HONEYCUTT FINDS INSPIRATION IN THE FORCE OF NATURE, (March 28, 2023)
Scott Honeycutt has a Ph.D. in American literature and lives in Johnson City, Tennessee. He is an associate professor of English at East Tennessee State University. When he is not teaching, he enjoys hiking and spending time with his daughters. In addition to his poetry, he also writes nonfiction and draws maps.
A! Mag: Do you remember the first poem you wrote? If so, tell us about it and why you wrote it.
Honeycutt: I was 12 or 13 when I wrote my first poem. I was attempting to write in a gothic mode, meaning I was going for something dark and spooky. It’s pretty terrible, but I still have it in a file somewhere at the bottom of a closet. Those early attempts at creation are crucial to anyone who wants write or paint or draw or dance or sing or ...
A! Mag: How did you get interested in writing poetry?
Honeycutt: When I was a child, my mother would read Edgar Allan Poe’s poetry to me - “The Ravens,” “Bells,” “The Undead,” what fun! Most teenagers love Poe, and I was no different. Also, one time an uncle once asked me, “Have you ever read the poem “The Tyger” by William Blake?” I hadn’t but soon after, I did, and it gobbled me up.
A! Mag: What poets serve as inspiration?
Honeycutt: I heard somewhere that all American poets are the sons and daughters of Walt Whitman. After all, Whitman thought that America itself was the greatest poem. In “Song of Myself” he exclaims “I speak the password primeval, I give the sign of democracy. By God, I will accept nothing which all cannot have their counterpart of on the same terms.” Who besides Whitman would think to write such audacious lines? He gazes beyond our horizons and sings about a hope for the future. I love that.
Besides Whitman, I’m also inspired by the poems of Mary Oliver, Ranier Maria Rilke, Samuel T. Coleridge, Allen Ginsberg, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Robinson Jeffers, Philip Larkin and Natasha Tretheway, to name a few.
A! Mag: What subjects are inspiration for your poetry?
Honeycutt: Well, there’s always nature of course. Years ago, I attended an open mic and the MC exclaimed, “Now come up here and give us your most radical works, and we don’t want any of that silly Robert Frost stuff.” I remember thinking, “Wait, what?, I love Robert Frost!” Humans often believe that we are the most interesting thing on this planet, but I’m not convinced. Even though most of my poems include people, they are almost always launching, for better or worse, outside somewhere.
A! Mag: What poetic forms do you tend to use?
Honeycutt: Writing is very difficult for me, and I don’t consider myself an accomplished poet. While I have played with form, I mostly write in free verse. Narrative form, free verse seems to be dominant in contemporary American poetry.
A! Mag: What is the importance of poetry in our world today?
Honeycutt: I’m not so sure about importance of poetry in the world today - but clearly we need it. Reading and writing poetry has, hopefully, helped me to become a more observant person. It helps me stay in the present and to be aware of surroundings, of my senses. It helps me be a better listener, too. Also, poets and artists have long been aware of the notion a shadow self or daemon (not demon!) that speaks through their poems. This daemon could be called a poetic voice or individual spirit; it helps poets say in verse what they might otherwise not utter in person, face to face. The daemon takes experience and memory and transforms it into art. We need more of this transformation.
A! Mag: What are some publications where your poetry can be found?
Honeycutt: My poems can be found in various regional anthologies like “The Southern Anthology of Poetry: Virginia”, and “Kentucky Writers: The Dues Loci and the Lyrical Landscape”, along with journals like Jimson Weed and Still: the Journal. I have also published two chapbooks, “Twelve Miles North of the Ohio River” and “This Diet of Flesh.”
A! Mag: What awards have you received?
Honeycutt: I have won a couple of regional awards for poetry - first place Jimson Weed (2017) and first place poetry Tennessee Society for Poetry -Northeast Region (2015).
May Poem, Roan Mountain
Some truths we only realize in mountains
or under branches of gnarled trees that creak in stillness.
These truths deliver time into our palms, almost.
It’s what lurks, beyond and unseen yet felt, in the green-masked
sheen of rhododendron leaves that rush up a hillside, brambles
bounding out like fire.
Even though the meaning eludes like smoke along ridgelines,
It’s here.
And even though sometimes it surprises and breaks through,
looming like a bear on the campfire’s edge,
it will not feed from our hands, nor will it stay:
it can only inch close to flames before turning round
those chocolate eyes and heading back into the forest.

