The Collected Essays and Occasional Writings of Katherine Anne Porter
The Collected Essays and Occasional Writings of Katherine Anne Porter is a book by Katherine Anne Porter published by Delacorte Press in 1970. The anthology includes critical, personal, and biographical essays; three sections of an unfinished work about Cotton Mather; book reviews; letters; and poems. The Collected Essays, in addition to containing seventeen pieces, includes all thirty-two essays published in The Days Before in 1952. Like The Collected Stories of Katherine Anne Porter and The Never-Ending Wrong, it consists of work Porter had written prior to her long novel Ship of Fools, which was published in 1962.[1] In his review of the book in The Georgia Review in 1971, E.C. Bufkin wrote, "As a record of her thinking and feeling, the selections cover a period of almost half a century, and the book is a virtual cornucopia."[2] References
