Chasing Sandpipers

BY ANNA TRAVERSE

Iwoke to the disorientation of a shadowy and unfamiliar bedroom. The mattress was a little too soft, and the windows had shifted from the north walls, where they are at home, to the west. Outside, a soft breeze rustled the scrubby pines and spiky palms, and on my skin, the faint lingering abrasion of sand. To my right, the puppy, Dido, stirred in her kennel, ready for another day, another adventure, another stick (or entire tree limb) to gnaw upon, another mouthful of seaweed carried triumphantly in her teeth. Yes: We were at the beach, on a barrier island chosen specifically for its relaxed and dogfriendly ways, and another morning was breaking open, spilling its bright glow over the saltwater and sand dunes.

After many months of too much work, not enough sleep, and a constant, gnawing sense of being slightly behind, we had decided it was time for a change of scenery. No big itinerary, for once. No international flights, no need for passports and adapters, no jetlag, no grand plans. Just a drive south, through Mississippi and Alabama and

into Florida. By the end of the drive, the road was long and straight and flanked on both sides with pine trees as far as the eye could see, and I felt a little like I had stepped into a computer screensaver, hurtling forward through the same image repeated infinitely, dizzyingly. Then, a bridge to an island, with a single grocery store (Piggly Wiggly! Bless!)

and a permanent population of under 1000, not counting the birds. Sandpipers, terns, gulls, plovers, wrens, kites, flycatchers, and an Eastern wood-pewee! Dido loved the sandpipers best of all, by which I mean she wanted to chase them most of all, and proved to be a little sandpiper herself: skittering toward the edge of the surf, then bounding back again the moment the saltwater grazed her gangly paws.

On a trip to the beach, and especially with a very (very) active not-quite-six-monthold puppy, I was struck by how fortunate I am to be able to keep up with my own curiosities, and with those of an endlessly fascinated young dogsoul. I don’t take for granted my ability to walk and, lately, to run: Nothing like a puppy in hyperdrive to get you to lace up the running shoes and go. Against all odds, I feel younger and more energetic at 41 than I did at 21 — which is only saying so much; my early 20s were a shipwreck, a minefield.

In a recent visit to the doctor, my primary physician reminded me, as he has in past years, that the most important metric of health is how we feel: how much energy we bring to our days, whether we’re able to chase after the puppy when she’s just made off with a shoe. This is a reminder I need to hear repeated, over and over again (along with, crucially, regular checks to make sure nothing is seriously but invisibly amiss). I’ve written before about how my parents both died far too young — at 51 and 64 — and both from rare and not very treatable cancers. It’s little wonder that I would live in constant dread of some terrible diagnosis of

my own. But I’d really prefer not to waste these precious days and years when I feel good fretting about the possibility that my own personal sky could fall. Of course it could. But probably not today, and that’s worth more than a little.

Each year, in June, we publish a list of “Top Doctors,” and this June is no exception; you’ll find that list, as well as spotlights on several individual physicians, on the pages within. The list is compiled by an outside organization, not by our staff, and that’s for a reason: We want to provide you with comprehensive and peer-reviewed information when it comes to your medical choices. Unlike, say, our annual restaurant poll, the doctors’ list is compiled without reader or staff input, without consideration for popularity, likeability, or advertising budget.

Regardless of whether you’re looking for a new doctor or just maintaining your current regimen, we hope you’ll make good use of the many, many capable and caring healthcare providers in Memphis. I know from personal experience that medical anxiety can lead to medical avoidance; sometimes it feels easier to bypass issues that seem frightening or stressful or just annoying. But I also know that I feel more confident and less afraid when I make the appointment, show up for the visit, ask the questions, listen to the recommendations.

And then I can lose myself in the moments on the sand, spinning in circles with my four-legged maniac, chasing and being chased by waves. Strong and healthy enough to keep going, sun in our faces and wind on our backs, for as long as we please.

Dido

The Butcher Shop

Diners no longer cook their own sirloins, but the restaurant still offers a classic steakhouse

experience.

BY MICHAEL DONAHUE

Not everyone who visits the Butcher Shop Steakhouse remembers when diners could cook their own steaks at the restaurant.That’s no longer done, says owner Simpson Hughes, but the charm and delicious cuisine have remained at this Cordova restaurant.

Diners immediately see the original red-brick open pits when they enter the restaurant. e color scheme, which used to be mostly green, is now “more browns, maroons, and greens,” says Hughes’ daughter, Katie Hughes, who is the manager. “It’s a classic old steakhouse look.”

Cordova is the second of the six Butcher Shop locations that once operated. e original Butcher Shop opened in 1983 at 101 South Front Street. “ e founder was my partner, Dennis Day,” Simpson says. “After that ﬁrst one, I helped more with the management side of it. And then I began to take them over and pretty much open them.” Simpson originally managed e Pier, a restaurant that was in the rear of the same building of the original Butcher Shop, but facing the Mississippi River. e Pier was “primarily a seafood restaurant,” he says. “We did oﬀer a couple of steaks, but in those days, the beef industry was not really prevalent in Memphis. e only thing you could get was sirloin.” e imposing building on Front Street, just south of Union, was erected in 1890 as a cold-storage warehouse. An egg-processing plant was on the roof during World War II. “Dennis got a loan to buy the building in 1976,” says Simpson. “Charlie Vergos helped him because he didn’t really have a lot of money at the time.”Vergos, who founded the Rendezvous, was “a promoter of downtown Memphis. He co-signed for the utilities to be installed in the building.” e Pier was doing well, so Day decided to develop the Front Street side. In 1982, Day opened Wolfgang’s,

a German restaurant, which later became the Butcher Shop. “By this time, the meat market was getting better. Better ribeyes were starting to come back into the market. You could get a short loin and your own saw, and cut T-bones, ﬁlets, ribeyes, and strips.”

e idea for the Butcher Shop “came from a concept in Montour, Iowa, at Rube’s Steakhouse, where you had to cook your own steak. ere was nobody to cook it for you.”

e Butcher Shop interior retained the same bar and European antiques that were in the German restaurant. “We built two big brick pits and put in a heavy metal pan in the middle and grate on top. All you’d do is ﬁll it full of charcoal.”

Diners ate “picnic style” on tables covered with red-andwhite tablecloths. “It started out ‘cook your own.’ Soon, we got someone to cook for them. All the steaks were the same price.” In those days, people could buy a 14-ounce ﬁlet for $9.95. Customers cooking their own

steaks became “a little bit of an issue,” Simpson says. e restaurant coined the phrase, “You burn it, you own it.” When that happened too many times, he says, “We wound up cooking 70 percent of them.”

ey eventually opened ﬁve more Butcher Shop locations, beginning with the second one in Little Rock in 1983 and ending with the last one in Chicago, which opened in 1987. Simpson, who earned a general marketing degree from then-Memphis State University, was chosen to open the diﬀerent restaurants. He also lived in the cities, including Dallas and Knoxville.

ey also had a Butcher Shop in Orlando, where they later built a Mexican restaurant, Jose O’Day’s. “I was running nonstop,” Simpson says. e Cordova location opened in 1999, when “Germantown Parkway was just a two-lane road at the time.”

ey’re located is on the Agricenter International campus. e building originally housed the old Shelby Place Restaurant. Later, TGI Friday’s and Ches-

terﬁeld’s opened at the same spot.

After taking over the space, they changed the decor, put in cooking pits and a diﬀerent vent hood system, and added more dining room space. “We did a lot of work on it and then put on a massive, great opening party — really well done. We opened the doors and it just took oﬀ.”

Simpson had a good feeling that the Cordova location was going to be a success. People in that area wanted a neighborhood restaurant and didn’t want to drive downtown. “I said, ‘ is is our future here.’ It turned out better than I thought. It was immediately popular.” Describing the restaurant, he says, “I would call us ‘casual.’ We’re not super-rustic.”

About 10 or 15 years ago, they began the popular “Fresh Burger Friday,” which runs 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Friday. People call it “Fresh Burger Frenzy,” Simpson says, selling hamburgers made from the steak trimmings. ey used to give the trimmings away because they had so much left over.

In 2012, Day sold the downtown building that housed the original Butcher Shop. “ e building was falling apart. I spent many days and weeks patching roofs.”Someone wanted to put in a “big-name hotel,” but that never happened. e building now houses apartments.

Simpson, who’s been in the restaurant business since he was 21, has a simple dining philosophy: “People just go to dinner and want to have a good time. ey want to be treated well. ey may not remember the price, know where they sat, but people all pay to be happy when they go out.”

And that’s what e Butcher Shop aims to do.

The Porter Mansion

Our history expert solves local mysteries: who, what, when, where, why, and why not. Well, sometimes.

BY VANCE LAUDERDALE

DEAR VANCE: Looking through a series of books published in 1912 called The Artwork of Memphis, I came across this illustration for an incredibly ornate residence, identiﬁed only as the “Residence of J.K. Porter.” Who was Porter, and where was this home? — F.T., MEMPHIS.

DEAR F.T.: It’s not common knowledge that my illustrious family originally planned for the Lauderdale Mansion to be an exact copy of the Porter Mansion. Unfortunately, we ran out of aluminum siding before we even completed the ground ﬂoor, and Lowe’s no longer carried the turret, fancy arches and chimneys, and most of the doors and windows. We managed to make the grass look about the same, though. is is a complicated story, involving one of the most famous families in Memphis, and one of our oldest music schools, and several of our city’s most historic colleges, but I have only two pages here, so I’ll have to provide a simpliﬁed version.

about him before. For today’s purposes, let’s just say that he was president of the Memphis National Bank and Gayoso Oil Company, among many other businesses. In the late 1800s, all of these ventures provided him the wealth to build this castle at 657 Vance Avenue.

When D.T. Porter died in 1898, his younger brother took over the massive estate. Born in Kentucky in 1844, James Porter moved to Memphis at age 16 and began working with his brother at the bank and oil company. He must have done quite well; I turned up a newspaper story mentioning that he and Samuel Carnes, president of the Memphis Power Company, were the ﬁ rst two people in Memphis to have automobiles — an incredible luxury at the time — registered in their names.

After D.T.’s death, James moved his family into the property on Vance. In 1900, they purchased the Continental Bank Building on Court Square and renamed it the D.T. Porter Building in his honor. (Readers may recall a question answered in 2021 about whether mules operated the elevator at that building.) To honor their sibling’s work as a trustee with the old Leath Orphanage, they changed the name to the Porter-Leath Asylum. Now, here’s where things get even more complicated. James Porter, in poor health for several years, suﬀered a fatal heart attack on May 15, 1917. His property, quite naturally, passed to his wife, who after only one month gave everything — the house and her husband’s business interests — to their daughters and moved into a smaller house on Poplar (still standing, by the way).

Newspapers hinted that the young women never intended to live in the home, saying the property “had been acquired adjunct to religious purposes.”

Most Memphians knew the grand residence at the southeast corner of Vance and Orleans as the D.T. Porter Home, because it was Dr. David Tinsley Porter who originally had the home constructed, sometime in the 1870s.

