legacy and the subjects around him"--

Honor Frost has written a travel book with this difference: her journeys have extended below the surface of the sea. Her accounts of these regions can be compared with the writings of early travellers who, unhampered by overspecialization, recorded a variety of observations on completely unknown places. In setting down her direct experience she has thrown new light on the much discussed submect of underwater archaeology. This book contains 22 colour and 28 monochrome photographs by well known divers, also 52 plans and drawings by the author illustrating her arguments. It is addressed to travell.

Since the early 1800s, people have made a living fishing and harvesting mussels in the lower Ohio Valley. These river folk are conscious of an occupational and social identity separate from those who earn their living from the land. Sustained by a shared love of the river, deriving joy from the beauty of their chosen environment, and feeling great pride in their ability to subsist on its wild resources and to master the skills required to make a living from it, many still identify with the nomadic houseboat-dwelling subculture that flourished on the river from the early nineteenth century to the 1950s. Today's community of fisherfolk is small and economically marginal, but their activities sustain a complex set of traditional skills and a body of verbal folklore associated with river life. In Flatheads and Spoonies, Jens Lund describes the activities, boats, gear, verbal lore, and sense of identity of the fisher folk of the lower Ohio River Valley and provides historical and ethnobiological background for their way of life. Lund connects the importance of river fish in the diet of inhabitants of the valley to local fishing activities and explores the relationship between river people and those whose culture is primarily land-based, painting a colorful portrait of river fishing and river life. This book offers a look—historical and ethnographic—at a little-known aspect of traditional life in the American Midwest, still surviving today despite immense changes in environment, resources, and economic base.

America has an array of women writers who have made history--and many of them lived, died and were buried in Virginia.(/b> Gothic novelists, writers of Westerns and African American poets, these writers include a Pulitzer Prize winner, the first woman writer to be named Poet Laureate of the Commonwealth of Virginia and the first woman to top the best-seller lists in the twentieth century. Mary Roberts Rinehart was a bestselling mystery author often called "the American Agatha Christie." Anne Spencer was an important figure in the Harlem Renaissance. V. C. Andrews was so popular that when she died a court ruled that her name was taxable, and the poetry of Susan Archer Talley Weiss received praise from Edgar Allan Poe. Professor and cemetery history enthusiast Sharon Pajka has written a guide to their accomplishments in life and to their final resting places.
