<p>These previously unpublished short stories have their settings in diverse Texas places and times, from Old West to Winn-Dixie. The series combines works by several of the states better known authors with those of new discoveries, gifted Texans that might not have otherwise gotten into print. Renowned writers include Carmen Tafolla, Robert James Waller, A.C. Greene, Judy Alter, Lionel Garcia, Clay Reynolds, Cindy Bonner, Robert Flynn, Jan Epton Seale, Joyce Gibson Roach, Jay Brandson, and Rolando Hinojosa. Whether famous or first-time, these seventy-plus Texas fictionalists sent in their manuscripts from the Valley, Trans-Pecos, Panhandle, and Piney Woods as well as from Dallas, Houston, El Paso, Austin, and old San Antonio. Taken together, Texas Short Stories 2 is certainly a good read, and it might even say something about Texas culture itself.</p>

TEXAS IN POETRY: A 150-YEAR ANTHOLOGY is the first inclusive collection of Texas poetry in many years. This anthology includes some of the state's best contemporary poetry, as well as poems from the earliest days of the Republic. Early poets such as President Mirabeau B. Lamar and the Englishman Frank Desprez, whose "Laska" is probably the most famous "bad poem" ever to be written about Texas, share space with such contemporary writers as Vassar Miller, Walter McDonald, Teresa Palomo Acosta, Naomi Shihab Nye, Lorenzo Thomas, Rolando Hinojosa, William Virgil Davis, Carmen Tafolla, Jas. Mardis, and Pat Little Dog. Not forgotten in this comprehensive anthology are Berta Hart Nance, author of the thirties signature piece "Cattle," which begins with the famous lines "Other states were carved or born,/Texas grew from hide and horn"; Whitney Montgomery, Karle Wilson Baker, Arthur Sampley, Grace Noll Crowell, Gene Shuford, Vaida Stewart Montogmery, Martin Shockley, Fay Yauger, William D. Barney, Faye Carr Adams and William Burford.