To begin with, even though the Artwork of Memphis books identiﬁed this image as the J.K. Porter home, that’s only because James K. Porter was living there in 1912 (with his wife, Margaret, and their two daughters) when those books were published. Most Memphians knew the grand residence at the southeast corner of Vance and Orleans as the D.T. Porter Home, because it was Dr. David Tinsley Porter who originally had the home constructed, sometime in the 1870s. If that name sounds familiar, it’s because I’ve written

Sure enough in 1918, the Porter daughters sold the property to St. Agnes Academy, a private school for women originally established here in 1851, for use as the “St. Agnes Conservatory of Music.” It made sense, since the school (shown here in an old postcard) stood just next door, in an impressive red-brick structure almost as ornate as the Porter home.

For some reason, within a year or so, the school changed the name of their newly acquired music department to the Memphis Conservatory of Music, though it remained aﬃ liated with St. Agnes (and later Siena College). Look, I told you this was complicated!

We’ll save an account of the long and colorful history of St. Agnes for another day. Let’s focus on the Memphis Conservatory of Music, which, in just a few years, became this city’s major performing arts facility. St. Agnes even purchased a lovely home on South Orleans, just around the corner, as a spacious residence

The Porter Mansion

for Patrick O’Sullivan, the nationally acclaimed music director of the Conservatory. Lured here from a college in Louisville, O’Sullivan had been trained in France and Germany and headed a faculty described by e Commercial Appeal as “second to none in the South.” Classes included coursework in “piano, violin, harp, voice, harmony and counterpoint, dramatic art, and interpretive dance.”

In the meantime, the institution grew quickly, attracting some 200 pupils, most of them earning a bachelor’s degree. e same story noted, “ e Conservatory stands for only the truest, highest, and best in the Art of Music, and serious, earnest attention is given to each pupil, from the Tiny Tot in the Kindergarten Department to the advanced students in the Graduate or Post-Graduate Course. Student recitals every week and faculty recitals every month tend to awaken a spirit of emulation and keep alive interest and enthusiasm on the part of every pupil.”

By 1923, the newspaper reported the school had even installed a pipe organ, “well-adapted for all occasions, and the ﬁ rst of its type in this part of the country.” What’s more, “Marcel Dupre, the noted French organist, has a duplicate in his Paris home.” Performances weren’t conﬁned to local talent, either. Singers, musicians, and dancers came from across America to take part in productions here.

In the late 1920s, e Commercial Appeal described a typical performance in this manner: “At times thrilling, by the sheer volume and dramatic intensity of his voice, then tender as a mother’s croon in the lighter passage, Harry Bruton of the Memphis Conservatory of Music presented an enjoyable program last night over WMC.” Audiences, it seems, could attend elaborate productions at the sprawling complex on Vance, or enjoy them in the comfort of their own homes, by just tuning in their radios.

Meanwhile, though, the neighborhood was changing. Vance Avenue, long considered one of the most desirable addresses in Memphis and lined with grand homes, was attracting businesses, and many of those old residences came down to make way for them. In 1951, St. Agnes decided to seek a more prestigious location and moved to a new campus on Walnut Grove Road. eir old building became home to S.W. Owen Junior College, which remained in business until 1968, when it merged with LeMoyne College on Walker, established here in 1871. LeMoyne-Owen College, of course, has endured as this area’s only Historically Black College or University (HBCU).

In 1970, Memphis City Schools purchased the entire property at Vance and Orleans and bulldozed the Owen

buildings to erect Vance Middle School. at campus, modern in every way, didn’t last very long. Suﬀering from maintenance issues and declining enrollment, the school was demolished in 2019.

Now, even though I wasn’t asked, here is where readers probably expect me to tell what happened, exactly, to the fabulous private mansion erected by the Porter family in the 1800s. And I hope you can sense my frustration when I tell you: I don’t know.

At some point, newspapers casually mentioned that the former home was mainly serving as the administration building for the Memphis Conservatory of Music, with most performances taking place in the St. Agnes Auditorium next door. Even so, as I pored over newspaper photos and articles, I was dreading the depressing one that told of the demolition of this stunning landmark. Well, I needn’t have worried, because such an event apparently wasn’t considered newsworthy.

But the grand home is gone. Drive by Vance and Orleans today, and you will encounter a rather unsettling sight — a completely barren ﬁeld. Not a trace has survived of a mansion that was home to several generations of one of our city’s most famous families, a structure that entertained audiences for decades as the Memphis Conservatory of Music, a beautiful building next door that housed one of this city’s oldest private schools for young women, and a more modern campus that served the students of that neighborhood.

Today, all of that has vanished, with not even a historical marker to suggest the cultural signiﬁcance of this site, and the events and activity that once took place here for decades.

TheCult of Technology

Alice Bolin’s new essay collection, written mostly in Memphis, examines the intersection of pop culture, technology, and the body.

BY JESSE DAVIS

Alice Bolin’s 2018 collection D EAD G IRLS : E SSAYS ON Surviving America’s Obsession , which TheNew York Times Book Review called “stylish and inspired,” captured the mood of its moment in what we now remember as a simpler time.

In 2018, before Covid and generative AI and talk of tariﬀs and trade wars, seemingly every novel on a bestseller list featured a girl (or woman) in peril (or recently deceased) — think Gone Girl, e Girl on the Train, e Woman in the Window, and e Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Bolin’s well-timed and clever dissection of America’s fascination with violence against women racked up awards from Kirkus, e Boston Globe, e New York Times, rillist, Bustle, and others.

Now, the Anthony and Edgar Awards nominee is back with a new collection of essays, Culture Creep: Notes on the Pop Apocalypse (Mariner/HarperCollins). Examining “the myriad ways femininity is remixed and reconstructed by the pop culture of the computer age,” the book releases on June 3rd.

FROM POETRY TO JOAN DIDION

By her own admission, Bolin took a “circuitous” route to her current career as a nonfiction writer. “I took a poetry class randomly, to fill an art credit,” Bolin explains over a phone interview that feels, in tone, more like a meandering and beguiling coffee-fueled chat about the precarious state of the nation and its media.

ough the author had initially set out to study history and political science, poetry quickly became an all-encompassing obsession for Bolin. So she pivoted, and went to graduate school for poetry. How, though, does an undergraduate degree in history and an MFA in poetry lead one to incisive essays about the intersection of femininity and pop culture? Circuitously. Bolin didn’t begin writing nonfiction until she graduated with her MFA. In fact, it was her first contact with a different — and much acclaimed — essay collection that precipitated another change in direction for her. Joan Didion’s Slouching Towards Bethlehem, an excellent 1968 essay collection that primarily catalogues Didion’s experiences in California,inspired Bolin to move to Los Angeles and experiment with writing place-based nonfiction essays.

“ at was the moment when I understood the kind of writer I wanted to be,” she says. “It was a huge inﬂuence on my ﬁrst book.”

California left its mark on the Idaho-born Bolin’s Dead Girls. “Dead-girl shows,” as the writer calls them — television programs that hinge on the disappearance of a teenage beauty queen or the like — are often set in L.A., as is much of the work of hardboiled crime writer Raymond Chandler. In fact, it seemed that the United States had, across diﬀerent mediums, something of an obsession with dead girls. So, from Twin Peaks to L.A. noir to the bloom of true crime as a subgenre, Bolin’s Dead Girls is “about crime, feminism, and the American West,” the author says.

NOTES FROM THE BLUFF CITY

Bolin’s career eventually brought her to Memphis, where she taught creative nonﬁction writing at the University of Memphis.

“There are so many things I feel like I’m still reckoning with or thinking about,” Bolin remembers. “Memphis means so much to me, and to my

husband, who is a musician.” The writer says that some of her Memphis memories exist in a haze of pandemic-induced murk, but, that being said, she mentions a few that possess the undeniable sheen of Memphis’ unique magic. She met and befriended Memphis-based poet Caki Wilkinson while living and working in the Bluff City, and Bolin and her husband were married at the courthouse in Memphis. Still, though she wrote the bulk of her forthcoming essay collection while in Memphis, the writer says the city’s influences on the work were more circumspect.

“My friendships and my experience at the university really influenced the book, but I don’t think that a person reading it would know. This one is a lot less about place and a lot more about the online space and the internet,” Bolin admits.

DIGITAL DATA AND MATERIAL GIRLS

Culture C reep is, in its own way, as much a work defined by a specific setting as Dead Girls, but that setting is a non-place instead of a location. Rather than focusing on the crimes, both real and fictional, of sunny California, Bolin instead dredges up the dark underbelly of the World Wide Web. And, surprising as that may seem, that aforementioned darkness is as present in work-out apps and cute animal-themed video games as in more unsavory digital spaces.

“I have a few pieces about YouTube and beauty YouTube and the influencer market,” Bolin says, by way of teasing out one of the collection’s recurring threads. The book compares the online influencer realm to teen magazines and women’s magazines. Bolin calls the latter a “disseminating factor of marketing and trends” and examines their sphere of influence and how it’s changed since the advent of social media. Regardless of the medium, the entire beauty industry seeks to control how women and girls conceive of their bodies — and, of course, to capitalize on those views.

Where consumers pay for magazines, however, we often give up access to our private data just to participate in social media, often to the lucrative benefit of the companies profiting off ad sales and data profile models. Bolin draws another parallel by inviting readers to consider exercise tracking apps and the like, suggesting that such app users conceptualize the body through technology. Therefore, that technology is instrumental in our own awareness of our bodies. In order to participate, Bolin explains, we sell our data — even our health data, something that ostensibly should be private — and the author wonders why we submit

so willingly to that level of surveillance.

“It essentially turns us all into products to be bought and sold. The ‘personal brand’ is the perfect example of that,” Bolin says, referencing the curated online image most social media users cultivate. “A bigger question to me is why we willingly sell ourselves, and sell ourselves so short.”

Capitalism and commerce, Bolin suggests, is a framing device for almost all digital interactions. Like so many other homebound individuals in search of comfort, Bolin found herself playing Animal Crossing during the pandemic. “So much of the activity [in the game] really is just shopping,” Bolin laughs, “and within the game that stands in for happiness.”

The internet, Bolin contends, is a revelatory invention, but the way we, as users, interact with it, even 25 years into the twenty-first century, still seems predicated on twentieth-century values. Will there be a break from the past? “Maybe we’ll look back and say, ‘Oh, that was the moment,’” the author muses.

Until that cultural awakening comes, Bolin says, “It feels like we’re living in this future that feels like the past.”

The Battle with Colossus

The residents of Boxtown find themselves pitted against a supercomputer. Who will win that fight?

BY TOM JONES

It’s a classic David versus Goliath story. Goliath, in this telling, is Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, who has built and is continuing to expand his supercomputer in South Memphis.

David is Boxtown, a proud South Memphis neighborhood of about 3,000 which has long struggled against intractable poverty, neglect, and exploitation.

Boxtown residents, with support from environmental activists, oppose Musk’s supercomputer, Colossus, concerned by Musk’s reputation for ignoring regulations and shrouding information behind non-disclosure agreements.

Located only a few miles from each other, the supercomputer and the neighborhood are worlds apart. Goliath has the tax breaks and lower electricity rates to prove his power.

e Greater Memphis Chamber said Colossus is a $12 billion project, but according to reporting by e Daily Memphian, xAI will pay taxes on a $2.2 billion assessment — an 82 percent reduction by the county assessor’s oﬃce. Homeowners in Boxtown — and the rest of Memphis, for that matter — will get no discounts on their tax bills.

