Summary
"Professor Collins has collected in this volume sixteen poems, eighteen surprising pen-and-ink drawings, and several prose pieces, including Landing In Luck, Faulkner's first work of fiction, which he wrote between 1917 and 1925 for University of Mississippi publications and for a New Orleans literary magazine. Faulkner studied at the university for only just over a year; for the rest of the period he was the post-master there"--Dust jacket.
