  Playwright Maurice is on the very verge of having success and notoriety upon the opening of his new play. In fact, he's so elated at his future prospects that he's decided to propose to his mistress, Jeanne  once the evening is over. However, he comes into contact with a femme fatale named Henriette, who so beguiles him with danger and mystery that he doesn't attend his own show and instead spends the entire night with her, forgetting all about his mistress and child. Word spreads throughout France the following morning, and the public utterly shames the impromptu couple for spending the night together, causing the theater to pull Maurice's play, Jeanne to leave Maurice, and Henriette to scheme upon the molding of this now contemptible beast for her own means.... 
   Come see the consequences of actions and the impact of societal expectations in this strange yet unwavering comedy known as "Crime and Crime."

  The Soul We Share

  Winner of the 2023 Aryamati Collection Competition.
  Through visceral and vulnerable poetry, Ricky Ray meditates on the pain and gratitude that arise from a keenly felt awareness of our fleeting existence. Recognizing his humanity as a facet of natural processes, Ricky measures the ache of living in a disabled body against the joy of \'being lived\' by the places he inhabits. As we accompany him and his soul dog, Addie, through the scenic woodlands of New England, the concrete jungle of Manhattan, and the swamps of the Deep South, the lines between humans, animals and nature begin to blur and move in concert. Shifting between forms both physical and elemental, we read of an existence lived not 'upon / but as one' with the Earth, \'whose being we are throughout and beyond our brief sojourn as human\'. At the heart of this collection is the transformative experience of Ricky's life with an old brown dog, which teaches that soul isn't merely something we possess—it's an animacy deeply shared.

  Babble is to speak rapidly and randomly as did the people at the tower of Babel when they lost their ability to speak to one another. Here in my babbling book of poetry I unite together foreign languages of different worlds scattered far and wide 
  To well describe and depict another realm far better than best-“Good, Gooder and Goodest….” A ‘Maguk Kingdom’ of babbling towers, brooks, spires and domes, one of my marvellous stories ‘Maguk World of Princess Cardinal Fairy Alice with her Lil’ cat Papillon pet Fairy Dinah’, falling through an endless Maguk Well, who travel in an ethereal adventure to the bottomless pits of the world in an unparalleled universe beyond countless Giga bytes and Decimbleters (my own made up words of poetic art) including so many funny poems inside short poetry story. One will thoroughly enjoy reading with great gusto and cherishing Alice through another spiritual perspective. 
  Therefore concluding one last example the Hebrew word ‘ayin’ which is not only the name of a Hebrew letter but also the Hebrew term for eye. My audience be like the “Hebrew Eye”- “Eyes that are windows to the soul. Looking at these poetically charged organs one may proceed to read into ‘Magic world!’- ‘THE MAGUK WELL’

  ONE OF PUBLISHERS WEEKLY'S TOP 10 POETRY BOOKS OF FALL 2017 
  NPR'S MOST ANTICIPATED POETRY BOOKS OF 2017 
   
  A striking, full-length debut collection from Virgin Islands-born poet Nicole Sealey 
  The existential magnitude, deep intellect, and playful subversion of St. Thomas-born, Florida-raised poet Nicole Sealey’s work is restless in its empathic, succinct examination and lucid awareness of what it means to be human. 
  The ranging scope of inquiry undertaken in Ordinary Beast—at times philosophical, emotional, and experiential—is evident in each thrilling twist of image by the poet. In brilliant, often ironic lines that move from meditation to matter of fact in a single beat, Sealey’s voice is always awake to the natural world, to the pain and punishment of existence, to the origins and demises of humanity. Exploring notions of race, sexuality, gender, myth, history, and embodiment with profound understanding, Sealey’s is a poetry that refuses to turn a blind eye or deny. It is a poetry of daunting knowledge.  
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

  The Sun Also Rises

  A timeless classic of love, longing, and the search for meaning, The Sun Also Rises is Ernest Hemingway’s definitive novel of the Lost Generation. 
  Follow war veteran and journalist Jake Barnes as he navigates the vibrant streets of 1920s Paris and the bullfighting arenas of Spain with his circle of expatriate friends. At the heart of it all is Lady Brett Ashley—beautiful, charismatic, and unattainable—whose complicated relationships fuel the novel’s emotional depth. Against a backdrop of café culture, revelry, and moral disillusionment, Hemingway’s spare, powerful prose captures the emptiness and excess of a postwar world. 
  Now brought to life in this evocative audiobook, The Sun Also Rises immerses listeners in Hemingway’s iconic style and unforgettable characters. Whether you’re discovering it for the first time or returning to an old favorite, this masterful narration delivers the novel’s raw emotion and haunting beauty like never before. 
  Experience the novel that defined a generation—listen today.
