When Michael Copperman left Stanford University for the Mississippi Delta in 2002 to work for Teach for America, he imagined he would lift underprivileged children from the narrow horizons of rural poverty. Well-meaning but naive, the Asian American from the West Coast soon lost his bearings in a world divided between black and white.
Copperman's memoir vividly captures his disorientation in the divided world of the Delta, even as the author marvels at the wit and resilience of the children
in his classroom.

The stunningly beautiful color photographs in
The Land of Rowan Oak are University of Mississippi botanist Ed Croom's exploration and documentation of the changes in the plants and landscape over more than a decade. While Faulkner's novels have left an indelible legacy in southern and American letters, the landscape of his beloved home also serves as a record of the botanical history of this "little postage stamp of native soil."
With an introduction by Don Kartiganer
