Detroit - A Play

Lisa Damour

Casa editrice: Farrar, Straus and Giroux

Sinossi

The Pulitzer Prize-finalist play that “speaks to the fractious, frightened American moment" through the lives two couples and their strained friendship (Charles Isherwood, The New York Times).In a "first ring" suburb of a midsize American city, Ben and Mary fire up the grill to welcome the new neighbors who've moved into the long-empty house next door. The fledgling friendship soon veers out of control, shattering the fragile hold that newly unemployed Ben and burgeoning alcoholic Mary have on their way of life—with unexpected comic consequences. Detroit is a fresh, offbeat look at what happens when we dare to open ourselves up to something new. After premiering at Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre to rave reviews, Lisa D'Amour's brilliant and timely play won the 2013 Obie Award, as well as becoming a finalist for the Pulitzer and Susan Smith Blackburn Awards.

Gothic Poetry

Rachel Lawson

Gothic Poetry by poet and short story writer Rachel LawsonLost In The Shadows Of The Past 
I am lost and forgotten as a living being, 
Lost in the grim dark shadows of death, 
I live in legend and as a vague memory of life, 
I am as I was but am nothing but dust and bone, 
A mere curiosity of a life lived, a requiem. 
Lost in the shadows of the past, forgotten to time

Grains of Galaxies - A...

Kristi Brooks

This collection of short stories and poems ranges from mysterious fires that spring up from the earth to ghostly spirits roaming in a long-forgotten home to true love that is found and lost way too soon. 
There are tales of gods who have gone mad and those who have forgotten what it feels like to create and love with empathy. There are encounters that seem like normal everyday situations, but they are anything but normal. Dispersed throughout are poems that tie together the ideas of worlds within worlds and galaxies within a grain of sand.

A physician by trade, Chekhov is also often referred to as one of the three seminal figures in the birth of early modernism.
