True Tales of a Wyoming Generation
This book takes you through the follies of a boy, who slowly and belatedly evolves into manhood, long after a frivolous adolescence. The story begins during The Great Depression of the 1930's and continues with the traumas the boy experienced as an "instant" and inept ranch hand during the manpower shortage of World War II. His adventures continue at the University he attends where the ratio of men to women is 5 to 1. After graduation he proceeds to military service, travels, studies in Mexico, and finally settles into a happy marriage with children. But the marital bliss he has enjoyed eventually collapses and he has to meet the challenge of single parenting. After his kids grow up and leave home, he takes up hiking, skiing and climbing in the mountains, which leads to more mishaps and adventures. Each generation is different, and these accounts reflect the life and times from about 1930, and some contrasts to our present mode of living. Although some fictional writing techniques are used, the author has strived to record these true accounts as accurately as his imperfect memory would allow.

Human Hours
Winner of the Believer Book Award The triumphant follow-up collection to The Game of Boxes, winner of the James Laughlin Award Catherine Barnett’s tragicomic third collection, Human Hours, shuttles between a Whitmanian embrace of others and a kind of rapacious solitude. Barnett speaks from the middle of hope and confusion, carrying philosophy into the everyday. Watching a son become a young man, a father become a restless beloved shell, and a country betray its democratic ideals, the speakers try to make sense of such departures. Four lyric essays investigate the essential urge and appeal of questions that are “accursed,” that are limited—and unanswered—by answers. What are we to do with the endangered human hours that remain to us? Across the leaps and swerves of this collection, the fevered mind tries to slow—or at least measure—time with quiet bravura: by counting a lover’s breaths; by remembering a father’s space-age watch; by envisioning the apocalyptic future while bedding down on a hard, cold floor, head resting on a dictionary. Human Hours pulses with the absurd, with humor that accompanies the precariousness of the human condition.
