Framed for Murder

Edward Kendrick

Beschreibung

My name is Charlie English. I'm thirty-eight and homeless, so when a man offered me forty bucks to deliver a message and another forty when I had, I jumped at the chance. I shouldn't have. I walked into the house -- and a murder scene -- barely getting away before the cops arrived.
I needed to get out from under the frame, and knew a private detective who might be willing to help me. There's one problem, though. He's my ex-lover, which could make things dicey. 
He's less than happy to see me when I show up at his office ... until I tell him why I'm there. That piques his interest. Now it's a case of finding out who the dead man was, who killed him, and proving it wasn't me. Can we succeed ... while dealing with our renewed interest in each other?

Bobby and the Beast

Drew Hunt

Bobby Simpson's physiotherapy conference is cancelled at the last minute, so he's forced to travel home earlier than expected. Being blind, Bobby requires passenger assistance at Leeds railway station in order to change trains. When this doesn't arrive, Bobby sets off on his own, only to be told by someone on another platform that he's about to fall onto the tracks.
Phil "Beasty" Beeston is about to catch his train when he sees a blind man near the edge of the platform opposite. He calls out, tells the man to stay where he is, and goes to the man's rescue.
They both miss their train and Phil suggests going for a pint till the next train is due. As they drink, they talk. Phil tells Bobby he's a builder and plays amateur rugby league for the Longton Lightning. He also confesses he's ugly, which partially explains his nickname.
Bobby is more concerned with what a person is like on the inside, and what he's learning about Phil, he likes. Phil's work-acquired muscles don't harm either. As he enjoys helping people, Bobby agrees to become the Lightning's unpaid physio. The job has the added benefit of being able to interact with the hot if emotionally damaged Phil, both professionally and personally.
Phil's life starts to turn around. He gets a promotion at work and his rugby playing improves. He puts this down to Bobby's confidence in him. If only Phil had confidence in himself.
Can Phil's and Bobby's relationship continue to grow, or will it all come crashing down when Phil's ugly past is revealed?

Thresh & Hold

Marlanda Dekine

A New York Times New-in-Poetry feature 
Marlanda Dekine’s debut collection is a holy, radical unlearning and reclamation of self. What does it mean to be a Gullah-Geechee descendant from a rural place where a third of the nation’s founding wealth was harvested by trafficked West and Central Africans? Dekine’s poems travel across age and time, signaling that both the past and future exist in the present. Through erasure and persona, Dekine reimagines intergenerational traumas and calls institutions from the Works Progress Administration narratives to modern-day museums to task. 
Beyond gospel music, fear, and the stories of generations past, Thresh & Hold offers magic, healing, and innovative pathways to manifest intimacy. Dekine remembers, remakes, and brings forth their many selves, traveling far in order to deeply connect to a spiritual home within and all around them, calling: “I am listening to Spirit. I am not dying today.”  
Marlanda Dekine is the winner of the 2021 New Southern Voices Poetry Prize, judged by Gabrielle Calvocoressi.
