_______________ George Brosi Wilma Dykeman was an exceptional public speaker, a talented novelist, the Tennessee State Historian, and the author of non-fiction books which helped shape East Tennessee’s response to racial integration, environmental degradation, and the rise of feminism. She also was a pioneer in promoting Appalachian Literature. Thus we are delighted to be able to feature her in this issue, and especially to have the cooperation and the essays of her two sons, Jim Stokely and Dykeman Cole Stokely. We are especially proud to include the poetry of her husband, James R. Stokely Jr, as well as photos from another relative, James Overholt. The guest editor for this issue is Viki Dasher Rouse. Last year she fea- tured Wilma Dykeman at the Mildred Haun Conference which she found- ed at Walters State College in Morristown, Tennessee, where she teaches English. In addition to securing material from Wilma Dykeman’s family, she also secured a biographical article from Elizabeth S. D. Engelhardt and Elizabeth Sims who are currently preparing a full-length biography of Wil- ma Dykeman. We are delighted to have outstanding short stories for this issue from two unheralded but compelling regional writers, Carrie Mullins of Mt. Vernon, Kentucky, and William Kelley Woolfitt, a West Virginian teaching at Lee University in Cleveland, Tennessee. Wiley Cash’s first novel, A Land More Kind Than Home, has achieved considerable acclaim, and we are happy that Warren J. Carson can introduce it to our readers in this issue. Our poets include two Tennessee natives, Elizabeth Cox and Kath- erine Smith, who have gone on to outstanding academic careers beyond their home state. Larry D. Thacker lives in Middlesborough, Kentucky, and works at Lincoln Memorial University in Tennessee. Another distin- guished poet, David Huddle, is presently teaching in Tennessee, after a career at the University of Vermont and a stint as writer-in-residence at his alma mater, Hollins. He grew up in Ivanhoe, Virginia. Lisa Kwong grew up in Radford, Virginia, not far from Ivanhoe, and is currently doing graduate work at Indiana University. Jeffrey Hicks Morgan’s first published poem appears in this issue. He teaches at the North Carolina School of the Arts.
