2012 Texas Poet Laureate Turns to Memoirs

Angelina River Press is proud to announce the release of memoirs from prolific award winning author Jan Seale. Nature Nurture Neither: A Family’s Journey in Creativity explores the sharing of artistic talent within a family in a humorous, memorable fashion. According to the publisher: Is it genes, or environment or something else that causes a child to select one of the arts as a life’s work? What are the odds that the offspring of a musician and a poet will be artists? One family’s creative passage shines a light on the deliberate and incidental ways in which all five came to be involved is music, literature, and visual art. This family autobiography is unscientific, anecdotal, and entertaining—in the best tradition of memoirs.

Jan Seale’s impressive accomplishments include two books of short fiction, three volumes of nonfiction, nine books of poetry, and nine children’s books. She is a contributor to numerous well respected publications, such as The Yale Review, Texas Monthly, and Newsday in addition to being a recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship in Creative Writing.
