The American Culture Studies Program began publishing its "Reflections on the American Century" Series in 2000 with the Three Essay volume, which presented the work of three of America's distinguished writers--Gerald Early, William H. Gass, and Naomi Lebowitz. Each essay, illustrated by one of Washington University's resident artists, offers unique reflections on personal experience. Two new volumes just published by the Washington University Press, Selected Poems and a memoir, Then: Essays in Reconstruction, feature the work of John N. Morris. Learn more about the Morris volumes and how to order these books.

"Reflections on the American Century" is sponsored by the Program in American Culture Studies, Arts and Sciences, Washington University in St. Louis, the Illustrated Book Studio, part of Washington University's School of Art, and Special Collections of Washington University Library. Once again we are indebted to Ken Botnick, Director of the Illustrated Book Studio, for the beauty of the books in this series.
