  The Pushcart Prize–winning poet’s memoir of his criminal youth and years in prison: a “brave and heartbreaking” tale of triumph over brutal adversity (The Nation).   Jimmy Santiago Baca’s “astonishing narrative” of his life before, during, and immediately after the years he spent in the maximum-security prison garnered tremendous critical acclaim. An important chronicle that “affirms the triumph of the human spirit,” it went on to win the prestigious 2001 International Prize (Arizona Daily Star).   Long considered one of the best poets in America today, Baca was illiterate at the age of twenty-one when he was sentenced to five years in Florence State Prison for selling drugs in Arizona. This raw, unflinching memoir is the remarkable tale of how he emerged after his years in the penitentiary—much of it spent in isolation—with the ability to read and a passion for writing poetry.   “Proof there is always hope in even the most desperate lives.” —Fort Worth Star-Telegram   “A hell of a book, quite literally. You won’t soon forget it.” —The San Diego U-T   “This book will have a permanent place in American letters.” —Jim Harrison, New York Times–bestselling author of A Good Day to Die

  How Plays Work (revised and...

  David Adger

  In How Plays Work, distinguished playwright David Edgar examines the mechanisms and techniques which dramatists throughout the ages have employed to structure their plays and to express their meaning.
  Written for playwrights and playgoers alike, Edgar's analysis starts with the building blocks of whole plays – plot, character-creation, genre and structure – and moves on to scenes and devices. He shows how plays share a common architecture without which the uniqueness of their authors' vision would be invisible.
  How Plays Work is both a masterclass for playwrights and playmakers and a fascinating guide to the anatomy of drama. In this revised edition, Edgar brings the book right up to date with analyses of many recent plays, as well as explorations of emerging genres and new innovations in playwriting practice.
  'A brilliantly illuminating, bang-up-to-date, unmissable read' April De Angelis
  'A book of real theoretical heft written by a major working playwright' Steve Waters
  'An essential accompaniment for anyone fascinated by the craft of dramatic storytelling' John Yorke
  'Every theatremaker should read this book' Pippa Hill, Literary Manager, Royal Shakespeare Company
  'Even if you've read the book before, it demands to be reread' Simon Callow
  'Combines theoretical acumen with the assured know-how of a working dramatist' Terry Eagleton, Times Literary Supplement
