  Broadway Is My Beat Collection 1

  Broadway Is My Beat was a dark, gritty radio crime drama that ran on CBS from 1949 until 1954. The series was originally broadcast from New York with Anthony Ross portraying Times Square Police Detective Danny Clover. Produced by Lester Gottlieb, it was directed by John Dietz. By the thirteenth episode, the series moved to Hollywood (still set in NYC) with producer Elliott Lewis directing a new cast with scripts by Morton Fine and David Friedkin (the duo that would later write and develop TV's popular secret-agent series I Spy). The opening theme of "I'll Take Manhattan" introduced Detective Danny Clover (now played by Larry Thor) as a hardened New York City copy who worked homicide "from Times Square to Columbus Circle—the gaudiest, the most violent, the lonesomest mile in the world." Clover narrated tales of the Great White Way to the music of Wilbur Hatch and Alexander Courage. The recreation of Manhattan's rich, aural tapestry required the talents of three sound effects artists. Cast regulars included Charles Calvert (as Sgt. Gino Tartaglia) and Jack Kruschen (as Sgt. Muggavan). Now, enjoy 12 of the finest episodes from this excellent crime series in this collection.

  Roughly Speaking - New and...

  Every poet has a drawerful of rejection letters.
  The poems in Roughly Speaking by Eddie Gibbons have for many years - some since as long ago as 1980 - lived in the shadows of their siblings who went on to have wildly exciting lives in Eddie's published poetry collections.
  Roughly Speaking is Eddie Gibbons' fifth volume of poetry and contains both new and rejected poems. Though some of the works included in Roughly Speaking have had brief moments of infamy in poetry magazines the majority have never seen the bright light of public acceptance, their prime achievement to date being the collection of rejection slips.
  To keep these overlooked orphans company there is a small band of brand new poems ― although the readers will have to make up their minds which is which.
  WHAT THEY SAID ABOUT HIM:
  "This particular selection would not be a good fit for our coming edition."
  The OFI Press
  " Unfortunately, we will not be accepting your work this time."
  Ink, Sweat & Tears
  "However, we do not feel the work is quite right for the magazine."
  Atrium
  "Eddie's boundless capacity for forging a funny and poignant poetic language from common speech makes everyday things shine."
  Seán Bradley
  "Eddie can be formally elegant, devastatingly iconoclastic, and is a master of everything he puts his pen to."
  Anna Crowe
  "None of the work you sent is suitable for our magazine."
  Obsessed With Pipework
  "Eddie's poems should be on the national curriculum."
  Kirsty Gunn

  Harbinger - Poems

  Shelley Puhak

   “The speaker in Shelley Puhak’s Harbinger is no closer to knowing herself than I am, than we are, which is why we trust her. Each similarly titled poem holds a triptych mirror up to the artist and, in so doing, up to us all, so we may better see ourselves as we are. In ever-changing form.” —Nicole Sealey  
  A stunning meditation on artistic creation and historical memory from the winner of the National Poetry Series, chosen by Nicole Sealey 
  From “Portrait of the artist, gaslit” to “Portrait of the artist’s ancestors” to “Portrait of the artist reading a newspaper,” the poems in Harbinger reflect the many facets of the artistic self as well as the myriad influences and experiences that contribute to that identity. 
  “Portrait of the artist as a young man” has long been the default position, but these poems carve out a different vantage point. Seen through the lens of motherhood, of working as a waitress, of watching election results come in, or of simply sitting in a waiting room, making art—and making an artist—is a process wherein historical events collide with lived experience, both deeply personal but also unfailingly political. When we make art, for what (and to whom) are we accountable? And what does art-making demand of us, especially as apocalypse looms? 
  With its surprising insights, Harbinger, the latest book from acclaimed poet Shelley Puhak, shows us the reality of the constantly evolving and unstable self, a portrait of the artist as fragmentary, impressionable, and always in flux.
