Creative writing Professor Bland
Simpson said he is thrilled with the deci
sion to commemorate Wolfe with a
stamp.
“It’s about time,” he said. “Everyone
is really excited.”
The stamp, designed by artist
Michael J. Deas, portrays Wolfe’s pro
file surrounded by an angel and the
titles of two of his books, “Look
Homeward, Angel” and “Of Time and
the River.”
An oversized mock-up of the stamp
is displayed in the Wilson Library.
“(The picture is) very impressive,” said
curator Bob Anthony. “It’s a beautiful
stamp.”
The release of the stamp will be
accompanied by a
first-day induction
ceremony at the
Thomas Wolfe
Memorial in
Asheville to honor
his friends, family
and those
involved in the
campaign to cre
ate die stamp.
English
Professor Joseph Flora, who is involved
with UNC’s celebration of Wolfe’s cen

stamp will “help bring deserved atten
