The satirical "To my coy mistress", inspired by T.S. Eliot's Cats is a flight of fancy...

Report copyright infringementby Ed Luker (Author)Ed Luker's Other Life is an acerbic and intelligent collection with heaps of personality.

I got to know the author's dad in all his humanity; he is now part of my family. A wonderful com...

Report copyright infringementby Michele Parker Randall (Author)There's a rope between two burning towers. One tower burns anxiously. The other tower (the left side of the brain) burns orderly. Randall is dancing on that rope. It is the motion-a footfall, a locomotive blowing hard, a wave-that keeps her from falling. An ecstasy is a song to motion, to ex stasis, and Randall belts it true enough to pop the deepest bass string on your Fender Squier guitar. -Barrett Warner, Why Is It So Hard to K...
