Carrying the Torch by Brock Clarke Pdf
The stories in this collection occupy a world at once as familiar as a suburban backyard or a southern college's hallowed football field and as strange as a man who buys Savannah, Georgia, and tries to turn it into the perfect Southern city as part of his attempt to win back his estranged wife. The fictional territory of Carrying the Torch , is in short, Brock Clarke's, one in which the surreal and the hilarious share a neighborhood with the painfully real and the sweetly ironic. Here readers will encounter characters dislocated by work and love, by huge losses and life's small dramas, men and women who have migrated South in search of redemption--or at least in the hope of leaving the worst behind.In these tales about what people try to leave and find they can't, about the lies we tell the people we love and the myths we create to make life livable, Marly Swick cites an "exceptional originality" as well as an "amazing emotional resonance, a haunting quality." "Notable for their balance of sentiment and restraint, the music of their language, and the haunting human longing that coexists with the irony and the humor," as Lee Martin remarks, these remarkable stories carry forward a tradition reaching from Flannery O'Connor to John Cheever and Donald Barthelme--and arrive at a brilliance all their own.Brock Clarke is an assistant professor of English at the University of Cincinnati. He is the author of the novel The Ordinary White Boy and of What We Won't Do , a short story collection that won the 2002 Mary McCarthy Prize for Short Fiction.

Garden Physic by Sylvia Legris Pdf
A musical celebration of the garden, from chaff to grass, and all of its lowly weeds, herbs, and creatures Sylvia Legris’s Garden Physic is a paean to the pleasures and delights of one of the world’s most cherished pastimes: Gardening! “At the center of the garden the heart,” she writes, “Red as any rose. Pulsing / balloon vine. Love in a puff.” As if composed out of a botanical glossolalia of her own invention, Legris’s poems map the garden as body and the body as garden—her words at home in the phytological and anatomical—like birds in a nest. From an imagined love-letter exchange on plants between garden designer Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson to a painting by Agnes Martin to the medicinal discourse of the first-century Greek pharmacologist Pedanius Dioscorides, Garden Physic engages with the anaphrodisiacs of language with a compressed vitality reminiscent of Louis Zukofsky’s “80 Flowers.” In muskeg and yard, her study of nature bursts forth with rainworm, whorl of horsetail, and fern radiation—spring beauty in the lines, a healing potion in verse.

How to Massage Your Cat by Alice M. Brock Pdf
As kitty gift books go, this is "the best, funniest, most inspiring" of them all, according to the Village Voice and tens of thousands of dedicated readers. Now out on the prowl with a new cover that's the cat's meow, it's ready to inspire a second wave of cats and their owners to relax into a catnap. Author and illustrator Alice M. Brock (of Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant" fame) counsels cat owners to approach the cat quietly with palms "up and open." Beginning at the rear, the masseur works all the way around the cat using a "vigorous kneading motion," then rubs, presses, twists, and tugs the cat into a state of complete relaxation. We are assured that a well-massaged cat may remain in a state of prolonged calm "for some time." Brock's instructions are accompanied by charming illustrations sure to inspire a mischievous chuckle in both friends and foes of felines everywhere.

The Seasons in Fern Hollow by John Patience Pdf
The first book in the Tales from Fern Hollow series, with detailed, colourful and cheerful illustrations, for ages 3-93. Meet Brock Gruffy (badger), Sigmund Swamp (toad), Policeman P C Hoppit (hare), Lord Trundle (fox), the Prickles family (hedgehogs), the Croaker family (frogs) and other fun Fern Hollow characters in this first visit to the village through the seasons of the year. The animals of Fern Hollow are all good friends and neighbours and if you are a stranger they will make you feel at home in next to no time. Written and illustrated by British author/illustrator, John Patience, this book takes us on a visit to the village of Fern Hollow, tucked away in the English countryside in the early 20th Century. 64 pages, richly illustrated in traditional style, introduce us, through the seasons of the year, to some of the animal characters in the 16 stories that followed through the 1980s and 1990s. The map on the endpapers helps children find their way around the village and appears in every single title in the Tales from Fern Hollow series. Children really love the map and enjoy pointing out where all their favourite characters live and the stories take place. These wholesome and gently humorous stories of animal folk have an enduring charm. A generation of people who had the Fern Hollow stories as children now love sharing them with their own children. Parents who read the books with their children back in the 1980s and 1990s are now enjoying them all over again with their grandchildren. Now back in print from John's own imprint, Talewater Press, this edition, published in 2019, contains the same story and illustrations as the original version. The charming and gently humorous Fern Hollow animal stories have remained popular since they were first published in 1980.
