After a disastrous first meeting, Morgan, 89, moves in with Dixie,
age 79, strictly a business arrangement, both maintain. When a
"lost" grandson, bent on vengeance for past wrongs, invades their
lives, fear and suspicion threaten to ruin their plans. He becomes
a catalyst, eventually bringing the couple the love and pride
they'd lost decades before with the loss of their children.
Award-winning author Mardo Williams completed the first draft of
One Last Dance at age 95. His daughters, honoring their father's
wishes, finished the book after his death.
A contemplation on small remnants scattered across the grounds of
memories, Tailings retrieves the intimate thoughts and stories from
the son of a gold miner. This beautifully rendered collection
travels across the rustic crevices of a contemporary America, and
author Jerry Williams presents and analyzes fragments of life and
loss, shaping himself through childhood memories of raspberry
bushes, pickup trucks, and hospital beds. Through a rumination on
portraits, a study of self, and an unearthing of stories, Tailings
is balanced in philosophy and storytelling, illustrating the
identity of a sociologist, a cancer survivor, and an Oregon
goldminer's son.
In this collection of poems, Williams employs
elements of both the narrative and surrealistic
lyric--addressing subjects as diverse as family, alienation,
political quandary, and artistic
desire--in order to craft a darkly humorous and generally
hard-hitting vision of the current state of
contemporary America. In the words of Bob Hicok:
"This is not the misanthrope's attack but the lover's
hope for something better and true: a genuine self,
a sustaining culture."

This century of growth has been fed by equally unprecedented
material resource consumption and associated negative environmental
impacts. This book offers both a vision and a path to a sustainable
future while maintaining a livable world. Sustainability is a human
concern, and sustainable development cannot occur without human
development. This collection of essays introduces the human
dimension into the sustainability debate by applying what we call
the golden rule of sustainability: "Do unto future generations as
you would have had previous ones do unto yours." Guided by this
ethical imperative and by harnessing the power of science in both
the physical and human worlds, we have can remake national and
global institutions in ways that offer real hope for future
generations.
