Henderson, Bill Her Father A Memoir
Faber and Faber 1995 0571198724 / 9780571198726 Hard Cover Fine Fine
In 1980, thirty-nine-year-old Bill Henderson promised his dying mother that he would finally settle down and have a family. It was a promise to grow up, to make the transition from son to father. Four years later, his daughter was born. Her Father is the story, told with astonishing candor and self-deprecating humor, of a belated coming of age. Here Henderson, the founder and publisher of the Pushcart Press, traces his journey to fatherhood in painstaking and hilarious detail. He begins in the 1970s, with his freewheeling life as a struggling small publisher and man-about-New-York-City in the heyday of sexual freedom. He describes meeting his wife at a cocktail-soaked book launch party, their move out of the city to a "shack" on Long Island, the ups and downs of their relationship, and their initial ambivalence about having a child. Ending with the hilarious misadventures leading to the birth of their daughter and cameos of her early years, Her Father is a highly personal yet universally familiar account of one man's passage to adulthood and concurrent spiritual reawakening.

Henderson, Bill The Pushcart Prize XX: Best of the Small Presses 1996
Pushcart Press 1996 0916366634 / 9780916366636 Trade Paperback Very Good
A photo of this book is available. Very-good, clean copy. NO remainder marks or clippings. Covers are clean (NO tears). 570 pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Tight spine, clean pages. Synopsis The most honored literary series in America celebrates two decades of continuous publication.. Library Journal: America's small presses are strong, diverse, and vibrant, even more so than one might guess from this flagship compilation that in its 20th year is showing some signs of tired blood. The fiction tends to be very strong, particularly stories by Maxine Kumin, Charles Baxter, Don DeLillo, Alice Schell, Nora Cobb Keller, Eileen Pollack, Rick Moody, and Stephen Dobyns. While poems by Marilyn Chin, Linda Bierds, Dennis Simpson, Cyrus Cassells, Alberto Rios, Sandra McPherson, Galway Kinnell, and A.R. Ammons are all of the highest order, many others are blandly prosaic. Kinnell's pithy question to a Dickinson scholar, "Why not, first, try listening to her?" might also be directed to the poetry editors. The poor quality of works by Joyce Carol Oates, John Barth, John Updike, and Grace Paley and the exclusion of flash fiction, performance poetry, cyberpunk, or fantasy provide evidence that even the small press has an old boys and girls network. Although this is not the watershed anthology one might hope for, the pluses far outweigh the minuses. Recommended for public and academic libraries.-Jim Dwyer, California State Univ. Lib., Chico Biography: Bill Henderson is the founder and editor of the Pushcart Prize. He received the 2006 National Book Critic Circle's Lifetime Achievement Award and the Poets & Writers / Barnes & Noble Writers for Writers Award. He lives in Wainscott, New York.