A River Runs through It and Other Stories (Paperback), By Norman Maclean, Robert Redford (Foreword by), (c. 1976 & c. 2017) https://www.chautauquabookstore.com
Description
When Norman Maclean sent the manuscript of A River Runs through It and Other Stories to New York publishers, he received a slew of rejections. One editor, so the story goes, replied, “it has trees in it.” Forty years later, the title novella is recognized as one of the great American tales of the twentieth century, and Maclean as one of the most beloved writers of our time. The finely distilled product of a long life of often surprising rapture-for fly-fishing, for the woods, for the interlocked beauty of life and art-A River Runs through It has established itself as a classic of the American West. This new edition will introduce a fresh audience to Maclean’s beautiful prose and understated emotional insights.
Elegantly redesigned, A River Runs through It includes a new foreword by Robert Redford, director of the Academy Award-winning 1992 film adaptation of River. Based on Maclean’s own experiences as a young man, the book’s two novellas and short story are set in the small towns and mountains of western Montana. It is a world populated with drunks, loggers, card sharks, and whores, but also one rich in the pleasures of fly-fishing, logging, cribbage, and family. By turns raunchy and elegiac, these superb tales express, in Maclean’s own words, “a little of the love I have for the earth as it goes by.”
About the Author
Norman Maclean (1902-90), woodsman, scholar, teacher, and storyteller, grew up in and around Missoula, Montana, and worked for many years in logging camps and for the United States Forest Service before beginning his academic career. He was the William Rainey Harper Professor of English at the University of Chicago until 1973.
Praise For…
“If there is a smarter, more affecting meditation on the themes of fathers and sons, brothers, the pleasures of the natural world, love, loss, and the haunting power of water, I have yet to come across it. As it has for many others, A River Runs through It became for me a kind of central text, equal parts fishing primer, literary masterwork, and spiritual guide. . . . It remains one of my most beloved books.”
- Jon Gluck
“Maclean’s book-acerbic, laconic, deadpan-rings out of a rich American tradition that includes Mark Twain, Kin Hubbard, Richard Bissell, Jean Shepherd, and Nelson Algren.”
- James R. Frakes
“It is an enchanted tale.”
- Roger Sale
“The title novella is the prize. . . . Something unique and marvelous: a story that is at once an evocation of nature's miracles and realities and a probing of human mysteries. Wise, witty, wonderful, Maclean spins his tales, casts his flies, fishes the rivers and the woods for what he remembers from his youth in the Rockies.”
- Barbara Bannon
“A masterpiece. . . . This is more than stunning fiction: It is a lyric record of a time and a life, shining with Maclean’s special gift for calling the reader’s attention to arts of all kinds-the arts that work in nature, in personality, in social intercourse, in fly-fishing.”
- Kenneth M. Pierce
“Maclean’s book is surely destined to be one of those rare memoirs that can be called a masterpiece. . . . Earthy, whimsical, authoritative, wise; it touches the heart without blushing and traces lasting images for the eye. . . . This book is a gem.”
- Nick Lyons
“[Maclean] would go to his grave secure in the knowledge that anyone who’d fished with a fly in the Rockies and read his novella on the how and why of it believed it to be the best such manual on the art ever written-a remarkable feat for a piece of prose that also stands as a masterwork in the art of tragic writing.”
- Philip Connors
“Altogether beautiful in the power of its feeling. . . . As beautiful as anything in Thoreau or Hemingway.”
- Alfred Kazin
“Ostensibly a ‘fishing story,’ A River Runs through It is really an autobiographical elegy that captivates readers who have never held a fly rod in their hand. In it the art of casting a fly becomes a ritual of grace, a metaphor for man’s attempt to move into nature.”
- Andrew Rosenheim
"In the years since I first read this collection’s title story, I’ve never been able to think about fly-fishing without a genuine sense of reverence. . . . Maclean dedicates long, languid passages to the finer points of casting in the ‘great trout rivers’ of western Montana, which manage to be both technical and transcendent. . . . The beauty of the story lies in its specificity-the summer of 1937 on the Big Blackfoot River-against the sweep of religion, the primeval forces of geology, and the pure ache of loving someone whom you struggle to understand."

The beauty of the story lies in its specificity-the summer of 1937 on the Big Blackfoot River-against the sweep of religion, the primeval forces of geology, and the pure ache of loving someone whom you struggle to understand."

Caleb Tull will now serve as Director of Membership and Business Development for the Chamber of Commerce serving Johnson City, Jonesborough, and Washington County.
The Chamber made the announcement on Monday, saying that Tull is already planning his focus areas for the organization. He will officially assume his new role on Aug. 1.
“We are thrilled to have Caleb come on board our team here at the Chamber,” Chamber President and CEO Bob Cantler said. “Caleb knows our business community and they know him. His experience with recruiting donors and partners, as well as his hardworking spirit and drive, is going to help fuel our members’ success and economic opportunity in the community.”
Tull is an East Tennessee State University alum - where he received both his undergraduate degree and his MBA - and has worked in ETSU’s National Alumni Association for the last decade.
As the director of membership for the Chamber, Tull will oversee the Chamber Ambassadors program, provide business assistance to new and existing members, as well as enhance membership recruitment and retention.
“I’m very excited to start working with the Chamber community,” Tull said. “Our area has impressive and fierce businesses and entrepreneurs, and I am excited to work with them and help them succeed in making the strongest business impact.”
For his new role, Tull said his greatest goal is collaboration.
“I’ve heard the Chamber say it before, and I think it's true,” Tull added. “Competition starts at the bottom; collaboration starts at the top. I plan on identifying new ways that foster collaboration among our members and among our Chamber partners and supporters.”
