Produced in 458 BC, Aeschylus' Choephori is the second play in the Oresteian trilogy. The bloodshed begun in the first play with the murder of Agamemnon by his wife Clytemnestra is here continued when Agamemnon's son Orestes avenges his father's death by killing Clytemnestra. It is not until the third and final play, Eumenides, that peace is restored to the family of the Atreidae. The introduction discusses the pre-Aeschylean 'Orestes' tradition in literature and art, as well as the place of Choephori within the Oresteia, its imagery and dramatic structure, the questions of staging the play, and the manuscript tradition.

About the Book 
Dallas Falkenhayn bakes and sells the most amazing bread. He is excellent in the kitchen. Creative. Careful. Precise. His only problem is there is an entire world that exists outside of his kitchen. He tries not to think about it. Or visit it. 
Flannel, Georgia is a tiny town in southern Georgia. They have an alligator processing plant. A high school. And the most railway traffic in the entire south-east. Not much changes in Flannel. And when things do change, they don’t change very quickly. 
Dallas doesn’t want to go to Flannel, but he has too. Flannel doesn’t particularly want a bakery, but it gets one. 
And then there is that whole murder thing that happens. 
About the Author 
Clay is very boring. That’s why he writes. He really likes to stay at home. If there is ever a choice between going and not going literally anywhere --well that’s not a choice at all.  
His goal in life is to be in his PJs by five pm, everyday. On good days he doesn’t get out his PJs in the first place. He loves movies, baseball, and board games. His favorite thing in the world is his family. And his favorite thing not in the world is the James Webb Space Telescope. Unless we’re counting Jedis. If we’re counting Jedis than he’ll take Luke Skywalker over James Webb.

Informed by the death of a beloved brother, here are the stories of childhood, its thicket of sex and sorrow and joy, boys and girls growing into men and women, stories of a brother who in his dying could teach how to be most alive. What the Living Do reflects ““a new form of confessional poetry, one shared to some degree by other women poets such as Sharon Olds and Jane Kenyon. Unlike the earlier confessional poetry of Plath, Lowell, Sexton et al., Howe’s writing is not so much a moan or a shriek as a song. It is a genuinely feminine form…a poetry of intimacy, witness, honesty, and relation”” (Boston Globe).



This audio edition of What the Living Do is beautifully read by the author. Produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.