Colossus has been approved for enough electricity to power 100,000 homes, the equivalent of all the homes in the six municipalities outside Memphis. Musk has said he will likely be asking for more. Although experts are raising alarms about the risk of supercomputers and data centers capsizing the country’s electrical systems, Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division says Colossus’ consumption will not aﬀect its customers.

Whatever amount of electricity Colossus consumes, its rate will be half of that paid by Boxtown’s human residents. at’s the diﬀerence between MLGW’s industrial rate and its signiﬁcantly higher residential rate.

It’s a dichotomy in rates that applies to every homeowner in Shelby County:

TVA charges MLGW $60/ MWh (megawatt hour) and MLGW in turn increases it by 6.7 percent for a ﬁnal industrial rate in Memphis and Shelby County of $64.

For residential customers, TVA charges MLGW $88/ MWh and MLGW increases

MLGW has the discretion to set the ﬁnal electricity rates, according to a TVA spokesperson: “TVA sets the wholesale rates and the local power companies pass those on. Local power companies have the ability to add their own charges on the retail level.”

Put another way, if the industrial rate was increased by MLGW at the same percentage as residential rates, industries would pay $83/MWh rather than $64/MWh, raising the question of whether MLGW could then decrease the residential rate.

MLGW has 76 industrial customers, and president and CEO Doug McGowen defends the difference in electricity rates, saying the costs of providing electricity

“We have one of the highest energy burdens in the country and citizen morale is low for so many thousands of Memphians. We do not need something like this to add to the ugly side of the city’s legacy that reeks with racism, lack of integrity, and accountability to its citizens.” — Pearl Walker

it 38.6 percent, charging residential customers $122.

e gap in rates led Pearl Walker, member of Memphis City Council District 3, co-chair of the council’s MLGW committee, and board member of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy and the Green Bank, to call it “concerning, predatory, and indeﬁnitely not acceptable.”

“We have one of the highest energy burdens in the country and citizen morale is low for so many thousands of Memphians,” Walker said. “We do not need something like this to add to the ugly side of the city’s legacy that reeks with racism, lack of integrity, and accountability to its citizens.”

More than 48 percent of Memphians face high energy burdens, and 30,000 families pay more than 20 percent of their incomes for energy.

for homes is much more involved than it is to industry. He said: “MLGW’s cost to serve varies among class based on the complexity and quantity of infrastructure necessary to serve that class of customer. In short, there is signiﬁcantly more infrastructure per KWh (kilowatt-hour) necessary to serve residential customers when compared to the infrastructure per KWh necessary to serve industrial customers.” at residential infrastructure requires signiﬁcantly more circuits, transformers, poles, fuses and switches, and circuit breakers, he said.

TVA’s propensity to stonewall Freedom of Information Act requests makes it diﬃcult to trace the evolution of the industrial rate, although 1933’s TVA Act does say that it “shall be considered primarily for the beneﬁt of the people of the section as a whole and particularly the

domestic and rural consumers to show the power can economically be made available, and accordingly, that sale to and use by industry shall be a secondary purpose.”

at’s why the late David Freeman, former TVA board chair, complained that industrial rates ﬂy in the face of TVA’s founding mandate to “improve the lives of low-income families with cheap electricity” and charged that residential customers are being used to subsidize industrial customers. “ ey are doing just the opposite of what the TVA Act requires. For 70 years or more, TVA earned the love and aﬀection of people in the Tennessee Valley and now, they are doing the opposite of what the TVA Act requires.”

Dr. Stephen A. Smith, executive director of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, agreed: “ e industrial rate was created to subsidize low residential rates, but industrial customers started lobbying TVA and threatened to move to other states. It resulted in sweetheart deals from TVA. After all, industrial customers have unique access to TVA and to local utility companies like Memphis Light, Gas and Water and that helps explain the sweetheart rates. TVA is hiding the ball on how it’s manipulating rates to the advantage of big industrial customers at the expense of families and small businesses.”

Meanwhile, TVA’s board increased its base power rates by 5.25 percent last year after a raise of 4.5 percent the year before. e cumulative increase of 9.75 percent over two years kept TVA from reaching the 10 percent threshold that would have allowed local power companies like MLGW to renegotiate their contracts.

Eﬀective January 3rd, MLGW’s increased its electricity rates by 4 percent, part of the 12 percent hike approved over three years. e disparity between industrial and residential rates was not addressed.

IRediscovering Memphis’ KEH BEAUIN

BY ANDREW ROSS

t’s late afternoon, unseasonably warm, the final day of February 2023, and I am standing in the shadows of the Harahan Bridge on the Mississippi’s Arkansas side when Jimmy Crosthwait dials my phone. A few hours earlier, over tacos in Cooper-Young, I had sat down with the artist-musician and longtime Memphis treasure to learn about his long-ago friendship with a mostly forgotten poet named Kenneth Beaudoin.

Now, Crosthwait has called me back to clarify a point. It has to do with Beaudoin’s “wonderful” reading voice. Suddenly, though, as if he’s had something else in mind all along, he shifts to the subject of another deceased poet friend — one Harvey Goldner — whom Beaudoin inﬂuenced. Crosthwait asks if he can share a poem of Goldner’s called “ e Resurrection of Bert Ringold.” He begins to read, and within a few stanzas, I understand this is a poem about an exhumation. “With a childish prayer and a crowbar, you pry open the lid of the casket,” Crosthwait incants in a wonderful reading voice of his own. en I hear:

Inside, a nice surprise: Inside there is nothing but a diamond, a crystal as big as a Civil War cannonball. It shines from within, it dazzles your eyes like a late afternoon sunshine blazing on the Mississippi River, once upon a time …

Crosthwait has no idea that I am gazing at that very moment on the river he’s invoking. Nor does he know that I’ve spent the hours since our lunch interview trespassing my way through the ﬁelds and forests south of the bridge, trying to pinpoint the plot where Beaudoin once kept a cabin retreat and writing studio.

Similarly, Crosthwait is unaware that it was his own colorful account of meeting Beaudoin — pronounced “BOH-dwin” — at the cabin for the ﬁrst time in the early 1960s that inspired me, on a whim, to drive into Arkansas and take this hike by the

river. (In Crosthwait’s account, his teenage self had just ingested a healthy dose of peyote — “at the time it was legal,” he told me with a grin — before encountering Beaudoin, dressed in sandals and a sarong and “looking like a Hotei Budda” as the poet lugged buckets of water to his corn garden.)

What Crosthwait certainly has no way of knowing is that his impromptu reading has entranced me, that hearing it in this context, in this place — the Memphis skyline shimmering across the water, the bridge’s ghostly stone piers rising up around me — I have fallen into a portal of sorts, a momentary time warp that even as it fades has left an imprint.

When Crosthwait finishes, I feel an urge to explain the serendipity of his call. I want to tell him also what he’s unwittingly conjured: how somewhere in the midst of his poem about a boy hacking into a casket, I had caught a glimpse of Beaudoin, the “poet laureate of the river” himself, hard at work in his ramshackle studio, his walls surrounded by driftwood and arrowheads and sherds of pottery. And beyond that, briefly, was a flash of the primordial Central Mississippi Valley that Beaudoin always searched for in his best work. Thankfully, I have the good sense to keep these things to myself. To pick apart such a moment would risk killing it. And besides, I realize, Crosthwait probably knows more than he’s letting on. Because of course it was no accident that he chose this one poem about the river and a shining crystal, and the surprises that might be in store when digging up the dead.

In the two-plus years that have passed since that warm February afternoon, I have taken on new projects beyond researching Beaudoin’s writings and life. I have moved on as well from calling the Bluﬀ City home. Yet I have not been able to shake the feeling that there is something in this obscure poet’s story that’s calling out to be exhumed.

To that end, I’ve located others beyond Crosthwait who knew the man. I’ve continued to read through Beaudoin’s Memphis archives, and I’ve requested scans of his correspondence scattered in writers’ collections across the country. The picture that’s emerged, like the river that served as Beaudoin’s muse, is murky and full of shifting sands. Yet one thing is clear: A stark and very odd disconnect exists between Beaudoin’s talent, prolific output, and connections to some of the deepest currents of American avant-garde thought, and the degree to which his name has slipped toward oblivion.

How did it happen that a poet once championed and mentored by William Carlos Williams is now forgotten and entirely out of print? How did it happen that a poet who was read deeply by e.e. cummings, who corresponded with Ezra Pound and Randall Jarrell and countless other lesser-known lights, has barely emerged as a footnote in American letters? Similarly, how is it not better known that Beaudoin, first in New Orleans’ French Quarter, then as a gallerist and editor in New York City, led a brief but very real charge to reshape his generation’s conceptions of art and literature?

Even in underground art circles, few today have heard of Iconograph , the literary journal Beaudoin founded and ran between 1940 and 1947. Fewer still have heard of Galerie Neuf, the Upper East Side art gallery he opened as an extension of his publication. Yet through those mediums, along with his own experimental poetry, he became the force behind a short-lived post-war modernist movement — the Indian Space Painters — that would eventually be described as “one of the peaks in the mountain range of American culture at mid-century.”

All this is to say nothing of the “father figure”-like role that Beaudoin played within his hometown’s cultural milieu. In Memphis, the city where he accomplished most of his writing, the city where he was constantly teaching younger poets and promoting their work and modeling, by example, a muddy-river-tinged joie de vivre , he managed to seed the ground with vitally needed intellectual energy, in the process influencing a whole generation of creatives and countercultural rebels.

Kenneth Lawrence Beaudoin was born in Michigan in 1913 but moved to Memphis at the age of 12, when his father accepted a job as a supervisor for the local Fisher Body Company plant. e family settled into a modest bungalow in Vollintine-Evergreen. Beaudoin, an only child, grew into a precocious and intelligent teen. He excelled in public speaking at Catholic High School, and in 1932 enrolled at West Tennessee Teachers College, where he immersed himself in academics. A glance at his 1935 yearbook proﬁle reveals him ﬂashing a beaming smile next to a long list of leadership roles in foreign language clubs and the arts.

After graduation, Beaudoin brieﬂy attended Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. He then moved to New Orleans and took a job with the WPA’s Federal Writers Project. Most signiﬁcantly, he began to regularly publish poetry and discover his identity as an artist.

“We were all young then and madly in pursuit of some redeeming beauty which would be our salvation,” he later wrote of this time. “It was an exciting period

breakdown. Whatever prompted the move, by early 1949, he was back in Memphis living with his parents. Beaudoin, who was gay, maintained a conflicted relationship with his hometown. He also had a difficult time with his father. By contrast, his mother Ruth, or Bid as he called her, was his closest confidant. If he wasn’t entirely open about his sexuality, it doesn’t seem to have been much of a secret either. What’s most apparent is the skill with which he navigated the stultifying social mores of his time and place. Somehow, he managed to remain true to himself and his bohemian identity without ever shedding the discreteness that his existence as a gay man in the South required.

is balancing act became especially apparent when Beaudoin, a few years after moving home, took a job as a clerk with the Memphis Police Department. By night, often dressed in ﬂower-print shirts and rubber sandals, he typed reports for the MPD’s detectives division. By day, he wrote poetry and composed his collage-like works he termed “eye poems.” As far as he was concerned, it made perfect sense. “It is more interesting, more dramatic … a place where you have a glass pointed at the tabus [sic] of the locale … on the human creature under stress,” he wrote to a friend about his job.

for us … for somehow all of us felt we were entering a new period of human awareness which at least had not happened before in the South … .” is sort of ambition imbued the ﬁrst issues of Iconograph Beaudoin published from his French Quarter apartment. Later, in New York, seeking out the “new methods of artistic contact,” he carried his ambition even further: By the late 1940s, he was working 20-hour days and writing that he and his circle were “together being dragged toward artistic responsibilities to our generation it almost frightens me to realize.”

