Anthologies and Collections

Picture
It's thrilling to have work chosen for an anthology. Getting a book in print, an article printed or published online, a radio piece played, means one has convinced at least one gatekeeper to like a piece of work, and one always fears that perhaps the editor in question just couldn't think of a polite way of turning one down. But a piece in an anthology, collection, or distillation demonstrates that one has hoodwinked at least two different editors -- one for first publication, and another who chose work for the collection. Which allows one to think perhaps there might have been some small merit in the work itself, which is comfort in those fetal-position hours that characterize most of the life of a writer. 

My writing has been anthologized or included in Best Creative Nonfiction of the South, Volume II: North Carolina (Texas Review Press, 2017), Scars: An Anthology (Et Alia Press, 2015), Literary Trails of Eastern North Carolina (UNC Press, 2013), 27 Views of Raleigh (Eno Publishers, 2013), What Makes Us Southern (Our State, 2013), Literary Trails of the North Carolina Piedmont (UNC Press, 2010), Speed Show (New York Times, 2006), Speed (Thunder’s Mouth Press, 2002), The Book of Management Wisdom (John Wiley, 2000), Appalachian Adventure (Longstreet, 1995), The Appalachian Trail Reader (Oxford, 1996), The Best of Weekend Wilderness (Backpacker, 1992), and USA City by City (World of Travel, 1989). I had a piece recognized as notable sports writing in Best American Sports Writing, I think it was 1992 or perhaps 1991.
