James and Tina Mozelle Braziel are a husband-and-wife writing team. Their book Glass Cabin (Pulley Press) chronicles the thirteen years they spent building their home out of secondhand tin, tornado-snapped power poles, and church glass on a ridge in rural Alabama. It is a meditation on hope, on frustration, and on people’s places in the wilder parts of the world. The Braziels have received fellowships from Hot Springs National Park and Alabama State Council on the Arts. James’s book, This Ditch-Walking Love (Livingston Press), winner of the Tartt Fiction Award, tells the stories of people living on Alabama’s Cumberland Plateau. His novels Birmingham, 35 Miles (Bantam) and Snakeskin Road (Bantam) are about the survivors of an environmental disaster in the future South. James is an associate professor of creative writing at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. He holds an MFA from Bowling Green State University. Tina Mozelle Braziel is the author of Known by Salt (Anhinga Press), winner of the Philip Levine Prize for Poetry, and Rooted by Thirst (Porkbelly Press). Tina directs the Ada Long Creative Writing Workshop at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. She holds an MFA from the University of Oregon. Her work has appeared in POETRY and other journals.
