Katherine Anne Porter Remembered

Acknowledgments

Acknowledgments in the course of preparing this volume of reminiscences, i have become indebted to many persons. first, i would like to thank those who set down their memories of Katherine Anne Porter and allowed them to be included in this collection. i am also grateful to those persons i interviewed between 1981 and 2000 who were willing to contribute their recollections to my biography of Porter. now, transcriptions of those interviews fill in a significant portion of Porter’s portrait. i remain ever grateful to barbara thompson davis and Harrison Paul Porter Jr. for their sustained support of my work on Porter in addition to providing essays for the present work. i appreciate the careful and judicious reading of the manuscript by Jackson r. bryer, editor of the American Writers remembered series, whose suggestions greatly improved the shape and content of the collection; and beth Alvarez, archivist at the University of maryland, college Park, who made helpful recommendations that strengthened the accuracy of the collection.the assistance of doctoral student Karen roop at the University of nevada, Las vegas, was also particularly valuable. finally, i thank my husband, John Unrue, for continuous wise counsel and unflagging love and support. ...
