These memoirs describe not only the author's personal experiences but also the world of the Thirties, Forties and Fifties in which he grew up. This world has largely disappeared, and this book attempts to keep it from being forgotten. In addition to the places where the author has lived, he mentions The Black River, Tug Hill Plateau, Lake Ontario, Stokes Pond, Fort Drum, Crogan, Castorland, Herkimer, Lyon Mountain, Lake Champlain, Fort Schulyer, Utica, Syracuse, Keene, Mount Pocomoonshine, Richland, and Sandy Creek. Many of these experiences will resonate with any person growing up in Upstate New York, while others are unique to the author.  There are chapters on Ilion High School, army basic training at Fort Dix, attending a Christian liberal arts college, and teaching at a prep school.

This is a fresh and intimate collection of literary criticism inspired by the author's travels to the homes of sixteen of literature's great poets and authors. Following sometimes centuries later in the footsteps of John Keats, Robert Burns, William Butler Yeats, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, E.J. Pratt and many others, Art Seamans makes a spiritual pilgrimage back through literary tradition. The text is published by Breakwater Books, Ltd. but can be ordered through Limekiln Books.

I See, Said the Blind Man Yes, we can-- learn to cope with being visually handicapped or blind.  Art Seamans traces his own adjustment to being legally blind in a series of essays.  In one chapter, he recounts the experience of other writers who cope with blindness.  Other chapters deal with etiquette for working with the blind, using the mobility cane, and responding to those who want to provide divine healing.  The author is able to discuss these matters with perspective and touches of humor.

In Spirit and In Truth is a polemic urging those in the Wesleyan/holiness tradition to recover its unique approach to the worship experience. Worshipping in spirit and in truth is worship that seeks to experience the perceivable presence of the divine. At previous times, this presence was named "the glory." Art Seamans recalls worship experiences in which the Transcendent was apparent. He then attempts a theology for these experiences and prescribes some conditions for its recurrence. Methodists, Wesleyans, Nazarenes, Salvationists, Charasmatics, and those of like mind will be reminded of their denomination's history.
