Classification & titles of works[edit]

It seems to me that The Lover of Horses and At the Owl Woman Saloon are better categorized either as "Anthologies" or "Short Story Collections", rather than as "Fiction". To my mind, the latter suggests novel, or at least novella, length works. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

As to titles, Words Like Distant Rain or Distant Rain? I have most of Gallagher's works, but not this one; anyone have a copy at hand to check? The title appears in both stylings - several library listings use the former, but Eastern Washington University Press, its publisher, lists it by the latter in its on-line catalogue.Irish Melkite (talk) 20:58, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bibliography[edit]

I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates and tables for short stories, poems and/or book reviews. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. ISBNs and other persistent identifiers, where available, are commented out, but still available for reference. This is a work in progress; feel free to continue.
