Sinopse

A lyrical wilderness of power, wealth, leisure and desire, the poems of Country Club freewheel across state lines with panache and flagrant feeling. In this bold debut from Andy McGuire, all passions – even unpleasant ones – stare down the barrel of a world in which freedom is the fifty-first state, and love is the eleventh province.
  
   
The manatee wades out of the water and roars at the sightseersThat one of them owes him a drink.From the beach below the boardwalk, cock-a-doodle-do!What about a Christmas bowlcut over by the mangrove manatees!Because in Florida there are FloridiansAnd they are born Floridians at large.Every motionCan’t stop its own ocean.The oceans' motions make mistakes.Some of the dying are unspeakableIn their thinness, poorly disguised meat mannequins.The mosquitoes are so bigThey bleed you like a pig.Being eaten alive is an acquired taste.

"Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore— While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping—rapping at my chamber door. "Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door — Only this and nothing more." Those sonorous and somber words of Edgar Allan Poe that begin The Raven are part of most everyone's fond educational memories. Beautiful and haunting to hear and even more fun to read aloud. In this recording I have just attempted to express my enjoyment of the beauty in some favorite Poe poems. Beside The Raven, there are Alone; A Dream Within A Dream; Annabel Lee; City In the Sea; The Bells; A Dream Within a Dream; Annabel Lee; Dreamland; Evening Star; Lenore; Eldorado; A Valentine and "The Happiest Day". Hopefully listeners will enjoy hearing them half as much as I enjoyed the selfish pleasure of recording them.

The year is 1842. The British Empire’s bold venture into Afghanistan has dissolved into a horrific nightmare. After installing the unpopular Shah Shuja Durrani on the throne in Kabul, the occupying forces under the inept command of General Elphinstone find themselves besieged, their political envoy Sir William Macnaghten brutally murdered by Wazir Akbar Khan, leader of the Afghan resistance. 
Forced into a humiliating capitulation, the sixteen thousand souls of the British column – soldiers, sepoys, and a vast multitude of civilian camp followers – begin their infamous winter retreat. "Gandamak's Fury: The Road from Kabul" charts this catastrophic journey, a ninety-mile exodus from the Afghan capital towards the distant hope of Jalalabad, a path that would become a byword for military disaster. 
"Gandamak's Fury: The Road from Kabul" is an unflinching, epic portrayal of one of history’s most harrowing military retreats. It explores the catastrophic consequences of imperial hubris, the brutal realities o

In A Cemetery for Holes, poetic language bends and breaks, resists and reforms under the stress of family trauma. Consensual reality shifts with nonconsensual harm. It is this history of violence which is ultimately, confronted, fought against, and overcome. While engaged in this struggle, the poems also strive to rebuild, to console and to rediscover the world, its beauty, tenderness, humour, and joy.
