About the Book

A writer's writer, East Tennessee poet and novelist George Scarbrough enjoyed a career that spanned eight decades and included numerous awards. This biography makes use of Scarbrough's personal journals to tie his literature to his life and presents previously unpublished poetry, letters, and prose pieces. Somewhat overlooked during his lifetime, he is, as this book demonstrates, among the best poets of the 20th century.

About the Author :

Review :
“a masterful treatment of a complex and deserving writer. Indeed, one hopes that George Scarbrough can now rest in peace with the assurance that his story has finally and superbly been told”—Appalachian Journal; “Mackin seems to have followed every trail and sidepath, examined every clue, and assembled the resulting knowledge into this fascinating and near-obsessive (as all books of this kind must be if they are to amount to anything) mosaic to explain this creative and complicated poet. Part biography, part critical analysis, and enormously readable, Mackin’s book seems sometimes to ponder the nature of creativity itself.”—William Gay, author of The Long Home, Provinces of Night, and Twilight, and I Hate to See That Evening Sun Go Down (short stories).