If all this weren’t enough to secure Beaudoin’s status as “Memphis’ foremost exponent of the avant-garde,” his passion for the ancient history of the Central Mississippi Valley added yet another layer. Over the next two-and-a-half decades, even as he published essays and reviews and some two dozen small books of poetry, he became equally known as a self-taught archaeologist and rockhound. Frequently, he could be found roaming the shoreline around Presidents Island or near his Arkansas cabin. e most valuable ﬁnds he polished and gave away as prizes for the annual “Gemstones” poetry award he established. By the 1970s, Beaudoin had fully embraced his reputation as part “elder poet” and mentor, part local guru of all things related to the Mississippi River.

“It was an exciting period for us … or somehow all of us felt we were entering a new period of huma awareness which at least had

Strangely though, at this very moment when Beaudoin’s aesthetic vision seemed to be breaking through, he made the decision to permanently leave New York. Financial struggles were the cause, he claimed. But judging by the “sickness” and “little shock” he suﬀered during the “bad winter” of 1948, he likely had a nervous

not happened before in the Sout ….” — enneth Beaudoin

His story from this point forward darkens, however. Beaudoin developed diabetes, and this, combined with a lifetime of heavy drinking and smoking, sent his health spiraling. In 1981, around the time he retired from the MPD, he went blind. When his mother died the following year, he was forced to seek care elsewhere. A series of strokes followed. Soon, he was bound to a wheelchair and living under the care of a friend and former actor named Cliﬀ Middleton.

Other than Middleton, few people seem to have remained in regular contact with Beaudoin at this stage. One exception was Nick Canterucci, an artist and writer who happened to move in next door to Middleton’s home on Tutwiler. A native of Michigan, Canterucci had long been interested in postwar countercultural history. Not only did he recognize the name of Middleton’s roommate, he deeply admired his work. Even in Beaudoin’s dimin-

ished state, Canterucci developed a rapport with the older poet that lasted until Beaudoin’s death in 1995. Afterward, when Middleton moved to California, Canterucci salvaged what remained of Beaudoin’s latestage papers and sent them to the University of Buﬀalo’s poetry collection. “I’m extremely grateful I caught him at the end,” Canterucci says, when asked about his friendship with Beaudoin. “It was like going to school. at’s how I viewed him. is guy was it. His command of the language, how he could take words and sentences and made you visualize in your mind what he was writing about. … You might see a little more even than what he intended. Not many writers have that gift.”

Ispirits in the Spring wind, for their dream — e New World — its realization, is this good land on which we live.

Notwithstanding the nostalgia (and possible creative license) involved in his ancestor’s rendering, the passage reveals just how deeply Beaudoin had absorbed the Mississippi River’s creative powers upon his return to Memphis. He began to pour enormous energy into visiting archaeologically signiﬁcant sites. He often traveled with his mother (with Ruth apparently driving since her son never learned). e trips inspired his poetry. But they also encompassed genuine ﬁeld work.

In 1950, Beaudoin self-published a comprehensive survey of a neglected site near Marked Tree, Arkansas, called the Warren Mounds. He subsequently wrote two small books translating into poetry Native American myths. One of these, e Papao Genesis, and Two Other Legends of Origin, was described by a reviewer as “one of the most fascinating little books I have had the pleasure of coming across … .”

By 1954, well into this “new period,” Beaudoin had fully fused his poetic explorations of the Central Mississippi Valley with his practical archaeological pursuits. He became instrumental in founding the Memphis Archaeological and Geological Society, the Nodena Foundation in Wilson, Arkansas, and led some of the earliest digs at what would become Chucalissa. He wrote essays such as “An Adventure into the Prehistory of the Memphis Area,” and “Note on the Uncovering of a Disturbed Burial at the Big Eddy Site in St. Francis County, Arkansas.”

Beaudoin became instrumental in founding the emphis rchaeological and eological Society, as well as the Nodena Founation in Wilson, Aransas.

n 1949, shortly after he’d left New York, one of the ﬁ rst projects Beaudoin completed was a history of his paternal French-Canadian forebears. e text is hardly a standard genealogy. Beaudoin, in his trademark fashion, meanders into side narratives throughout. e most colorful deals with a Jesuit missionary ancestor who came to America in 1667 and traveled the frontier settlements spread between Quebec and New Orleans.

“How I envy him those trips down the untouched Mississippi,” Beaudoin writes. Later, referencing the other “forgotten members” of his family, he continues:

“Somehow I seem to think I can feel their blood and ashes in the turgid power of the Mississippi, the river down which old Jean Baudouin paddled his weary bones in his old age to fund a mission among the Chickasaws, which is now the city in which I live; Memphis, on the Chickasaw bluﬀs. Somehow I seem tofeel their

His best-known work from this period was “Bayou Gayoso,” a haunting, long-form poem that reimagined the storied tributary running beneath the streets of Memphis. Reviewing the poem, the novelist and Beat poet Lawrence Lipton described Beaudoin as a “pro-spiritual and anti-material” writer whose “closest kin in style as well as content” was William Carlos Williams. Beaudoin, he continued, “points a ﬁnger toward a sacramentalized way of life, a vision of life made holy, rather than toward any blueprint of social or political organization. [His] rememberings of things past and his vision of the future are as valid for the North as for the South, for America and for the world.”

As Lipton’s review suggests, Beaudoin was more than a regional Southern poet. For all of his concerns with the local, and as relatively provincial as his existence may have been on the surface, Beaudoin maintained throughout his life a thrillingly expansive imagination. His commitment to explore the “new spiritual landscape” of mid-century America is what led him to constantly push boundaries in both his lifestyle and art. At the same time, he remained extraordinarily attuned to going inside ordinary moments — to the “apotheosis of the immediate,” as he called it. “I am a creature of now — this transient, living, pulsing now,” he once wrote.

Nowhere brought him closer to the “pulsing now” than his “little studio on the other side of the River.”

He’d acquired the cabin and small plot of land it sat on around 1960; he named it Innisfree (after Yeats’ famous poem). e place was primitive in the extreme. It lacked plumbing. e only heat came from a wood-burning stove. Despite being elevated on stilts and set back from the river, it ﬂooded in high water.

Regardless, Beaudoin loved it. In a 1961 letter to Williams, he described it as “just a little ﬁsherman’s shack” situated on a “rather wonderful little piece of land that goes back to a Spanish land grant.” All around him were “old twisted trees that have been through so many high waters they are not even straight.” Inviting the famous older poet to visit, he told him, “I have a good cook stove and I’ll bake you a chicken.” Toward the letter’s end, Beaudoin mentioned something else as well: ere in his house by the river he’d started to write a new group of poems he called Mississippi River Suite

Beaudoin would work on these poems for the next decade and a half. He published most of them in a three-part “River Cycle” series that appeared in his award-winning 1970 book, Selected Poems and Eye-Poems, 1940-1970. “River Cycle #4” appeared in 1975 as a separate small book, the cover of which featured a grinning Beaudoin wading in a ﬂood-stage Mississippi. It is here, in the meditative bursts of the “River Cycle” poems, that Beaudoin brought his singular perceptions into sharpest focus.

e poems are stripped down and infused with a touch of Eastern mysticism. One reviewer praised the author for writing with the “strength and delicacy comparable to a Japanese brushstroke.” As Beaudoin reﬂects on

the ﬂoods and lightning storms and changing seasons he observed at Innisfree — and simultaneously, the changes within his own body and spirit as he declined — he crystallizes the sensory-driven moments of his poems’ creations in ways that startle the reader. e poems are ultimately about mortality. ey are also, in my opinion, the closest he got to that “apotheosis of the immediate” he was always chasing.

The “River Cycle” poems are on the whole melancholy in tone. Yet Beaudoin was no reclusive monk or abstinent oreau. When he writes of the “gay parties on the sand” and the “summer children” who gathered in evenings “full of song,” he is hinting at the thing that I heard most consistently in my interviews with the few remaining voices who knew him well: Innisfree, along with being a creative refuge, was a hell of a lot of fun. e poet Richard Tillinghast, who called Beaudoin a “most extraordinary man,” remembers coming to Innisfree in the 1960s and “lazing on the riverbank” while reading Rimbaud’s Illuminations. “He had things ﬁgured out and one of the best things he did was to acquire his shack,” Tillinghast says. “[It was] really a fun place to hang out.” Others who immediately brought up the subject of Beaudoin’s river gatherings include the writer James Conaway, the Memphis historian Douglas Cupples, and Francis Cowden, a poet who called Innisfree “a special place.” Crosthwait, of course, was also a fan — so much so that after that ﬁ rst

PEEL LAW FIRM

David B. Peel, Injury Attorney

Q & A with the Attorney:

Q. What kinds of cases do you handle?

A. I just resolved a hit and run for 1.7 million; recently successfully sued a bar for overserving the DUI driver in a wrongful death; I have done car wrecks, accidental shootings, falls, pedestrian strikes, tractor trailer crashes, for almost 30 years now.

Q. Why do you keep your injury law firm small, despite all your success?

A. My clients get personal service — not a number at a big, impersonal factory.

Q. You do the Facebook history videos, you’ve authored books and written countless articles and often speak to community groups — but no lawyer commercials on TV?

A. I’m only on TV when interviewed.

Q. So your client-therapy goldendoodle is “CrashtheLawDog?”

A. Yes, he is a rockstar — with his own Instagram and Facebook.

Q. You have spent two years renovating the new Arlington office?

A. A true labor of love on this 110-year-old historic home on Arlington’s Historic Depot Square. Three generations of Peels sharecropped fields just 900 feet from it.

Q. You have enjoyed the highest possible attorney ratings and professional rankings from both your peers and your clients for many years now — how do you feel about such accolades?

A. It’s an honor; but honestly, I’m more blessed by how many of my cases are referrals of satisfied clients, opposing lawyers, or even when other lawyers hire me for their own injury cases.

psychedelic-infused afternoon he rented a cabin of his own for the summer in a nearby ﬁeld. “It was completely unique from almost anything I’d seen,” Crosthwait says of Beaudoin’s retreat. But perhaps the best surviving glimpse into Innisfree’s revelry can be seen today in the form of a bronze fountain sculpture that rests in the backyard of the esteemed Memphis artist John McIntire. The sculpture, which McIntire completed during the pandemic and named River Man , depicts a nude man happily swilling a beer at the same time he urinates. He drew his inspiration from his memory of visiting Innisfree for the first time and witnessing the “Dean of Memphis Poets” performing that very act. McIntire and Beaudoin subsequently formed a close friendship grounded in their shared bohemian lifestyles. “We had parties over there,” recalls the now 90-yearold McIntire. “There were Christmas lights hanging in the trees, everybody drinking beer, laughing, a lot of other writers.”

