John McGahern (1934-2006) believed that fiction could act as a window on the world. Such windows, however, frame our fields of vision, alter and shape our perspectives. Far from being static, the artist''s perspective must continually evolve. This book provides a literary analysis of John McGahern''s artistic and poetic vision - his ways of looking'', examining the shifting focus of this vision: how and why it develops, what effects such developments have on the work''s forms and how these forms evolve, at what times and in response to what stimuli. This volume demonstrates that such developments mirror an analogous social expansion during the latter half of the twentieth century and argues that McGahern''s literary spaces relate to his efforts to realise a more accommodating form to envelop the structureless society. While the number of critical studies on McGahern has increased markedly in recent years, research still tends to fall into the well-established camps of social realism or literary aestheticism. This text aims to explore the common ground between the material context and social worlds of each work and the hermeneutics of a traditional'' literary investigation. It traverses such divides through close readings of McGahern''s work, with attention to the topopoetical production of images of the house, the home and the family unit. The book ultimately shows how attention to McGahern''s literary spaces provides a greater understanding of the aesthetic, vision and form of each novel and allows us to understand those aspects relative to the social, cultural and political undercurrents of the works individually and collectively.

In this collection of poems, Singleton brings voice to the deep harmonics of the human spirit. Above all, he sees his mission as a contemplative poet and writer, a voice coaching clarity, healing, and caring into the lives of his audience through imagery, sound, and life narratives.

Written in Singleton''s engaging and narrative-driven style this book outlines the fascinating story of a town that is totally unique in US history. The town was a modern marvel born in the throes of a World War. Maplewood was built to house employees of the Cities Service Oil Company refinery in southwest Louisiana. Built as a national defense plant, it produced high octane gasoline for the World War II effort. This book would not have been possible without Mary Ann Mitchell Redd and her treasure trove of historic photographs and many clippings saved in a scrap book made by her mother. Book editor, John Singleton was raised in Maplewood and attended Maplewood school through ninth grade. He is a graduate of Sulphur High School (class of 1961) and received a BS in Engineering from McNeese State University (Lake Charles, LA) in 1972. During a career that spanned many years, he worked as a consulting engineer. John has been blessed with a wife of 54 years, two very talented offspring (one an RN, the other a DVM), and four grandchildren.
