  Welcome to Little America Avon Park, a small town located within Highlands County, FL. Where violence, hustling and scheming are an everyday occurrence and there is a very thin line between loyalty, envy and jealousy. Terrance Young is a self-made entrepreneur, who has been involved in the street life since he was a jit. For the past nine months he has been devising a plan to transition into the corporate world. He has the perfect strategy to exit the game while setting his crew and their families up for life. As he attempts to bring his plan into fruition, all hell breaks loose, bodies are dropping left and right, assumptions are being made, loyalty and trust have been broken, and plots to take down his crew are in motion, leaving everyone he loves in jeopardy.

  Theatre Royal. The very name summons up something of grandeur and eloquence. And it was. Hosted by Laurence Olivier, these big-name productions also included the creme de la creme of acting talents from John Gielgud, Ralph Richardson, and Orson Welles to Trevor Howard, Michael Redgrave, and Olivier himself. They were based on works by the worlds’ leading authors, among them Charles Dickens, Henry James, Oscar Wilde, and Anton Chekhov.  These are but a few of whose company we shall be keeping as we raise the curtain on our first installment of theatrical history.

  After the Fall: Dirges Among Ruins

  This collection explores the creative space of poetry as a means to unravel feelings evoked by the violence of war or by everyday traumatic events. One may come to terms with uncomfortable, including unspeakable, feelings by describing them with imagery from nature and one’s immediate environment. By participating in grieving, the self can better face any lingering effects of trauma. In this creative space, dramatic speakers retell stories and give vent to contradictory feelings through silences and free play. Their accounts attest to the dappled beauty of the human condition even if the full nature, scope and effects of traumatic memories are always beyond their grasp.

  In this acclaimed poetry volume, the Pulitzer and National Book Award–winner explores lifelong love and the invisible boundary between life and death. 
   
  Over his long and prolific career, Galway Kinnell established himself as one of America’s greatest and most popular poets. In 2006, after a decade-long pause in creative output, he delivered what would become one of his last and most celebrated collections, Strong Is Your Hold.  
   
  The book’s title derives from Walt Whitman’s “Last Invocation”: “Strong is your hold O mortal flesh, / Strong is your hold O love.” In this collection, Kinnell gives us poems of intermingling with the natural world, love poems and evocations of sexuality, poems about his father, his children, poet friends, poet heroes, and mythic figures. Included also is “When the Towers Fell,” his stunning requiem for those who died in the World Trade Center on 9/11. 
   
  This eBook edition of Strong Is Your Hold does not include a CD or audio download.
