  Murder and madness, witches and war:  Librivox presents a recording of Macbeth, perhaps Shakespeare's best known tragedy.  Macbeth, a general in King Duncan's army, is given a prophecy by a trio of witches: he himself will become king.  Fired by ambition and goaded by his ruthless wife, he murders Duncan and assumes the throne.  More killings follow as Macbeth attempts to retain his crown, until he discovers that prophecies are not always what they seem.  (Summary by Laurie Anne Walden)

  “Bruce E. Whitacre’s ability to capture this support network and the extraordinary efforts of Jennie Hicks in a manner that reaches beyond the usual literary or arts reader makes her story appealing to a much wider audience” —Diane Donovan, Midwest Book Review 
  “Side by side with the paintings, Whitacre’s book serves as a deeply personal yet relatable account of one woman’s life and turn-of-the-century lifestyle—and clearly demonstrates why this talented painter and pioneer stands as someone to remember.” —BookLife by Publishers Weekly 
  “Bruce E. Whitacre’s collection, The Elk in the Glade, is a lovely and loving celebration of his remarkable great grandmother, Jennie Hicks, life and art, and an inspiring example of how a woman's artistic discipline gave her the courage and insight to transcend the hardships of the Nebraska frontier.” —Ladette Randolph, Editor in Chief, Ploughshares 
  Based on personal memories and family oral history, Whitacre’s debut collection of sixteen poems traces the life and legacy of a family matriarch, his paternal great-grandmother, Jennie Hicks. The daughter of American pioneers, she marries a successful farmer, bearing him three girls, seeing them all married, only to outlive him and the farm. Once again alone and facing hardship, she transforms an almost forgotten hobby, her young girl dream, into a brilliant thirty-year career as a successful landscape painter, the future pride of her hometown, Farnam, Nebraska, and an important figure in American art. Lovers of American history, art, and strong female characters will enjoy these chronicles in verse.

  Chance Encounters - Poems

  A new collection from Sister Sharon Hunter, CJ celebrating the people and circumstances who help make us what we are.
  
  "For several months in 2020, I awoke most days at 3:00 a.m. to a mind busily at work; my own, of course. I had a choice to make, ignore it or explore it. Vivid memories, pictures really, of people I once knew climbed from the depth of my subconscious where I'd cleverly assigned them. They captured my attention, and rightfully so, for I owed them. When we reject our heritage, as I did, because it's not image worthy, we cancel as well those who enhanced our lives. Good people, brave people, wise people, sometimes shady and crooked people, all contribute to our circle of life. To fully understand me, I must include them. Chance Encounters is my thank you to those I carelessly tossed away in quest of shallow acceptability. They're alive once again on the pages of this book. And I'm forever grateful for their vibrant beauty, courage, ingenuity, and fascinating eccentricities. They paid the world the high compliment of being themselves." —Sister Sharon Hunter, CJ