In 2023, when McIntire showcased River Man at the New Art Dealers Alliance fair in Miami, he kept mum on the full backstory. e piece’s narrative merely described a “well-known poet” whose act represented “eternal consumption and expulsion that is both comical and melancholic.” Soon though, as McIntire ﬁelded more interest in River Man, he opened up about Beaudoin. Two of McIntire’s younger artist friends, Matt Ducklo and Dale McNeil, already knew of Beaudoin but began to grow increasingly fascinated. Of particular interest were the thousands of Eye-Poems that Beaudoin had produced and haphazardly given away over the course of his life. e result, in late 2024, was an exhibition of Eye-Poemsthat opened at Ducklo’s Tops Gallery, in the basement of a downtown building. e show, “In the Hands of a Poet,” was accompanied by a printed catalogue of the same name produced by McNeil. When I reached Ducklo and McNeil to let them know that I too had been pulled into the rabbit hole of Beaudoin’s unlikely story, both artists were initially a bit taken aback. Yet the more we talked and shared, it didn’t seem so surprising. And that’s because the trail that Beaudoin left behind, however hazy it might be 30 years after his death, is one that could only have been blazed by a true original — by an artist who’d committed, for better or worse, and in a soul-deep kind of way, to what William Carlos Williams once described as a “meticulous devotion to … keep writing on the new path.”

TRANSPLANT MEDICINE - HEART

DR. MARQUITA NELSON

When she peers into the microscope at a drop of blood, Dr. Marquita Nelson, a hematologist at the Regional One Health Diggs-Kraus Sickle Cell Clinic, says it’s like a mystery unfolds before her. She’s the detective, the blood cells her clues. “I love the idea that you can look at a patient’s blood and figure out what’s going on,” she says. “Every day, I feel like I’m learning something new.”

Nelson has always been interested in what goes on beneath the surface of the skin. When she was young, she would look through her mom Carolyn’s anatomy books from nursing school. “The muscles, the bones, the joints, and all of that was really neat,” she says. “I was always interested in science as a kid. So, as I looked into medicine more and more, I really loved the idea that you could combine your passion

are very much needed. “If you never see somebody like me [a classical hematologist], you don’t know that we exist.”

Yet Nelson, who often trains fellows at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, isn’t discouraged. “I think that a lot of my mission is to expose more and more trainees to the field,” she says.

She offers another reason for hope. “It’s an exciting time to be a hematologist if you’re practicing in sickle-cell disease-related disorders,” Nelson says. When she started medical school at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, only one medication was FDAapproved to treat sickle-cell disease; now there are four. And, in December 2023, the FDA approved bone marrow transplant gene therapy for sickle cell disease — “a potential cure,” she says. “It’s so exciting to be able to have more to offer my patients.”

for science and inquiry as well as help people, including people who look like yourself and are maybe underserved and underrepresented.”

Even though she’s trained in oncology and hematology, Nelson has focused her practice on noncancerous but often life-threatening conditions in hematology — from sickle-cell disease to anemia. “There’s a shortage of people like me,” she explains.

“We call ourselves benign or classical hematologists, and it’s a truly unmet need. I find that, for me, I can have a greater impact doing that.”

Part of the reason for a lack of classical hematologists has to do with incoming doctors’ limited exposure to the field. It’s almost a cyclical trap: Fewer classical hematologists mean fewer mentors for future classical hematologists who

After all, her patients are what first attracted her to the field. “They had a very good sickle-cell program [at Emory],” she says. “I just loved the patient population because there are patients that you get to take care of for their whole lives, and they’re very grateful and very wonderful patients who are strong and courageous.”

And these days, patient care has become even more personal for Nelson as she and her husband, Marshall, advocate for their 2-year-old son Shepherd’s healthcare. “He has a rare genetic disorder,” Nelson says. “So I’m able to experience both the challenges that I face as a physician advocating for my patients, but also as a parent advocating for my child. It’s opened my eyes to a lot of the difficulties in navigating the healthcare system. … If I can use my influence for good and give patients what they need, I’m going to.” — Abigail Morici

DR. TYLER BROLIN

T he proverb, “Physician, heal thyself” comes to mind in any discussion of the medical career of Dr. Tyler Brolin, an orthopaedic specialist with Campbell Clinic since 2017.

Born and raised in Fargo, North Dakota, Brolin tore his ACL playing quarterback for his high school football team. “At the time, this was certainly disappointing,” he says, “but I had a wonderful experience with the surgeon that took care of me and was quickly inspired to become an orthopaedic surgeon. So, since the age of 15, a career in medicine has been my focus and passion.”

After earning his undergraduate degree from Concordia College in Minnesota, Brolin studied medicine at the University of North Dakota. For a while, he considered cardiothoracic surgery and neurosurgery, but “what led me back to a career in orthopae-

am fortunate to be selected for this year’s American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Traveling Fellowship,” he says, “where I will spend September and October traveling to different institutions across Europe, sharing techniques and ideas regarding shoulder surgery.”

Not very long ago, surgeons replaced only part of the shoulder joint — either the ball joint on the top of the arm, or the socket joint in the shoulder. In recent years, total shoulder replacement has become the gold standard. “That has totally revolutionized shoulder surgery,” says Brolin. “It is a very reliable treatment and has very reliable pain relief and return to function. At Campbell, we have done a lot of pioneering work on shoulder replacements, where patients go home the same day as their surgery, as well as opioid-sparing protocols where patients take little to no opioid pain medications after the procedure.”

dics was the interaction many orthopaedic surgeons have with their patients,” he says. “I love seeing how they are doing overall whether it’s travel, a golf game, or athletics. As patients live more active lives and live longer, I enjoy returning function and alleviating pain to increase their quality of life.”

There’s an added personal benefit to orthopaedic surgery, he says. “I get to work with my hands, which I enjoy, and utilize some of the latest technology while performing a wide variety of procedures.”

Brolin is an expert in total shoulder replacement surgery. After completing his orthopaedic surgery residency at the University of Tennessee - Campbell Clinic, he completed a year of shoulder and elbow training at one of the premier training programs in the world, the Rothman Institute in Philadelphia. “I also

He remembers his most challenging — and rewarding — cases. “One patient had been in physical therapy for years and saw multiple providers for her scapular winging, where her shoulder blade was unstable due to lack of muscular control,” he recalls. This was particularly frustrating because the young woman was a college basketball player. “I performed a complex tendon transfer where I disconnected her pectoralis major and transferred it to her shoulder blade to help with control. She went on to a fantastic recovery and was able to play basketball afterwards.”

Overall, total shoulder replacement can allow patients to return to activity with little to no pain and a high degree of function. “Patients want an efficient surgery experience that minimizes disruption in their lives,” Brolin says, “so expanding their experience, where they do not have to stay in the hospital after their procedure, and allow for less pain, is a particular focus of mine.” — Michael Finger

DR. VIOLIZA INOA

T he practice of medicine runs in the family of Dr. Violiza Inoa, a neurologist with Semmes Murphey Clinic. Her father is an anesthesiologist, and growing up in the Dominican Republic,

“I had that example,” she says.

“I was very used to hospitals.”

Beyond the family connection, Inoa says she was attracted to medicine because “I always felt that I lived in a country where I needed to give back to the community, and I felt that medicine would be a very good way of doing that.”

When she began studying medicine, “I learned about neuroanatomy, and I was fascinated by it. I really think the brain is the coolest organ in the body,” she says. “In 2025, we still do not understand really well how it works. We’re still investigating how we can understand and heal the brain. So when I learned

to follow that path. Some women think that medicine is not a compatible career with a family, and I want them to look at people like me and other physicians that have a family and a life outside of medicine, who feel very passionate about their careers. We’re doing research and we are in positions of leadership.”

Inoa is currently an associate professor of neurology and neurosurgery at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in addition to her practice at Semmes Murphey. She says her work in advanced, early intervention for stroke patients is especially important in the Mid-South, an area which has been called the “stroke belt.”

“We live in an area where strokes have higher rates of disability and death,” she says. “We have younger patients having more strokes than anywhere else in the United States,” she says.

about it, I was blown away.”

And that’s not all she discovered in medical school. That’s where she met her husband, Dr. Andres Ramos, now a child and adolescent psychiatrist.

“We met when we were 21,” she says, “and I think that helps, growing together and having a good understanding of each other’s passion and where we are headed in life.”

They have two daughters together, Sofia and Emma.

“They’re very active. They’re very different. One of them looks exactly like my husband, and the other one looks exactly like me. It’s super cute!”

Does she think her daughters will follow their parents into the medical field?

“I would not be surprised, because first of all, they see what I do,” she says. “It’s important that we encourage women interested in medicine

After years of success in the United States, she never forgot her original goal of giving back to the community she came from. “How can you connect to your origins? I struggled with that for a little bit, and then I found an opportunity by enhancing education in stroke care in the Caribbean and in my country.”

Since 2019, Inoa has been working to educate doctors that practice neuro intervention. “We started in the Caribbean, expanded to Latin America, and now we’re essentially global. I’m leading efforts under the World Stroke Organization to teach doctors to do stroke thrombectomy — stroke surgery from inside the vessels.”

This work has been extremely rewarding, she says, “but I’m not going to lie to you. I started medicine, followed the path, and then had some difficulty looping around before finding my way back to what I really wanted to do.” — Chris McCoy

DR. LEONARD “JEFF” HARRIS

I wanted to be a doctor in the 10th grade after hearing a family physician describe a day in the life of his practice in Texas,” says Dr. Leonard Harris, a hematologist and medical oncologist with West Cancer Center. “He was a colorful storyteller and inspired me to be curious about people, their problems, and human physiology.”

Harris began his medical career in internal medicine, but “after 10 years I was reviewing clinical trial data for immunotherapies in cancer care,” says. “I was amazed at the progress that had been made,” he says. “At the same time, we thought that my little sister’s colon cancer had returned, but thankfully it was a false alarm. Considering all that, I was hooked. I wanted to devote the rest of my career to cancer treatment.”

Harris grew up in Texas, the

West Cancer Center in 2023.

“My areas of focus include treating adults with abnormal bleeding/clotting and abnormal bone marrow function. I feel like that is a very broad range of disorders; staying on top of my field requires diligence and humility. These types of medical conditions require coordination of multiple disciplines, and I find detailed conversations with other specialists involved in my patient’s care rewarding.”

At West, Harris is directly involved in the same kinds of clinical trials that had impressed him years earlier.

“Sometimes the best option for my patients is to receive care on a research protocol,” he says. “For example, one Phase III study is for patients who are receiving a suboptimal response to the standard treatment for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. We are adding a novel medication taken as a tablet daily to see if the synergy between the two agents will lead to patients living longer and better lives.”

son of a Baptist preacher, but the family moved to Georgia when he was a teenager. He earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Georgia and his M.D. from the Medical College of Georgia. During his residency in internal medicine and pediatrics at Vanderbilt, he met his future wife, who was finishing her internship in dietetics, and they began to raise a family in Nashville.

“Vanderbilt was a particularly good place for me to train as a physician,” he says. “I had mentors that pushed me to focus my energies and dig deeply into projects rather than dabble.”

