    Spring 2019

    What tales we tell what tales                                                          What ails?
    About the girls gone quiet                                                                        Yet
    The story-telling ones                                                                               once
    Who entertained the heart                                                                       art 
    Till suddenly they ceased.                                                                      eased 
    What makes the tongue inert?                                                                hurt.
    What turns the voice to swords                                                            Words, 
    Cutting the throat? What  takes                                                             aches,
    The name from the alibi                                                                               I

    Makers of Sewanee

    Woody Register

    If Moultrie Guerry wrote as an insider who saw himself in the University’s founders, Roberson saw his forebears in the generations of Black people, enslaved and free, who had also “made Sewanee” but did so without acknowledgment or even mention.

    A Tribute to Wyatt Prunty

    David H. Lynn

    Wyatt was eloquent in his tribute, revealing his deep affection for Peter as well as a natural wit that seemed entirely appropriate to what was also a serious setting. I was both moved and impressed, and though I hadn’t planned on it, I found my way on the Mountain to a reception later that afternoon at Barbara and Wyatt’s lovely home with its magnificent views of Tennessee. And there, even with all the to-ing and fro-ing of other guests and friends of Peter, we found the chance to chat. From my point of view, we’ve paused now and then to catch our breath, but the talk has never really ended.

    125 Years of SR

    The Sewanee Review

    The Fall 2017 issue of the Sewanee Review, due out in October, is the magazine’s five-hundredth, and marks the close of its 125th volume. In celebration of the anniversary, the issue contains images from our archives that touch on the Review’s history; however, the majority of its pages attest to the conviction that the best way to protect this legacy is to look to the future.
