The author researched letters, journals, and other primary sources to assure fidelity to historic events. FIGHTING MEN OF TEXAS, her major book-length poetry, crowns a lifetime of writing about Texas in both prose and poetry and composing musicals to help celebrate her native state. Much of the author's poetry was written and published during her younger years. Her more recent efforts have been other literary forms, principally three full-length musicals for which she wrote the book, music, and the lyrics. Her first musical was produced in Corpus Christi in 1976. Her most recent musical, Big Hill: The Saga of Spindletop, was performed in 1986. A full-length stage play about Ima Hogg, the daughter of Texas Governor James Hogg, is her latest work in progress. A native of Waxahachie, she was the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. C. C. Cooke. In her earlier years, Mrs. Burkett won poetry prizes and was published in magazines, newspapers, and anthologies. She was a member of the Poetry Society of Texas and attended Dallas meetings while a student at Trinity University. One of her plays was produced by Trinity Players. In 1937, she married Jacob C. Burkett, Jr. They moved from Breckenridge to Goose Creek, now Baytown, in 1943. Together, they taught for many years at Robert E. Lee High School, where Mr. Burkett headed instrumental music. He died in 1962. Mrs. Burkett took early retirement following the death of her mother in 1968. In addition to her regular classes, she had sponsored a writing club without salary. Her students won many awards, and several are successful writers today. Of her various poems, only one eighty-page story in verse has been published in book form. FOR ALL THAT IS AMERICA, concerning Pearl Harbor, was published in Dallas and given the Gold Medal Award of the Texas Woman's Press Association in 1945. XX Mary Lou Burkett's FIGHTING MEN OF TEXAS will appeal to lovers of both poetry and Texas history. Working in the classic tradition of the epic and more recently in the vein of Stephen Vincent Benet's John Brown's Body, Ms. Burkett has written her epic poem of Texas celebrating those who carved Texas out of the wilderness and brought her to the present. Fighting Men of Texas is a work fitting for Texas's Sesquicentennial. (FRANK VANDIVER, President, Texas A&M University). Hilbig, Joan (illustratore).…

Tapa dura. Condizione: New. Una selección de relatos de horror que muestra lo más oscuro del mundo vegetal. Una antología que reúne a nombres como Roald Dahl, Eudora Welty o H.P. Lovecraft.Orquídeas sanguinarias, bosques enteros que se rebelan contra quienes los masacraron, setas tan bellas como venenosas, robles majestuosos que se convierten en la reencarnación del hombre de la casa, maravillosas enredaderas que reviven espantosos fantasmas del pasado, máquinas rudimentarias que permiten registrar el terrible sufrimiento de las plantas maltratadas, árboles solitarios que señalan el mismísimo umbral a un mundo pesadillesco. Un verdor siniestro recorre la literatura de los siglos XIX y XX y nos recuerda que las plantas, seres fascinantes y misteriosos, benéficos y letales a la vez, encarnan la otredad en forma de monstruo silencioso, al tiempo que padecen los efectos de la avaricia que lleva al ser humano a usurpar y destruir sin compasión aquellas formas de vida que, reducidas a materia prima, pueden generar riqueza.Gótico botánico es un catálogo de historias del mundo vegetal más fantástico, que incluye a autores tan destacados como M.R. James, Richmal Crompton, H. P. Lovecraft o Roald Dahl, y que permite, además, descubrir las inquietantes creaciones de escritoras pulp como Mary Elizabeth Counselman, Maria Moravsky o Eli Colter. A partir de ahora, el verde será el nuevo negro.CRÍTICA«Ya sea como eficaces símbolos de temas universales, en forma de remotos miedos victorianos y de personajes híbridos, peligrosos o sedientos de venganza, los vegetales ofrecen una fascinante variedad literaria, consecuencia lógica de su casi infinita y perturbadora cantidad de especímenes y de todo lo que nos queda por descubrir sobre ellos.» --Patricia Esteban Erlés.…