He eventually became a chief resident at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

The Harris family moved to Memphis in 2010, and after a three-year fellowship at UTHSC, joined the staff of

Medical techniques and treatment have advanced at a rapid pace. “The rise of targeted treatment options has been the headline for the past decade,” he says. “We have many more options for the diseases I treat than we had 10 years ago, and 50 novel medications were approved in oncology in 2024 alone.”

Early detection is crucial. “The earlier we detect the problem, the better the outcome typically is. An excellent primary-care provider will save more lives than I ever will. Early detection, expert consultation, and efficient delivery of care are key to good hematologic and oncologic outcomes.”

This is good news when people receive the bad news of a cancer diagnosis. “I frequently tell my patients that we may not have a silver bullet for their problem,” he says, “but today we have lots of ammo.” — Michael Finger

DR. KISHORE ARCOT created Memphis Vein Center with our patients in mind. Every patient is unique, and we treat you like family. Dr. Arcot has seven board certifications, including interventional cardiology, cardiology, venous/lymphatic disease, and vascular and endovascular medicine. He received his cardiovascular training at the University of California/San Francisco and has trained several practicing cardiologists in peripheral vascular percutaneous intervention. Dr. Arcot was voted most compassionate and favorite physician from 2010-2025 by vitals.com. Memphis Cardiology and Vein Center was voted among the best clinics in The Commercial Appeal from 2014 through 2025. Dr. Arcot treats all types of vascular problems, from the simple to the complex, including varicose veins, DVT, peripheral arterial disease, leg ulcers, and May-Thurner syndrome. Dr. Arcot and his highly qualified, board-certified medical team offer comprehensive treatment for all vascular conditions, including venous and arterial diseases. Varicose veins are abnormal veins that occur in the legs. They can present as thin purple lines (called spider veins), or they can appear as thick, bulging, or knotty veins.

SYMPTOMS OF VARICOSE VEINS:

• Achy, tired, heavy feeling in the area of the varicose veins

• Leg cramps, restless legs at night

• Burning or throbbing pain along the swelling with the legs

• Itching, rashes, bleeding

• Discoloration of the foot

• Discoloration of the legs

• Non-healing ulcers

• History of blood clots

• Pain with menstrual cycle.

While most will think the varicose veins are simply a cosmetic issue, an underlying medical problem causes varicose veins: It’s called venous reflux/venous insufficiency/venous obstruction. In a normal vein, the valves are to move the blood back to the heart. When a valve malfunctions, causing the blood to pool in the vein, a disorder known as venous insufficiency/venous reflux/venous obstruction can cause varicose veins. The procedure to fix varicose veins is covered by most insurance companies. Memphis Vein Center is an outpatient state-of-the-art nationally accredited vascular facility (IAC) and offers all modalities to diagnose and treat varicose veins, including endovenous laser ablation treatment (EVLT), radiofrequency (RF), Varithena, Venaseal, and Clairvein, as well as ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy and a microsurgical procedure called Phlebectomy. Please visit memphisvein.com for further information about varicose veins, including personal testimonials, before-and-after pictures, and to schedule a consultation with Memphis Vein Center.

A conversation with St. Jude CEO James Downing.

BY FRANK MURTAUGH

We included a profile of Dr. James Downing in the July 2014 issue of Memphis Magazine, the very month he was named the new CEO of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The world has changed over the last 11 years and we wanted to catch up with the renowned research scientist.

I imagine the last decade has flown by. What have you learned about yourself since being named CEO in 2014? What I’ve learned to appreciate is that everyone changes as they go through life, as they age. Your perspective changes. The energy and short-term urgency of youth gets replaced with, hopefully, wisdom and long-term views. As a young man, it was playing baseball or doing science. Now, it’s leading and mentoring the next generation. I find myself focused on things I would never have done as a young man.

I don’t drink scotch anymore, but as an analogy I’ll offer this. My taste for scotch evolved over the years. I was at a neurobiology seminar and a man was talking about taste receptors, and how they change as you age. Some disappear and others emerge. That’s why your palate changes. Some of that is the wiring of your brain as you go through experiences. Where you can provide the most value changes as you age. I’m okay with that.

St. Jude’s expansion under your leadership is remarkable to the naked eye. But beyond the new buildings, how is the hospital different today than it was when you assumed your current position?

We started seeing our role differently as an institution. We started realizing that we could do things that nobody else could do. We needed

to expand our look. We had this mothership in Memphis, but we were much more than that. We are collaborating with affiliates and other centers across the United States. We had our International Outreach Program. We needed to expand significantly.

Our vision is to be a global institution. We’re going to impact the way kids are treated everywhere in the world, and we’re going to be known everywhere in the world. We’re going to be asked to be a part of discussions on all issues affecting kids with catastrophic diseases, no matter where it is. We can provide input that nobody else can. It’s that philosophical shift. This is where the science occurs and where we develop concepts, but we constantly look outside. We need to assemble everybody to work together, to change the way medicine is practiced.

We have the most incredible fundamental science in the world occurring on this campus. The Structural Biology Department. The new Department of Imaging Sciences. The Center for Cryo-Electron Tomography. This is giving us new insights into normal biology and disease pathogenesis. It’s allowing us to think of new ways to treat these lethal, catastrophic diseases. It’s bringing people who don’t work on pediatric cancer into thinking about pediatric cancer. We bring all these teams together — and they’ve said it’s the best meeting they’ve been to in their lives — and it’s happening on this campus.

We’ve expanded into new diseases. We began to understand some of these rare neurodevelopmental diseases. We understand what the mutation is. Could we start treating those? We could build the best program in the world here. So we developed the Pediatric Translational Neuroscience Initiative. The first patient ever treated in utero (for spinal muscular

atrophy) was done here at St. Jude. The child is several years old with no symptoms. So we’re looking at other diseases that we can do that for.

How did the pandemic impact St. Jude, and are there lingering effects?

It helped us consider where we can provide value in understanding infectious diseases that other places can’t. We think it’s that biology interface. The pandemic was a horrible event. We learned a lot about Covid-19 and risk to kids with cancer and disruption and chemotherapy, and we conducted studies in repositories and registries across the world, and you know, essentially, we’re able to develop guidelines on how to treat these children and what to watch out for.

In some respects, it had a positive impact on the institution, because it brought people together. The world may be in turmoil around us, but we have a responsibility to these kids, and kids like them everywhere. How do we learn from this? How do we disseminate that information?

We developed our own testing and screening protocols. We were able to prevent spreading from patients to employees, or from employees to patients. [The pandemic] was not a good thing, but we learned a lot from it. We went through it as a community and came out stronger because of that. We have playbooks that we can utilize if something like that ever occurs again. A lot of our workforce was remote, but we kept them engaged and informed.

Have you been able to stay active with research in your administrative role? How do you balance the two?

At a certain point, you’re no longer playing baseball. You’re managing baseball. At a

certain point, you’re in the general manager’s office and not even managing the game. I’ll continue to work [after retirement], but it won’t be back in the laboratory. It will be where I can bring the most value to the institution.

How has artificial intelligence impacted research and treatment at St. Jude? And what future role do you see for AI in the battle against childhood cancer?

Machine learning languages are the backbone of AI. We started using machine learning languages back in 2002. When we were doing the early gene expression profiling, we had massive amounts of data and there was no way to look at it. We started using neural networks and support vector machines.

There wasn’t the computer power to use [machine learning languages] and there wasn’t the massive data to use them on. Those have coalesced as the internet became available and all the data became available. People are worried, “It’s changing everything.” Well, not so much. We’ve been using this as a tool all along. We started the Data Science Initiative. We have computational biology, biostatistics, and structural biology. All that is massive data. We have a workforce of data scientists more than 1,000 people strong to integrate this into an interactive ecosystem. We want to be a leader in the application of data science to biologic discovery. That will impact medicine.

It’s like, is ChatGPT really going to replace journalists? I don’t think so. AI won’t replace experimentation in a million years. We know so little about the biology of normal cells. AI can’t extrapolate from the data we’ve generated and tell us how it actually works. And there’s new

technology to explore, to develop. AI is a tool to help us think things through. There’s a good article in The New York Times that asked if it’s a transformational tool or an incremental tool. It may be an incremental tool. There’s always hype with new technology.

In 2014, you told us, “You don’t necessarily have to be first; you just have to be right.” We live in a rather rushed society today. How can we apply proper patience to science and research as we fight disease?

The attention of the general populace is shorter and shorter. The knowledge base is more fractured. People want absolutes: It works or it doesn’t work. “Masks don’t prevent infection because people are still getting infected.” Science and medicine need to become better at explaining. We all need to take a longer view. There’s this idea of instant answers and solutions. It’s like people saying, “We’re going to end cancer.” That’s not even possible. People listen to what they want to listen to, and it comes from a thousand different sources. Every single one of those sources is warped by an opinion or belief. The hope is in the next generation. I hope kids stop when they hit the college years and realize they need to learn something. There’s way too much noise. Right now, it’s a war between competing outliers.

The Trump administration doesn’t seem to prioritize medicine or research. How can St. Jude best coexist in the age of Trump?

The administration has shown a total disregard and lack of understanding of what

role science plays in the United States, and in the health and economy of the people who live in the United States. I don’t think they can be educated. I think Congress can be educated, and I think the American people can be educated, and I think they’re going to stand up and say, “We won’t stand for this.”

I think [the current administration] is going to do lots of damage before that occurs. We can communicate facts. We’ll do what we can to talk to senators and let them know that this is critical. If they cut the NIH [National Institutes of Health] indirect funding, we lose money. If they cut the overall NCI [National Cancer Institute] NIH budget, we will lose money. It’s substantial dollars and so, we worry about that. We watch that.

We live in the premier ecosystem in the world, and it’s required for us to make progress on pediatric cancer, on adult cancer, on infectious diseases. Disassembling that to save money is not the right thing to be doing. We have the greatest biomedical research enterprise in the world. Every country knows that. We have the greatest science infrastructure in the world. We do this in the context of a global ecosystem. The decisions being made right now are destructive. Slowly, people are recognizing how destructive they are. Damage will be done.

We have a strategic plan that’s six years. But the things we do during those six years will take another ten years to materialize and bear fruit. You’re talking about 15-to-20-year cycles. If you just stop [funding], it doesn’t get initiated the next year when money comes back. We’re seeing a decrease in the number of people going into biomedical sciences at the graduate level because they’re threatening students from outside the country. We’ll see how it plays out. Let’s hope some sanity plays a role.

St. Jude does wonders for Memphis, and on an international scale. How is Memphis good for St. Jude?

By and large, Memphis is a nice place to live. We recruit people from all over the world, people who come in and say, “There are nice neighborhoods, there are good schools, lots of activities.” And it’s easy (and inexpensive) to participate in these activities. There are good restaurants, good theater, good music. When I ask [new employees] what they like about Memphis, they generally say it’s the people. People stop and talk to you. Someone recently told me he met more people — and developed more relationships — in the first couple of months here than he did in seven years at Stanford. It’s a diverse population; people come from all over the United States. You can find whatever school you want for your kids and they can get a great education here.

THE PAPERMAKERS

Dolph Smith and Colleen Couch explore storytelling and family in their Dixon show.

