Dream Garden provides the first inclusive appreciation and evaluation of the poetry of one of the South’s, indeed America’s, premier writers, Fred Chappell. The selections range from a poignant prologue by George Garrett to appreciations by R.T. Smith and R.H. W. Dillard; from critical pieces by Henry Taylor and Dabney Stuart, among others, to a description of the Chappell papers at Duke University by Alex Albright. In addition, Dream Garden includes a recent interview with Chappell by Resa Crane and James W. Kirkland. Dream Garden is essential reading for those interested in the writing of Fred Chappell, one of the finest voices in the South.
George Garrett is the author or editor of more than forty books, including the poetry collection Days of Our Lives Lie in Fragments: New and Old Poems, 1957–1997. He has won numerous awards, among them the Rome Prize of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the T.S. Eliot Award, and the PEN/Malamud Award for Short Fiction. He is Hoyns Professor of Creative Writing at the University of Virginia.
