  From London to Cornwall, then to Italy and France, a short, shabby priest takes on bandits, traitors and killers. Why is he so successful? The reason is that after years spent in the priesthood, Father Brown knows human nature and is not afraid of its dark side. Thus he understands criminal motivation and how to deal with it. The award-winning Colonial Radio Theatre on the Air has dramatized G.K. Chesterton's Father Brown stories from The Innocence of Father Brown with a full cast, music score, and sound effects. 
   
  Included in Vol. 2:

  Junichuro Matsumato is a handsome 42-year-old man: dark-haired, wealthy, and devastated. 
  He stares forlornly at the small glass buddha statue illuminated by the blue LED light behind it. 
  There are thousands of the buddhas behind the glowing panes of glass, five hundred per wall. 
  For easy identification, the light behind his wife’s buddha glows a different hue as he swipes his card to enter. 
  He doesn’t need to be shown where his wife’s glass box is. 
  Junichuro visits here every day and has done for 21 months. He never cries.

  The Ends of the Earth

  A poetic guide for Armageddon, this poetry collection moves through technological disasters, environmental nightmares, and broken relationships to find love cast away at the end of days. The urban settings are counterbalanced with the idea of escape, deserted islands, and ocean solitudes. In this assemblage of playful, challenging, and beautiful poems, Jacqueline Turner uses the interrobang's question mark combined with an exclamation point, the excited question's a symbol of our times to move the work through a host of genres. Like notes washed ashore in bottles, this book seeks an exchange and its scope is as vast as the question of how to survive modernity.