BY ABIGAIL MORICI

Families are a funny thing. They feel constant, but they’re always changing. People ﬁght; they make up or don’t. People move. They die; they’re born. Some marry; some divorce. But they’re family, inextricably linked through blood or bond.

Family is what artists Dolph Smith and Colleen Couch are, though the link between the two is somewhat crooked now. Once married to his son, Ben Smith, owner and executive chef of the restaurant Tsunami, Couch is Smith’s former daughter-in-law, mother of three of his grandchildren. So the two are still close, so close that since 2023, Couch has been archiving and cataloguing Smith’s work, their lives interlocking once again.

In this process, Couch has seen the true span of Smith’s lengthy career, the way it transitioned from watercolors to papermaking and bookmaking to sculpture. She has seen how his wife, Jessie, inspired him, how the motifs in his works shifted and matured. Couch has seen herself inspired by him and by his work, and she saw the same urge to create burgeoning in Smith, who hasn’t stopped creating his art even at 91.

So a joint show at The Dixon Gallery and Gardens, “Walk in the Light,” on view through June 29th, came about — a chance to showcase the arc of Smith’s oeuvre, new works by Smith inspired by Couch, and two new collaborations by Couch and Smith. Once more their lives would interlock.

M emphis College of Art, or the Memphis Academy of Arts for the earlier generations of this story, is where the ﬁrst thread of this family web was spun. Smith went there and then taught there, eventually teaching his own daughter, Allison, who would teach Couch, who would also go on to teach at the school, too, where her son — Allison’s nephew, Smith’s grandson — would also attend. “We kept that place aﬂoat,” Smith jokes now.

“Have I told the story about how I ended up in art school?” he asks, excited at a chance to tell a story he’s clearly told many times before, but this time to a new audience. “I was a G.I. for three years stationed in Germany and ended up in Berlin.”

His sergeant had offered two tickets to the Berlin Symphony, and Smith jumped at the offer. “We’d never done anything like that, so we dressed up and went to this huge place, and there were thousands of people. There was just this buzz. People talking and buzzing. The energy was all over the place. … The musicians had come in, and all they did was sit there and make these funny noises, plucking on the instruments

and tooting on their horns.

“But this elegant man came in and he went over to this podium place,” he continues, “and he picked up a stick — I didn’t know what a baton was — he picked up a stick and turned to the people who had been tooting and plucking on the instruments. And he picked up the stick and he began to wave it, and they began to play, and I burst into, not just tears, but I was sobbing out loud. I was just crying my eyes out.”

As soon as Smith left the symphony, he says, he called his mother and woke her up. “I said, ‘Mother, ﬁnd me an art school.’ And she didn’t even ask questions. She found what was then the Memphis Academy of Arts, and I got back out of the Army just in time to get down there and started two weeks later.”

At this point, Smith had never drawn or painted before and showed little interest in art as a child growing up in Ripley, Tennessee, but as luck would have it, he had the talent, as his classes would reveal. “You got to believe in faith. You got to believe in something,” he says. “It gave me a life. It was the beginning of my life.”

Smith ﬁrst turned to watercolor. “It was a

quick medium,” he says. “Mother Nature takes over a watercolor. And I like that concept, that I’m collaborating with Mother Nature.”

He took to painting architectural forms — barns, houses, bridges, fences, ladders. He’d drive out to abandoned shacks and places in Mississippi, Arkansas, and Tennessee where Mother Nature had taken over to paint, often with his family in tow — “ﬁeld trips,” he called them.

By the Seventies, the planks that made up the walls of Smith’s houses and barns began to take on wings, his adherence to reality loosening. “He started merging birds and wings and buildings together so that the buildings could ﬂy, and then he takes this form and turns it into his paper airplane,” says Ellen Daugherty, assistant curator at the Dixon.

Those paper airplanes, too, would become an important motif. Smith told Daugherty, “It ﬁnally came to me after a couple of summers trying to get some experience with ﬂying gliders. I wanted to be up in the skies I had always painted. It gave me a sense that the sky was/is a real physical form. It was what was holding me up. But I felt a

little fragile. Hence the paper airplane. It stands for humankind. We are fragile but we can soar!”

And so Smith began attaching tiny paper airplanes, folding and cutting them this way and that, to abstracted skies where the paint pooled and bled and swiveled as watercolor tends to do. The effect is something otherworldly and dreamlike. “Maybe you’re looking at the sky,” Daugherty says. “Maybe you’re looking at the ocean from the air.”

In 1973, Smith gifted one of these paper airplane paintings to English rock star David Bowie while he was in Memphis to play at the Ellis Auditorium on his Aladdin Sane tour. Smith invited the singer to attend an art opening at the Memphis Academy of Arts, and after Bowie showed up, the story became legend at the school, passed down from class to class. Now alum Mike McCarthy is even trying to sculpt a 10-foot-tall David Bowie statue partially in honor of the moment, hoping to establish it in a place like Overton Park.

Throughout the years, Smith has impacted many artists, obviously not just through his David Bowie connection — ﬁrst as a watercolor

teacher, then as a papermaking and bookmaking teacher. “He founded the paper and book programs at the art college,” Daugherty says.

Papermaking, for Dolph, was a natural progression from his painting and drawing, says his daughter, Allison Read Smith. “He’s always had a really hearty curiosity that way, and there was a certain point, where it was like, ‘I’m working on this surface. But what is this surface? How is it made? How can it be different?’ Then it just kind of went down some kind of years-long rabbit hole, decades-long rabbit hole.”

And working with paper wasn’t too dissimilar from working with watercolor, Smith says. Once again, he was partnering with Mother Nature. “She’s a boss,” he says. “You have to beat fibers so that they will create an electric attachment to each other and that bonds the paper together. The paper is not held together with adhesive or glue or anything. It’s held together by an act of nature.”

Smith learned that he could dye paper, cast it, make sculptures and books from it. The books, in turn, opened a new world — quite literally. It’s called Tennarkippi, a portmanteau of Tennessee, Arkansas, and Mississippi, and a fictional place with characters and institutions like a library and a museum.

He created books, sculptures, paintings, and drawings of Tennarkippi. There was Jilly Barnes, a troublemaker with far-fetched schemes, and Aslipah, the hero in his stories, a small paper airplane that roamed the landscape. Its name recalls “a slip of paper.”

“It’s bringing back a lot of memories when I came up with this stuff,” Smith says, but his imagination still whirs today in his studio in Ripley, Tennessee — his studio that he also

calls Tennarkippi. “My studio talks to me. We interact with each other and in doing so, I never lack for an idea.”

L ike Smith, Couch finds the studio to be a space to “catch ideas.” “It’s very much a Zen, almost spiritual experience because you have to relax into the process,” she says. “You don’t have very much control over it. And so giving yourself into the process helps me on a creative level. I might get in the studio and have an idea or concept in mind, but the sort of meditative state papermaking can take me into, I’ll change course. … It’s a fun place to be, very therapeutic.”

And like Smith, Couch finds herself attracted to paper’s shapeshifting qualities. She typically makes paper using the fiber from the abaca plant, which is in the banana family. “You can pull very, very thin sheets of paper, but they’re weirdly very, very strong,” she says. “After you’ve made the wet sheets of paper and press them initially, you can take that wet sheet and wrap it over a form, like a wire or wood armature, and that paper will dry and shrink down on that form, kind of creating a skin-like effect. So it, too, is an act of nature in that you’re at the whim of what that paper is going to do.”

Initially, though, Couch fancied herself a painter when she enrolled at the Memphis College of Art, but once there she found herself enjoying her sculpture classes much more. “One of the elective studio courses that I decided to take was papermaking with Allison,” she says. “There’s a lot of foundational work that you have to teach for papermaking, but she included projects that use paper sculpturally, and I just immediately fell in love with it. And I took as

many years of papermaking as I could.”

She never took a class from Smith, but over the years she found him to be a mentor. At one point, she had been traveling so much from Memphis to Ripley to use his tools and machines that he eventually gave all of them to her to use in her Midtown studio. And archiving his work has made their bond closer.

“I don’t know if it’ll ever be done,” she says. “There’s just so much work, and Dolph had done a lot of the hard work for me. He kept very, very diligent notes and collections of his work in the beginning.”

Twice a week, she’d travel to Ripley to document his work. She’s found pieces hidden under the stairs, gone through hundreds of slides of his work and his collection of other artists’ work, taken photographs, and asked him questions, so many questions. “I certainly enjoyed the stories that came out of it,” she says. “I think it was probably great for Dolph to have his memory jogged a little bit and to go down memory lane, have that sense of nostalgia and memory about past life, past friends, and all those wonderful connections that he’s made throughout his life.”

“It’s a good way to look back and realize that the things we make are always honest,” Smith says. “It’s always hands take over from our hearts, and it’s all honest.”

That’s what he looks for in art, he says — honesty. “We think of art as being about skill and what have you, but really the good art is about storytelling. … It’s very evident with [Couch’s] work.”

For the joint show, Couch wanted to tell the story of Smith and his late wife, Jessie, who died in 2020. “Jessie was just such an incredible presence in his life on multiple levels,” Couch says. “In his piece, J-Bird, that’s on exhibit in the show, the story he told me was that she came into the studio to bring him some coffee

or something, and she turned away. He asked her to stop and take all her clothes off and stand on the table so he could draw her. J-Bird, in particular, I mean, you can look at it and immediately identify the love and admiration he has for his muse.”

In this drawing, Jessie takes on wings, much like the barns and houses of his. She’s stately, heavenly, yet sensual. In the corner of the drawing, under his signature, Smith has written, “This is Jessie as seen by her husband Dolph Smith.”

“Dolph misses her in ways that I can’t comprehend,” Couch says, and so she created her own J-Bird — Night Flite 2: Ode to J-Bird — a cast paper sculpture of the bust of Jessie as a guardian angel. Nearby hangs Couch’s Nite Flight 1: Ode to Aslipah, a paper airplane, representing Smith. “She’s calling him back to her, and he’s drifting from the life he’s at right now and headed towards her,” she says.

“It’s wonderful, wonderful, wonderful,” Smith says.

For “Walk in the Light,” “we just kind of agreed to collaborate on two pieces,” Couch says. “Basically, I made one component of a piece and then handed it off to him to complete, and he did the reverse for me.”

Colleen made paper from Jessie’s clothing, and Smith created a book. “The book lives forever,” he says, pointing out that it’s another way to honor his late wife.

Smith, meanwhile, crafted several tiny ladders for Colleen to use. These ladders he makes nearly every day, Allison says, keeping his mind and hands nimble. They’ve been another one of his symbols like the paper airplane, showing up in his sculptures, drawings, paintings, and books. As for these tiny ladders, he says, “I make the ladders knowing that eventually I’ll maybe give them away. And I tell people every now and then,

everybody needs a little lift. I’ve even given them to strangers, a stranger that would tell me how to get somewhere, and I might have one in my pocket to say thanks for the help.”

With those ladders in hand, Couch says, “I wanted to see them floating and lifting up on their own. And there’s so much literal flight in his work — the drawings of the barns, uplifting and taking flight, or the airplanes drifting out in the sky — I feel like these ladders needed to have that chance.”

