Campbell's latest collection reads like an extended elegy for the poet himself, for his lost loved ones, and for the changes in the wider world. In this way, it is reminiscent of Hardy. This is the work of a man wise in the ways of the world and not afraid to be flawed.
"Have you ever wanted to run away from it all to some dusty little town, change your name to Wanda and wait tables while your life changes chapters? Have you ever felt the need to leave the wife behind, hop a train or hitch a ride and seek out the California sun? Have you ever come home to her clothes gone, her keys, her cat and nothing left there but a hint of her perfume? We've all had those times where we've dreamed it, planned it, lived it. This collection of short stories addresses every variation of running away, wanting to run away, and trying to run away"--
Mother Mary Comes to Me by Karen Head,Collin Kelley Pdf
The Virgin Mary long ago transcended her religious origins to become an instantly recognizable icon. From pop art to pop music, Mary's status as the Mother of God continues to inspire the faithful and the secular. A statue of Mary weeping blood or her appearance on a piece of toast still has the power to make front page news and bring the devoted running with candles and eBay bids. In Mother Mary Comes To Me, poets explore the intersection of the sacred and popular personifications of Mary that have evolved throughout the ages, and how she still holds sway in the 21st century as a figure to be praised and celebrated.

Before All Who Have Ever Seen this Disappear by Michael Gills Pdf
Before All Who Have Ever Seen This Disappear, Michael Gills’ fifth novel, plumbs the depths of the Stepwell family tendency toward theatrical catastrophe. When Weldon Stepwell, bare-knuckled catcher for the Danville Little Johns and town florist, has his leg amputated in a wood-cutting accident, the team shows up on the hospital lawn to give blood, pray, and curse God. Mostly they gather to be with the stricken wife, daughter, and son and wait to see if their teammate will live through the night. One teammate is sent to retrieve the leg, and just what on earth do you do with such a thing? Rural Arkansas in 1950, they are men who’d just whipped Hitler and come home to play ball, volunteer firemen, rural mail carriers, the stray senator-to-be, hardware store workers, and fish farmers. Spanning three generations, they just can’t seem to outrun whatever it is that stalks their periphery. Finally, an adult grandson must contend with the Stepwell business in the form of a plague that comes on them and the world from nowhere. Quarantined between a gleaming football stadium on one side of the road and the city cemetery on the other, a moment comes when they must walk out under the sun and re-commune. A story that dives as deep as you like into the abyss, then fights its way out with all the hope and grace this life allows.
"What Do You Mean, Murder?" Clue and the Making of a Cult Classic by John Hatch Pdf
When the film Clue came out in 1985, audiences were baffled. A movie based on a board game, with three different endings, and you had to pick which one to go see? Bad reviews compounded the problem, and instead of choosing one ending, most people stayed away entirely. Clue, outgrossed at the box office by films that had been released months earlier, quickly faded away. When it unceremoniously premiered on Showtime a year after its theatrical debut, there was no sign it was destined for anything other than obscurity, another flop bound to be forgotten.Instead, Gen Xers and millennials, raised on pop culture and cable TV in an era long before the streaming wars, discovered this zany farce about a group of six strangers locked in a remote house with a killer. The movie appealed to kids. The creepy mansion and eerie music contrasted with slapstick gags and double entendres, deflating the tension. Today, almost forty years later, Clue is the epitome of a cult classic, with midnight screenings, script readings for charity, cosplaying fans, and a stage play.“ What Do You Mean, Murder?” dives deep into the making of Clue and walks fans through the movie they know and love. From producer Debra Hill' s original idea of Detective Parker bumbling around a mansion to Carrie Fisher' s casting as Miss Scarlet, from Madeline Kahn' s iconic “ flames” ad-lib to the legendary deleted fourth ending, it' s all here. With asides on fandom, Gen X nostalgia, and at how movies were made in the 1980s, the book offers plenty to chew on for die-hard buffs and casual fans alike.
Dog and Gun; a Few Loose Chapters on Shooting, Among Which Will Be Found Some Anecdotes and Incidents by Johnson Jones Hooper Pdf
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1856 edition. Excerpt: ...dog--unsubdued by previous early discipline and steady work: DOG DEALING, OR TAKING A LESSON. Some twenty years ago I was presented with a splendid silver-and-white Pointer, of noted stock, in the south of England. Being young myself and my old doge nearly worn out. I named him " Ponto," and if a dog was ever worshipped, I believe " Ponto' was my idol, and at three months old he would "fetch " and " charge." I believe he was as well house-broke as a dog could be up to six months of age, when I thought I would commence shooting over him. I must here state that the stock of " Ponto " was once so fine that a fox hound was introduced, which gave the breed plenty of foot, and of that " Ponto " was a miracle. Well, I hunted " Ponto " nearly three months, and could do nothing with him when he came on game; although he would point a winged bird in the house, &c. One day a friend who shot on an ad joining estate, came to a spring where I was drinking, and offered me a very nice pair of broke dogs for " Ponto." I told him I could do nothing with him except show him in the house or yard. His answer was, that if he could break him, he would suit him, instead of paying a duty on two. I traded, and had by far the best of it, as I thought; but judge of my surprise, when I received an invitation to shoot with my neighbor two weeks afterwards over " Ponto." I went with reluctance, as I expected to be annoyed as of old, and even took my pair of dogs along. But Bill said " Ponto " would do all the work we would want, and so it proved--notwithstanding the wind (it being in November). We shot over " Ponto' eix hours, --killing pheasant, partridge, and hares...
