11. I Hear America Singing Poet/Writer James Agee With these words james agee acknowledged the restless journey his biography would encompass. Poet, novelist, journalist, film critic, and social activist, http://www.pbs.org/wnet/ihas/poet/agee.html

(RUFUS) JAMES AGEE "I know I am making the choice most dangerous to an artist in valuing life above art." W ith these words James Agee acknowledged the restless journey his biography would encompass. Poet, novelist, journalist, film critic, and social activist, Agee would lead an unorthodox, hard-driving life that would result in an early death. So voracious was he for experience that in valuing life, as he put it, he could not help but shape the penetrating, passionate, and colorful poetry and prose he produced. Of Huguenot ancestry, James Agee was born in Knoxville, Tennessee in 1909, the son of a postal worker who was killed in the prime of his life in an automobile accident. The loss of his father marked James Agee both short term and long term. Thirty years later it would form the kernel of the novel which is the cornerstone of his fame (A DEATH IN THE FAMILY), but more immediately it resulted in what the author would later see as an expulsion from a childhood Eden. In 1916 Agee was sent to an Episcopal boarding school in the Appalachians, Saint Andrews Seminary. Not unlike James Joyce's experience wit the Jesuits, the years spent in this monastic environment would shape and scar Agee for the rest of his days. Tormented by his sense of isolation and abandonment by his mother, he, nevertheless, found solace in the rigorous academic curriculum, and he formed his closest and most enduring friendship with his mentor, Father Flye, who became a surrogate parent, confidant, and spiritual inspiration for the remainder of Agee's forty-four years.

20. Metro Pulse/Secret History/James Agee Park The park to honor Knoxvilleborn author james agee, a project he s been discussing with friends for nearly two years, is going to happen. http://www.metropulse.com/dir_zine/dir_2001/1115/t_secret.html

Comment on this story Finally, a memorial to a native genius by Jack Neely At about midnight last Friday, as he was playing a preservation benefit at the Laurel Theatre, songwriter/poet R.B. Morris stopped long enough to make an announcement to the standing-room-only audience. The park to honor Knoxville-born author James Agee, a project he's been discussing with friends for nearly two years, is going to happen. It will be just down the block from the theater, on the northwest corner of Laurel Avenue. and James Agee (formerly 15th) Street. It's not a big place, a third of an acre or a little more, just a good-sized city lot used to park a couple dozen cars. Morris, who has traveled widely in Fort Sanders, has wished for some sort of Agee monument for years. In the late '90s, when developers were demolishing entire blocks of his old neighborhood, Morris walked up the old residential steps to this parking lot, and started imagining. "It came out of that sense of loss that everyone was feeling," he says. From this hillside you can see downtown, UT, and some of the best that remains of Fort Sanders. It's a view that parked cars don't much need. "All of a sudden it just started growing there in my mind," he says.