Thus, the ladders took on paper wings in a wall installation, the symbol for Smith’s simple gestures of kindness taking flight, taking on their own meanings to those he has touched in life — even Couch. “For me, those ladders definitely give me a lift but they also shake me out of less-than-positive thinking patterns,” Couch told Daugherty.

As Couch reflects on her time archiving Smith’s work, she says, “I’ve known Dolph for nearly three decades now and have been part of that family, and have always admired his work and the creative output, but it took the experience of having to archive it, to really shed new light on the depth of his work. I felt like the title ‘Walk in the Light’ was a good phrase to illuminate the eye-opening experience I had working with him.”

Indeed, Smith has reminded her that to be an artist is to be a risk-taker. “His creative drive was a bigger monster than superficial success,” Couch says, “and I think that the work on display sort of embodies the risks that he took to translate those ideas that would come to him and get out of his head into the world.”

“It’s been a great life,” adds Allison. “Who knows the things that change your life — like with the symphony? Who knows why that made him think, it was something so powerful and creative that he had to be in that world?”

By that extension, without that symphony, without the Memphis College of Art, without the Smith family, who knows where Colleen Couch would be, too? The stories that could be spun.

TIDBITS Aldar Café

The menu offers pizza, bread, coffee, and tea — but with an exotic twist diners may find nowhere else.

BY MICHAEL DONAHUE

feta cream cheese, olive oil, honey, and za’atar, which, Alshuga told me, was dried thyme with sesame. e pita bread was “freshly made,” Alshuga said, so I asked, “Do I make a sandwich out of it?”

Iwanted to try something exotic at Aldar Café, since it was my ﬁrst visit, so I ordered “Yemen Honey Bread.” e quilted loaf of dough drenched with honey was fabulous.

The “Matcha Bar” listing on the menu by the cash register sounded intriguing: matcha latte, lavender latte, white chocolate matcha, and strawberry matcha. Google told me “matcha” is a tea, which “contains an abundance of antioxidants” that “may have some positive eﬀects on our health.”

e regular tea menu includes red, Adani, milk and honey, ginger, Zatar, Karak, and Moroccan green tea. e Yemeni coﬀee options are also interesting: black, light roast, Yemen latte, Cascara, Arabic, and Turkish.

I began my lunch with black coﬀee, a strong Yemen blend, and a mango banana smoothie. I chose the pizza topped with chicken, tomato, peppers, onions, black olives, jalapeños,

and mushrooms.

Everything was delicious, but I felt I hadn’t fully enjoyed the exotic experience here, so I ordered the “All-Day Arabic Breakfast.” When it came to the table, I was taken aback by the six bowls on a slender holder with pita bread on the side. I recognized the olives, but wasn’t sure what the other bowls contained or how to eat any of it. Did I need a fork or a spoon? en Mohamad Alshuga, the son of one of the owners, showed up. I asked him if I was eating genuine Yemen food. “It’s more Mediterranean food,” he said. “It’s a mix from diﬀerent cultures. Lebanese, Syrian, Yemen. Most of the Arab countries.”

He explained that the bowls contained black olives, halva,

“It’s more of a dip,” he explained. “ e main course is the feta cheese. It can be dipped with everything. You can dip feta cheese with olive oil, and it’s very delicious. Feta cheese with halva is sweet. e cheese kind of balances it out. If you eat the halva by itself, it’s going to be too sweet. But if you mix it with cheese it’s very good.”

I began by dipping the pita bread into the cream cheese. “Get some more,” Alshuga said. “You’re not used to Mediterranean style.”

So I dipped the pita bread into various ingredients. After I dunked the cream cheese into the honey and then dipped the whole thing into the halva, Alshuga hesitated and said, “I don’t know if honey and za’atar goes well, but you can try that.”

It tasted great to me. But I love sweet and savory.

Alshuga, who is from Yemen, described another breakfast they’d have back home. “In Yemen, we have fava beans, red kidney beans, white beans, eggs, and lambs liver,” he said. “And some days we’d have something like this.”

Red tea came with the

breakfast I ordered. “Red tea is just a red leaf tea with water,” Alshuga said, “but we add ﬂavors such as cardamom and cloves.”

I told him the honey bread was fabulous. “It’s fluff y,” he said. “We stuff it with cream cheese, and we usually top it with black seed, sesame seed, and honey.”

We talked about their pizza. “What makes it special is we make the dough here in-house, and the sauce also in-house.” And there are no preservatives in it, he said. “Everything is made fresh.”

“Manakeesh” pizzas are ﬂatbread topped with za’atar, cheese, meat, or mubarak, a “spicy tomato paste and black seed,” Alshuga told me. I’ll try that on my next visit.

I asked what was the most popular item at Aldar Cafe. “Yemeni latte,” Alshuga said without skipping a beat. It contains Yemeni coffee beans, nutmeg, cardamom, and other spices. “If you want to, we add sugar to it, but it has its own chocolaty flavor. at’s what makes it different from any other coffees.”

Finally, I asked Alshuga about “Origins of Mocha” painted on Aldar Café’s sign. at refers to a major port in Yemen, he said.

After I left Aldar Café, everything tasted so good , I felt like I’d already been to his country. And I plan to go back.

Savoring the Moment

Austin Weisenborn brings a wealth

of experience to The Lobbyist.

BY BRUCE VANWYNGARDEN

Idid a lot of manual labor — construction and whatnot — after high school. en I worked at AutoZone, where the older guys had me replacing a lot of headlights and batteries. en I worked in a warehouse for a while, before deciding I wanted to hop into the restaurant industry.”

Austin Weisenborn has channeled a lot of job experiences into the ten years that have passed since he graduated from Germantown High School, and that didn’t change after he decided to “hop into the restaurant industry.” He began by working as a bar back at Hog & Hominy and has since plied his trade at P.O. Press, Salt/Soy, Lucky Cowboy, Puck Food Hall, and Cameo, before landing his “destination” job as bar manager at Chef Jimmy Gentry’s downtown restaurant, e Lobbyist, about a year ago. It turned out that Hog & Hominy was a fortuitous place for Weisenborn to get

his start in the food business.

“I met a ton of people there,” he says, “some of whom I still work with, including Mitchell Marable, the guy who taught me how to bartend. He was the manager at Hog & Hominy.”

In 2018, Weisenborn accepted an oﬀer from Gentry and Marable to work at Gentry’s Collierville restaurant, P.O. Press. He stayed on there for a while before taking a bartender job at the since-closed Puck Food Hall on South Main. en came the great restaurant diaspora — also known as the Covid pandemic.

“ ings were really slowing down,” he recalls. “I quit around

“We make all our house syrups and bitters, and we hand-juice everything. Nothing is bottled. We even make our own tonic.”

the time of the six-feet rule. During early Covid I did a whole lot of nothing — went for a lot of long drives with my dog. en I worked at Salt/Soy for a while. After that, I was a valet at e Pyramid, a bartender at Cameo, and worked at Buster’s Butcher — doing three jobs at once. Around the time I found out my wife and I were going to have a baby, I got the oﬀer from Jimmy to become bar manager at e Lobbyist, so I quit my three jobs and came over here. It feels like a destination.”

Weisenborn says that’s because of his boss. “ e whole reason I’m here is Jimmy Gentry. He’s the best chef in the city — so creative with his special dishes, a lot of fun to work with, and a very easy-going guy for a chef.”

Weisenborn points to the menu lying on the bar: “ e corn mash just got named one of the best 26 dishes in the United States by e New York Times,” he says. “ e menu is fantastic. And we make cocktails that complement the food.”

Which prompts me to point to the menu and ask, “Which of these drinks should I try?”

“My favorite cocktail is the ‘Lost Bayou Rambler,’” he says. “Mitchell [Marable, who bar-

tends one night a week] created this menu, since I was involved in having a baby at the time it came out, but that drink is so good and so unusual. It’s got Sazerac Rye, Cynar [an artichoke liqueur], Grand Marnier, lemon juice, and house-made holy trinity syrup.”

“What’s the holy trinity?”

“In New Orleans cooking, it’s bell pepper, celery, and onions. We make our own and substitute shallots for onions. And then we add roasted tomato oil.”

“ is drink sounds like a salad. I think I have to try it.”

Weisenborn gets to work, pouring and shaking, and soon sets a frothy coupe glass on the bar. He drips a little of the aforementioned roasted tomato oil onto the surface and it separates like a lava lamp.

Let me hasten to say, the “Lost Bayou Rambler” does not taste at all like a salad. ere is a tiny hint of savoriness, but the lemon juice and Grand Marnier balance the ﬂavors beautifully. It’s ﬁne dining in a glass.

“ is is good,” I say. “I wasn’t sure I’d like it.”

“It’s a very interesting drink,” Weisenborn says. “I like to try to read people’s faces when they taste it. e real question is always, ‘Would you order this again?’

Most people say they would.”

“It’s hard to explain, but it has a really fresh taste,” I say.

“ at’s because we make all our house syrups and bitters, and we hand-juice everything. Nothing is bottled,” says Weisenborn. “We even make our own tonic.”

“It’s a complex drink but it’s not showing oﬀ. It’s impressive,” I say.

“We make cocktails like we mean it and we’re always trying to come up with new, creative, fun ideas,” Weisenborn says. “We don’t pre-batch anything. It’s all fresh, which is, I think, the thing that really separates this bar from other bars.”

“A Hero’s Tale”

Dear Editor,

Thanks for your may article on the 100th anniversary of Tom Lee’s bravery; it really touched my heart. Actually all the media this week around the 100th anniversary brought back memories of family fun at Tom Lee Park.

My father would frequently take my brother and me to visit the river. It was a relaxing time that allowed us to run and play. One thing we always did was go directly to the tall white obelisk monument and Daddy would ask me to read the brief paragraph that was inscribed there about Tom Lee.

Looking back on it, I think he loved to hear me read and pronounce the words. I sensed that the bravery of Tom Lee made him proud and wanted us to feel proud as well. Saturdays or Sunday visits consisted of my father taking pictures of my brother and me as well as the Mississippi River. We would stand or sit on a bench overlooking the river and he would explain details about the barges going to and fro, and the workers down on the cobblestones. We talked about being able to see Arkansas from where we sat.

I was born in the 1950s and grew up in the 1960s, so having positive feelings about being Black in the South was an important and natural part of my character development. In addition, Tom Lee Park was a place of safety during segregation in Memphis. Growing up in the segregated South, being told to move to the back of the

bus, as a child riding the bus to my weekly piano lessons, I was very much aware of being Black. We were always taught to be the best person we could be, and that we could do whatever we set out to do. So, Tom Lee and a park dedicated to him instilled a sense of pride.

Although I have visited Tom Lee Park more times than I can count, I did not know all the details about the Norman riverboat tour and the rescue once the boat capsized. The story was woven together perfectly and answered questions I never had answers to. Again, thanks for renewing the story of Tom Lee and reminding people that anyone can be a hero or heroine on any day of the week. And, we should always be ready and expect great things to happen in our everyday lives.

Maybe I am sharing too much, but the article really touched my heart. After reading about the thankful people who were rescued and how they wanted to thank Tom Lee in so many ways, I was in tears. It’s a beautiful story and a wonderful tribute to a brave man. I wish my father could see the evolution of the park today, with the new bronze monument and all the beautiful amenities that are now in Tom Lee Park. He would smile with pride.
