Book Description
It’s almost Christmas, I have a broken air conditioner, and the repairman’s shown up dead at my front door. I wasn’t a big fan of the guy, but I need to get to the bottom of this. A girl can’t just ignore someone dumping a body on her doorstep. Especially if it means she becomes the main suspect for the murder. Clearly the man was on someone else’s naughty list too, and I’m determined to figure out whose. With the help of my pet pigs, I’m going to track this killer down. And while I’m at it, surely I can find someone to give me a reasonable quote to fix the air conditioner. Although that might take a Christmas miracle. In the sweltering heat of the Aussie summer, I need to figure out who the murderer is before I take the blame, or worse – before I’m also nogging on heaven’s door.

The Complete Poems of Louis Daniel Brodsky: Volume One, 1963-1967
Author: Louis Daniel Brodsky
Publisher: Time Being Books
ISBN: 9781568090207
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 644
Book Description
As the initial volume of an impressive series comprising the full collection of verse by Louis Daniel Brodsky, this book begins with Brodsky's first poem, written during his final months at Yale, in 1963, and traces the author's maturation into his apprentice years (when he was a young graduate student in English, at Washington University, in St. Louis), presenting the hundreds of poems, prose poems, and short, autobiographical prose works he had composed by June of 1967, when he launched his professional writing career. These pieces serve not only as a measure of Brodsky's evolution as a poet but as a human being, chronicling one man's struggle to find his purpose in life, to make a place for himself in a society often at odds with his own convictions. His hopes, fears, and frustrations permeate the work, revealing the intense inner conflicts he felt compelled to set to paper, from individual matters -- his indecision over vocational goals, his candid experiences with love and rejection, the overwhelming isolation inherent in his academic pursuits -- to more global concerns, especially his acute awareness of the increasing social and political turbulence surrounding him. By grappling with these issues in his writing, he explored passionate emotions, released tension, and, at times, resolved doubts evoked through his introspection. But more important, he used this outpouring to hone his creative skills and develop his personal and professional identity, ultimately creating this tangible record of his travail and his ecstasy, his certitude and his confusion, and, finally, his journey into the heart of the person he would never stop becoming -- a poet.

The Messenger
Author: Brian T. Atkinson
Publisher: Texas A&M University Press
ISBN: 1623497795
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Texas singer-songwriter Hayes Carll declared, “Ray would be at the top of the list if I were gonna read about somebody’s life.” In The Messenger: The Songwriting Legacy of Ray Wylie Hubbard, author, journalist, and music producer Brian T. Atkinson demonstrates why Carll and so many others hold Ray Wylie Hubbard in such high regard. Atkinson takes readers into and beyond the seedy bar in Red River, New Mexico, where the incident occurred that inspired Hubbard’s most famous song, “Redneck Mother.” Hubbard tells the stories, and Atkinson enlists other musicians to expound on the nature of his abiding influence as songwriter, musician, and unflinching teller of uncomfortable truths. Featuring interviews with well-known artists such as Eric Church, Steve Earle, Kinky Friedman, Chris Robinson, and Jerry Jeff Walker, and also mining the insights of up-and-comers such as Elizabeth Cook, Jaren Johnston, Ben Kweller, Aaron Lee Tasjan, and Paul Thorn, The Messenger makes clear why so many musicians across a wide spectrum admire Ray Wylie Hubbard. Readers will also learn why “Redneck Mother,” the song that put Hubbard on the map for most listeners, is also a curse, of sorts, in its diminution of both his spiritual depth as a lyricist and his multidimensional musical reach. As Hubbard himself says, “The song probably should have never been written, let alone recorded, let alone recorded again.. . . the most important part of songwriting is right after you write a song, ask yourself, ‘Can I sing this for twenty-five years?’” Atkinson’s work makes a convincing case that Ray Wylie Hubbard’s truest and most lasting contributions will long outlive him. And, with a couple of good breaks, they may even outlive “Redneck Mother.”

San Juan Sunrise
Author: Edward J. Lehner
Publisher: Balboa Press
ISBN: 1504383818
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
Jenny was raised, along with her twin brother, in a commune in northern California. Her life there had become a living nightmare from parental neglect and abuse, as well as bullying from her peers. A surprise birthday gift from her grandparents for her eighteenth birthday gave her the ability to run away. She managed to get to her grandparents in Denver who nurtured her and helped her earn her college degree. She moved to southwest Colorado after she graduated, and became a recluse, not trusting that anyone she might meet would not try to torment her as she had been in her childhood. She chose to live her life in isolation from human contact and did so for the next two years: summers of living out of a backpack in the San Juan Mountains and winters spent in a secluded cabin north of Durango. She spent her time exploring the mountain wilderness, reading books, and working on becoming a writer. Her only social interactions during this time of self-imposed seclusion were with the few people she encountered when she had to purchase supplies. Hiking down from the mountains for winter, she has a chance encounter with an older man on whose property she wants to camp for a night. A surprise early snowstorm strands her with this man for the duration and sets in motion a series of events that will lead her on adventures of self discovery that move her from the shadows of her past.
