Product Description

"There's a fine density and intensity to this work, the 'thinginess' that informs our actual lives, and a radically innovative use of language. I kept thinking of the alabaster bear and petrified whale vertebrae on our mantle, these fabulous memories of life."
--Jim Harrison

"Black-Eyed Heifer is a mighty anthem to down home local culture 'the deeply rooted' the feisty, sustaining rhythm that saturates the land. These lyrical prose poems sing a 'rampant fire' tune 'to yesterday's hands-up hinterland' and the fact that 'there were horses, there always are.' There is abundant vitality and wide-eyed beauty in Shelly Taylor's contemporary Georgian eclogues, 'all the while mindful of the color turn' and 'silent footwork & news.'"
--Brenda Iijima

"The prose poems of Shelly Taylor's first collection create stories that poke through your eye & go straight through your head. Ms. Taylor makes up words in 'holler time,' language you haven't heard before but know, right away, to be urgent. I can tell you that she 'put me ripened there,' into a three-dimensional South of horses, fields, and characters. Her poems are hell-bent, mad-cap adventures whose diction & syntax defy category".
--Jane Miller

Shelly Taylor's first collection, Black-Eyed Heifer, inhabits the possibilities of language, indigenous in its diction, but radically unfamiliar in its jagged syntax and extended lines. This is neither an experimental or pastoral poetry, but a fusion of speech and intellect that reflect a poet who is deeply rooted in the earth, its dirt and concrete, its horses and cats, but speaks in a rhythm that explodes into space, taps into the pacing of a 21st-century phantasmagoric, recollected, American landscape and self. If you made Robert Creeley write lines the length of Frank Stanford's The Battlefield Where the Moon Says I Love You, gave them both the sensibility and precise diction of a contemporary Emily Dickinson riding on a horse fast enough to get from Athens to Brooklyn in 10 minutes, then you'd get something like Taylor's poems. The pacing is high octane, pyrotechnic, but the discursive function of the content is old school, familiar, and impressively defiant.
--Sonora Review

Product Description
"I was but a boy in my nineteenth year, and in for adventure when I started out from Hopkinsville, Kentucky, with all my worldly possessions, consisting of a few dollars in money, a change of clothes, and a gun, of course, to seek my fortune in this lazy man's paradise."Noah Smithwick was an old man, blind and near his ninetieth year, when his daughter recorded these words. He had stayed on in "paradise"--Texas--from 1827 to 1861, when his opposition to secession took him to California. The Evolution of a State is his story of these "old Texas days."A blacksmith and a tobacco smuggler, Noah Smithwick made weapons for the Battle of Concepción, and he fought in that battle. With Hensley's company, he chased the Mexican army south of the Rio Grande after the Battle of San Jacinto. Twice he served with the Texas Rangers. In quieter times, he was a postmaster and justice of the peace in little Webber's Prairie.Eyewitness to so much Texas history, Smithwick recounts his life and adventures in a simple, straightforward style, with a wry sense of humor. His keen memory for detail--what the people wore, what they ate, how they worked and played-- vividly evokes the sights, sounds, and smells of the frontier.First published in part by the Dallas Morning News, Smithwick's recollections gained such popularity that they were published in book form, as The Evolution of a State, in 1900. This new edition of a Texas classic makes widely available for the first time in many years this "best of all books dealing with life in early Texas." ... Read more

The Evolution of a State (Noah Smithwick)
A detailed and authentic account of the period by a very hardy pioneer.
Noah Smithwick was a survivor and on top of his game.I note there is a town named after him NW of Austin.I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in frontier Texas.

Early Texas History
This is a must read book for any one wanting to get a good view of early Texas history

Good Reading
We found this book to be full of interesting stories about early Texas.It was helpful in finding information about our ancestors and our early Texas family.

An Excellent Memoir
I learned of this book through the H-Texas History forum online and I was not disappointed. Occasional "old time" expressions make the account interesting and remind the reader that the writer is speaking from another time. The story as told from a first-person point of view was enhanced by my prior knowledge of events in Texas history. Reading about those events in the words of a person who was there was impressive. I highly recommend this book. I have purchased copies as gifts. ... Read more
