Book Description
The illicit affair of a devout woman in London ignites a shattering family crisis in the author’s “ruthlessly honest” first play (The Guardian). In a dour Holland Park house with rooms and secrets long shuttered live three unyielding forces for morality: rigidly religious sisters Helen and Teresa, and their brother, a Roman Catholic priest. Into the lives of this insular trio comes their young grandniece, Rose Pemberton, following the death of her mother. To the mortification of her aunts, Rose has also brought her lover, Michael Dennis, who is twenty-five years Rose’s senior, married, and a psychology lecturer dictated by reason, not faith. In a home that reeks of sanctimony, Rose and Michael are as welcome as sin. But it’s the arrival of Michael’s distraught wife—armed with righteous emotional blackmail and worse—that ignites an unexpected fury and makes real the family’s greatest fears. Premiering in London in 1953 and moving to Broadway one year later, Graham Greene’s debut as a dramatist was hailed by Kenneth Tynan as “the best first play of its generation.”

Book Description
All the poems between My Momma Did Say I Would Meet A Girl Like You and Untitled are observations, reminiscences, and insights stories within a story. Using the river motif and oral tradition in Untitled the poet underscores certain thematic and analogous paradigms within a socio-cultural, geo-political landscape. This landscape is America. Why America? Well, Long Creek runs from the back of our house into the Roaring River. Moreover, all the diverse rivers of the world run into the great rivers of America. Similarly, peoples from across the globe stream into America the land of opportunity. America then, has become an inter-cultural, intracultural dynamic; framework a cauldron that brews an alchemy of ideas that is characteristic of a renewed people called Americans. Many of the poems, their titles and the images within them, find a connection, a culmination even, in the last poem of this collection, the revelation Untitled.

Book Description
From the Pulitzer Prize and T.S. Eliot Prize for Poetry winner comes a beautifully realized collection of poems about childhood, love, marriage, children, and honoring the dead. Larry Lewis say, “The Dead and the Living is an unignorable book, something truly rare. The feeling behind it is painful, but exquisitely so. Pain made into art or what, in another time, people called ‘beauty.’” It is an achievement of a poet writing in the full measure of her powers. The Lamont poetry selection of the Academy of American Poets.

Book Description
Autumn Gilhain hopes that being a founding member of a student artistic society will give her music and her life direction since both are floundering. At the same time, Quinn Gravesend, the greatest composer of the 20th century, suspects his career and creativity are drawing to a close. Over the course of nine months, Autumn and her fellow artists collide with Gravesend, and the seven of them grapple with love and loss, insecurities and genius, dreams and fears. Only one thing is certain: None of them will emerge the same as they were at the start. ----- "Kenyon's characters pursue their daemons, disrupt each other's lives, and face their ghosts, and ultimately find that the answer is quite natural: Life drives us. A beautiful, profound book." --Simone Zelitch, author of Louisa and Judenstaat "This is a story about art . . . But it is also [about] accepting the mysterious cycles of birth and decay with grace, dignity, and wit." --Shawne Johnson, author of Getting Our Breath Back and Eden Ohio

Book Description
She was five-six, slim, with nonconspicuous well-formed breasts, artistically curving into a long neck, bearing delicate features. She was endowed with soft skin, delicately shaped cheekbones, and slightly pouting healthy lips with a perpetual pleasant smile. Her beautiful chin was accentuated with a tiny birth mark above the right jaw beneath a pleasant forehead. Beautifully slanted wide hazel-gray eyes with naturally thick black eyelashes displayed sparkles of hope and light. Topping her head were soft dark brown waves of hair, which, on the job, she wore in two big braids arranged together into a crown-like bow that made her look taller. She looked her best though when she arranged her hair in a wide strand of shiny waves, resembling a mix of light and dark-shaded gold flowing on the left-hand side of her chest. Occasionally, she let her hair naturally spread to medium length over her back, covering her shoulder blades. Kathy seemed never to forget that she was an attractive woman and took pride in that fact. She was invariably confident, low-keyed, and gentle.
