In this epic adaptation of \u003ci\u003eBeowulf\u003c\/i\u003e, Donald Mace Williams recasts the epic poem, setting it in the Old West and turning it into a critique of man's encroachment on nature. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In \u003ci\u003eBeing Ninety\u003c\/i\u003e, Williams recounts his more than nine decades as a child of the Depression, a poet, journalist, professor, classically trained singer, husband of 62 years, father, and lifelong wanderer. Williams's life reads like a picaresque novel of Texas and many points farther afield. He forges on through his nineties on the strengths of his love of the prairies and his memories of his loving wife, Nell, and ultimately of his devotion to the writing life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e DONALD MACE WILLIAMS is a former writing coach for \u003ci\u003eThe Wichita Eagle\u003c\/i\u003e and reporter and editor for papers that include \u003ci\u003eNewsday\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eFort Worth Star-Telegram\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eAmarillo Globe-News\u003c\/i\u003e.
