 | | Blurring the lines between his two forms of work, Chappell uses the persona of Jess Kirkman, the narrator in the quartet of stories beginning with I Am One of You Forever, to tell stories that parallel the poetry of Midquest.. |
 | | Chappell's focus on gothic, violence and sexual matters in these early works is not accidental: they were produced at the height of the destruction of southern society, when the ties to an agrarian society were being severed. |
 | | Chappell was born on May 28, 1936 and raised in a small North Carolina town of Canton, where his father, James Taylor, was a furniture retailer. |
