Creede
After receiving Loris message, I called my parents to see if they would keep the boys while I was gone. That phone call didnt go as planned. Mom and Dad decided that they needed a vacation, and it would be great fun to take the boys and fly with me to Colorado. Mom was sure that there would be plenty of room in the jet. They could all fish, raft, hike, and have fun while Lori and I met with the local authorities and tried to help Cassie. The big jet that Lori had chartered was certainly large enough to carry the five of us, and my parents could rent a cabin at Steiners Ranch. It might be fun for the boys. Tyler and Cody have always loved going to Colorado for vacations. So there we all sat o...

This is My Best
We all have our favorite pieces by our beloved writers. But what do they think is their own best work? Inspired by an acclaimed collection published in 1942, the editors at the Quality Paperback Book Club invited fiction writers, essayists, poets, playwrights, and cartoonists to choose and comment on their best work. The result is a veritable who's who of contemporary literature and popular culture, including selections by Anne Tyler, Arthur Miller, Gary Trudeau, David Sedaris, Rita Dove, Tom Robbins, Ruth Reichl, T.C. Boyle, Mary Karr, John Updike, and dozens more. Each selection is rewarding in itself; more still for the introductions in which the author explains his or her choice, shedding light on both the work and creative process. Appealing to readers of the annual best short story collections, writers, and fans of the stellar list of contributors, This Is My Best is a landmark literary anthology.
Everywhere at Once
William Greenway's Everywhere at Once travels between muggy recollections of a Southern Baptist childhood, meditations on the otherworldly beauty of Wales, and commentary on life, death, and the revelry in between. In lines taut with bluesy musical precision, Greenway clearly demarcates the before and after, pivoting on his wife's stroke and arduous recovery. This is our new umbilicus, / like those childhood cans on a string, Greenway declares in Cells, a poem that likens his beloved to a preemie, struggling back / from your ~fatal' stroke / to be my wife again. For every witty turn of phrase, a punch beyond the punch line stuns us with wisdom and transcendence. Whether we are witnessing Feeding Time at the Fuel and Fuddle or The Path to Iskeroon, the constant company of a wry conductor's voice guides and provokes, paying tribute to the humble moments in life, and even the world beyond / the reach of light and love and words.
