WALLACE is a trilogy: WAR, WEST, and WEALTH. Each section portrays a modest and inconspicuous protagonist thrust into an immodest and consuming mix of war, frontier survival, and personal accomplishment that stretch values to the breaking point. Rev. Dr. Weagley served the United States Naval Reserve Military as a Chaplain, and actively in the U S. Army Security Agency as an enlisted man. He managed a chain finance office and later worked as a bookkeeper for a trucking company while obtaining multiple college degrees. He served as an ordained Evangelical Lutheran minister, and subsequently obtained his doctorate degree while working as deployed staff for a Synod Bishop. Fifty-three years of marriage blessed the union with four children who granted additional gifts of thirteen grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. In 2007, Dr. Weagley went to war with Guillain-Barre Syndrome, a paralyzing virus that required a shift in emphasis mode from stand-up preacher to sit-down author. Wallace is a fictional characterization that is rooted in truths strung together in reality conundrums. As if in search of justice, truth streams through time, unrestrained, unlimited, and unrestricted.

Winner of the Backwaters Prize in Poetry Dear Wallace addresses the poet and insurance executive Wallace Stevens in an attempt to reconsider art, power, and creativity amid the demands of everyday responsibility. Exploring relationships between modernism, motherhood, poetry, and privilege, the speaker of these poems puts her daily routines in dialogue with his. Curious, funny, and wry, Julie Choffel confronts Stevens as an unlikely peer who lived and wrote in the same city and weather as she does now, imagining a present-day conversation about the many ways creative practice is informed by social context. As we struggle to marry creative independence with our communal obligations, the questions in these poems are more urgent than ever. Stevens, a proxy for beauty, inventiveness, and legitimacy, becomes an audience for the ennui, anxiety, and politics of care that characterize another kind of writer's life today.

This early work by Alfred Russel Wallace was originally published in 1916 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'Alfred Russel Wallace: Letters and Reminiscences, Vol. 1.' is a collection of correspondence between Wallace and other scientists, including Charles Darwin. Alfred Russel Wallace was born on 8th January 1823 in the village of Llanbadoc, in Monmouthshire, Wales. Wallace was inspired by the travelling naturalists of the day and decided to begin his exploration career collecting specimens in the Amazon rainforest. He explored the Rio Negra for four years, making notes on the peoples and languages he encountered as well as the geography, flora, and fauna. While travelling, Wallace refined his thoughts about evolution and in 1858 he outlined his theory of natural selection in an article he sent to Charles Darwin. Wallace made a huge contribution to the natural sciences and he will continue to be remembered as one of the key figures in the development of evolutionary theory.
