Page v Preface but there were things That covered what a man was, and set him apart From others, things by which others knew him. The place Where he lived, the horse he rode, his relatives, his wife. His voice, complexion, beard, politics, religion or lack of it, And so on. With time, these things fall away Or dwindle into shadows: river sand blowing away From some ling-buried old structure of bleached boards That appears a vague shadow through the sand-haze, and then stands clear, Naked, angular, itself. from "Trial and Error," H.L. Davis People new to a region are especially interested in what things might set them apart from others. In works by Northwest writers, we get to know about the place where we live, about each other, about our history and culture, and about our flora and fauna. And with time, some things about ourselves start to come into focus out of the shadows of our history. To give readers an opportunity to look into the place where Northwesterners live, the Oregon State University Press is making available again many books that are out of print. The Northwest Reprint Series will reissue a range of books, both fiction and nonfiction. Books are selected for different reasons: some for their literary merit, some for their historical significance, some for provocative concerns, and some for these and other reasons together. Foremost, however, will be the book's potential to interest a range of readers who are curious about the region's voice and complexion. The Northwest Reprint Series will make works of well-known and lesser-known writers available for all.
