Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. Fine unread condition white boards, blue spine and gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition price-clipped photographic dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by John Bentley Mays; Author Dedication; About This Book; Introduction: The Secret Hoard; Sources and Acknowledgments. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs. Also includes a fine condition vintage October 4, 1997 newspaper book review article from The Globe and Mail by Don Gillmor reviewing Power in the Blood, the article entitled South Rises Again In Family Meditation. "John Bentley Mays is one of the most powerful voices to speak of an out of the Deep South. Power in the Blood chronicles a journey of immense poignancy and resonance." - Anne Rivers Siddons. "A marvel of literary architectonics, Power in the Blood shimmers with passion and intelligence. Few books meditate on so much - history, place, the evolving self - with such elegance. But then, few writers possess John Bentley Mays' gift of probity bound up in sweet lyricism." - Charles Foran. "John Bentley Mays may have found his place in Canada but his blood is thick with Deep South truth. Power in the Blood is simply a remarkable book - brilliantly written and as accurate a portrayal of the South as anyone is ever likely to pen." - Terry Kay. "Both passionate and reflective, romantic and well researched. An odyssey of roots and change." - Lois Battle. "John Bentley Mays gives us a new view of the South, unbiased by the old view. It's as if he read everything written about the South and forgot it, or dismissed it all as cliche. Power in the Blood is a memoir of quivering beauty and truth." - Janice Daugharty. "An extraordinary narrative and honest exploration of the heart of the real American South, Power in the Blood is the account of one man's rediscovery of his Southern roots and heritage, forgotten during decades of self-exile from his homeland. John Bentley Mays left his ancestral region because, like many members of his generation, he believed a larger, more interesting life awaited him beyond the American South. The distance he put between himself and his Southern homeland widened until he eventually settled in Canada and into modern metropolitan life. Decades later, on a spring morning in 1990, the death of Mays' Aunt Vandalia summons him back to the South. As a result of his fateful return, Mays experiences an awakening of feelings and attitudes linked to his early life and family heritage, and he begins an exploration of his past. The secrets he uncovers in Vandalia's home motivate him to search for answers through the Virginia tidewater forests his ancestors cleared, the colonial plantations of his distant antebellum relatives, and the towns in South Carolina, Mississippi, and Louisiana where they lived through almost four hundred years of American history. Along the route of his journey he encounters echoes of Faulkner, remnants of civil war, and the spirits of colonial-era roads now laden with strip malls. And like many before him whose ties to their homelands have been broken, Mays struggles with the facts, stereotypes, and contradictions that exist today and color his native cultural landscape. Power in the Blood is about memory and recollection, and about the land that defines the blood and soul of a family over time. Above all, it is the poignant tale of an encounter with the American past as it emerges during a search for the truth of one family." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

paperback. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. Sound Your 'A', Ian C. Bentley, H. R. Douglas, Peter B. Gammond, John Taylor, G. W. L. Telfer, J. Irving Wardle â" 1st Edition Publication: London, The Fortune Press, [c. 1948] Formatting: Slim 8vo, unpaginated. Condition Report: Very Good. The binding is firm, tight, and remains reassuringly square, featuring clean, light blue cloth boards with sharp corners and bright red lettering to the spine, entirely free of shelf-wear or bumping. Internally, the text block is exceptionally bright, clean, and free of foxing or age-toning, with supple leaves and sound hinges. The original, unclipped dust jacket (retaining the 6s. price) shows moderate general age-toning, surface grubbiness, and light shelf-wear to the extremities, with very minor chipping and sunning to the spine ends, yet it remains whole and attractive in a protective archival sleeve. Catalogue Note: A scarce first edition anthology showcasing early work by a collective of young, mid-century British poets. The Fortune Press, overseen by the eccentric and somewhat notorious R. A. Caton, was highly influential in publishing emerging poetic voices during and immediately after the Second World War, famously launching Philip Larkinâs career alongside a host of contemporaries. The book features stylised line-drawn decorations by Peter B. Gammond, who also contributed four poems to the collection. This copy is notably enhanced by a contemporary presentation inscription on the front free endpaper from the lead contributor, Ian C. Bentley, who has signed his name and provided an evocative two-line quotation: "Take the step towards Eternity / Towards the heart of the Sun with me." Copies of this particular anthology are exceedingly scarce in commerce, with almost no exact comparables available on the open market, rendering this signed and quoted copy a significant find for collectors of Fortune Press imprints or mid-century English verse. A compelling, mid-century collection of original verse by six emerging poets, Ian C. Bentley, H. R. Douglas, Peter B. Gammond, John Taylor, G. W. L. Telfer, and J. Irving Wardle, published by London's legendary Fortune Press. Accompanied by striking surrealist line drawings,ÂSound Your 'A' captures the creative energy, melancholia, and experimental spirit of post-war British literary circles, providing a fascinating glimpse into an era defined by poetic renewal. Peter B. Gammond (illustrator).…
