Introduction to Myth
This not a collection of myths but a study of mythology itself, and a literature anthology as well. It offers a thoughtful explication of the archetypal quest tale, in ways that will make students aware of its universal value in embodying human responses to the universe. Called the "monomyth," the hero tale subsumes within it virtually all the literary themes we know, and this popular text forges connections between myth and literature that any student can readily grasp. Those who are familiar with the first edition of Introduction to Myth will note considerable changes in the text. Three new stories and several new poems have been added. In addition, the introductory chapter has been thoroughly revised and expanded to include more information about what myths are, including theories about their origins, and also about the role of the female in mythology.
Proof of Passage
Peter Stillman's poems love everything: his wife, the land, the animals and birds, old barns, whatever grows, and whatever and whoever has died. His touch is tender and makes everything he touches, in Joseph Campbell's words, transparent to transcendence. They are also incredibly sensual. Smells of hay, wild flowers, winter nights, and, yes, even dung suffuse them. I could compare him with the other poets of the rural life Frost, Berry, Oliver but that might suggest his poems are derivative in some way. They are not. His voice is clear, strong, and unique. These are poems to keep by your bedside to read, read, and reread. --William Greenway.

Planting by the Moon
Planting by the Moon provides a rollicking yet poignant portrait of rural hardscrabble America. Stillman's perspective on life in a backwater hamlet, as caught in essays and occasional poems, is refreshingly different from other books on rural life. He is the things he writes of-logger, firefighter, horseman, cabin dweller, loiterer at the general store. These writings bring us past romanticized depictions of rural village life to provide a close up view of the ongoing struggle for survival in such a place, as well as of the exquisite beauty of Stillman's chosen world. Readers will meet Rooney, who kept a car in the kitchen, Wanda, who painted her rival's name on a pig, Everett, who had fits tailored to the moment, Jimmy, who logged by moonlight, Earl, whose wife ran off in the family car "after he'd just done the valves and rings," and many more of Gilead's memorable inhabitants. Together these pieces, most from letters and journals, are the very kind of "place" literature people of all ages should not only be reading but creating for themselves.
