Alana McKay is an independent woman in 15th century Scotland who has been raised by her father to do all the things a man would do. After her father tried to arrange a marriage for her with a man she loathed, he set up tournaments in which the winner would marry Alana. Refusing to be anyone’s prize, Alana set out on her gelding in the dead of night with only a small amount of food and her keen sense of survival to keep her alive. When a woman rode onto McClain lands slumped over her horse and sound asleep, Duncan—the future laird—took her into his home to give her refuge. Her intense beauty had him praying she was not yet married and could soon be his wife. When Alana awoke, she was mesmerized by the handsome man who had come to her rescue, but all the rumors about this clan made her wonder if she was in a place she shouldn’t be, but the kindness of the McClains spoke volumes. Marrying within days of meeting, Alana fell in love with her new husband quickly. But what would happen to her sister, whom she’d left behind? And would her love ever be returned?
Student and teacher. Owner and pet. Frank Boxer and Duncan Cannon are both teachers: Boxer, an English teacher of seniors at Pines Environmental High School, and Duncan, Frank’s sixteen-year-old dachshund, whose life and fast-approaching departure from this world teach Frank far more than he ever expected. This is the poignant and yet intriguing story of a dog, a teacher, and an oppressive education system that keeps them both fighting for love, for life—and for each other, emotionally, spiritually, and in every other way in which dogs and humans connect.

Call this an “educational love story,” if love means never having to say, “Sit down!” or “Play dead!” So, first, take your own dog for a long walk, and then settle in with Running to Duncan’s Field to experience the warmth, love, and strength of the bond between a man and his beloved dog.

In Reading Duncan Reading, thirteen scholars and poets examine, first, what and how the American poet Robert Duncan read and, perforce, what and how he wrote. Harold Bloom wrote of the searing anxiety of influence writers experience as they grapple with the burden of being original, but for Duncan this was another matter altogether. Indeed, according to Stephen Collis, “No other poet has so openly expressed his admiration for and gratitude toward his predecessors.” Part one emphasizes Duncan’s acts of reading, tracing a variety of his derivations—including Sarah Ehlers’s demonstration of how Milton shaped Duncan’s early poetic aspirations, Siobhán Scarry’s unveiling of the man...
