Ghosts of Southeast Kansas
Author: Cheryl Carvajal
Publisher: Dog Ear Publishing
ISBN: 1598582321
Category : Ghosts
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
Explore the history-the haunted history-of many towns and cities in southeast Kansas. These stories mix folklore, eyewitness testimony, and historical fact into gently woven tales which show current paranormal activity, speculate about who might be haunting, and even suggest why the activity occurs. This collection includes friendly ghosts like Charley, who has saved the lives of his Independence family more than once, and more haunted figures like the Lady in Black, who wandered the streets of Caney more than a century ago, looking for her baby's grave. They tell of well-known haunted places, such as Coffeyville's Tavern on the Plaza, William Inge's childhood home, and The Old Haunted House of Fredonia, but they also reveal secret places that even witnesses themselves are reluctant to discuss. These tales, from funny to frightening, are perfect for reading alone, or aloud-except on dark nights, when the Kansas wind is howling. About the Author Cheryl Carvajal has been writing since she learned how, beginning her first play at the age of six. She lived in Kansas and Oklahoma for several years, and she recently moved from southeast Kansas to Bothell, Washington, with her husband Richard, her two young children, and her black tabby. She earned her bachelor's degree in English at East Central University in Ada, Oklahoma; her master's in Literature at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale; and her doctorate in English at the University of South Carolina in Columbia. She spent two years researching this book, and one more writing and publishing it. Dr. Carvajal is a playwright, and several of her plays have been performed at the William Inge Center for the Arts. She also writes fiction and poetry, sings, draws, paints, juggles, teaches English and theatre, and works actively to inspire others to enrich their lives through involvement in the arts.

Crybaby Bridge
Author: Kathy Goodkin
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780913785430
Category : American poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
In poem after poem, the pages of Crybaby Bridge present a series of tiny revelations, like in "Spontaneous Generation" "I got alive / the same as you: / salt made // a small reckoning." It's all so simple, so right there--but poet Kathy Goodkin's sweeping floodlights allow us to see it. In this book, Goodkin observes an ordinary world with its small tragedies and workaday beauties--forests and fields that give way to housing developments, balloons blooming outside a party store, cars winched from rivers--and she gives it to readers straight. Goodkin's several poems titled "Sleep Paralysis" offer a helpful lens for understanding the pictures each poem presents. When you can't look away, you get a chance to take it all in, the reservoir, the larkspur, the slow and insistent layered growth of a city.
