A Fire to Light Our Tongues, Texas Writers on Spirituality<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A Fire to Light Our Tongues: Texas Writers on Spirituality <\/span><\/em>brings together the works of writers in Texas. The title is taken, with permission, from Naomi Shihab Nye\u2019s introduction to <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Salting the Ocean: 100 Poems by Young Poets, <\/em>where she states the role of poetry serves as \u201ca fire to light our tongues.\u201d This view describes the role that creative writers, encountering the challenges of this past decade, face as they grapple with shifting views of spirituality. While the project started before COVID-19, given the current worldwide pandemic, a book of creative work responding to writers\u2019 spirituality could not be more timely. This anthology offers readers creative works by Texas writers as they wrestle with evolving systems of belief or nonbelief.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Texas Dives: Enduring Neighborhood Bars of the Lone Star State<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Anthony Head<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

While sometimes mischaracterized as the last respite of alcoholism, despair, and questionable motives, Texas dive bars are a reminder that life is not limited to the pressures and profits of the 9-to-5 world. A true dive earns its status through age and patron loyalty, so while dives are outposts from much of society, they\u2019re typically stable businesses and often active in their neighborhoods. Dives are also gathering places, where the members, lubricated by affordable beer and long pours of whisky, solve the world\u2019s problems on a regular basis.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
