In my recent review of New Stories from the Southwest, I wondered why the "decidedly non-Southwestern" Swallow/Ohio University Press had chosen this book (and expressed gratitude that they did; it's a wonderful set of short stories). Both alert reader Tom Pilkington of Stephenville (I love our readers; smart bunch they are!) and Jeff Kallet of Ohio University Press kindly sent e-mail illumination my way. Seems that Swallow Press, prior to its affiliation with Ohio University Press, was based in Denver. Poet Alan Swallow published people like Frank Waters and books on all sorts of Western historical and cultural subjects, keeping them in print when otherwise they might have fallen by the wayside. Ohio keeps up the good work, and the literary world should give them a hearty high-five. |
