In this adaptation of Beowulf, Donald Mace Williams recasts the epic poem, setting it in the Old West and turning it into a critique of man&#8217;s encroachment on nature. In <em>Being Ninety<\/em>, Williams recounts his more than nine decades as a child of the Depression, a poet, journalist, professor, classically trained singer, husband of 62 years, father, and lifelong wanderer. Williams&#8217;s life reads like a picaresque novel of Texas and many points farther afield.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-size:24px;\"><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif;\"><b>BUT WAIT, THERE&#8217;S MORE!<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-size:16px;\"><span style=\"font-family:Times New Roman,Times,serif;\"><strong>There are so many Texas-connected books publishing this month that we couldn\u2019t feature all of them.
