  Considered the greatest baseball poem of all time, "Casey at the Bat" is the beloved tale of the Mudville Nine, a hapless baseball club entering the ninth inning of a ballgame down two runs and with little hope of succeeding...unless their star slugger Casey can manage to get a turn at the plate. With two outs, the outlook is grim but...when the two players preceding Casey manage to get on base, the stage is set for a grand finale, giving the citizens of Mudville hope that their hero can save the day! Ernest Lawrence Thayer originally wrote this poem for the San Francisco Examiner and it would go on to become what Baseball Almanac called "the single most famous baseball poem ever written." It is here presented in its original and unabridged form and enhanced with music and sound effects to bring the listener right into the ballpark!

In this remarkable memoir of creative nonfiction, Imé takes you on an unforgettable odyssey that traverses the chasm between illness and earthly delights. From Netflix binges to the warmth of oxytocin, and from the intimacy of hospital date nights to the touch of the divine, this is a story that will capture your heart and soul. Imé Corkery's brave narrative not only explores the trials and tribulations of living with Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction (SOD), a rare and excruciating chronic illness, but also delves deep into the essence of love, both human and mythological. As you embark on this medical journey alongside our resilient heroine, you'll witness the escalating trials, the strengthening of drugs, and the profound descent into a world of myth. Persephone's Pancreas is a profound exploration of love, pain, and the intricate dance between the two. If you've ever experienced the rawness of human emotions, this poetic masterpiece is a must-read, offering solace and inspiration to all who seek the light in the darkest of times. 
  Harrowing, sharp-witted, tender, raw and necessary, this is an indelible account from a poet with the sheer nerve to keep testifying, even when ‘pain is at its zenith.’ Persephone’s Pancreas is a collection from a writer who deserves the title heroine. - Tracey Slaughter  
  Persephone's Pancreas draws us skin to skin with chronic pain...sensory detail, myth and the everyday, to find the things needed to survive the liminal and lost zones of a long ‘sick girl summer.’- Aimee-Jane Anderson-O’Connor

  This is a disturbing, poetic account of an unnamed dictator’s eyebrow whose longings, delusions of grandeur, and curious influence have shaped history in ways previously unknown—until now. Within a surreal tale about an eyebrow’s thirst for recognition and power, a love story also unexpectedly emerges. 
   
  Finalist for the Singapore Book Publishers Association Awards 2016. 
   
  “An enthralling pyroclastic flow of poetic flagellation ripping the mask of stoic indifference and lapdog-media concocted majestic stature of a narcissistic tyrant. And every wordstroke of the poet never fails to decode and eviscerate the megalomaniac to the grave.” 
  - Elangovan, recipient of the 1997 SEA Write Award

  "All fire and surprise, sadness and forgiveness...I could never say enough about the beauty of this work." —Jericho Brown 
  "Cameron's poems are wonderfully full, energetic, and ardent." —Vijay Seshadri 
  "McGill skillfully navigates the mysteries of relationship, memory, and regret as the best poets do." —Dorianne Laux 
  "It’s been a long time since I have heard the 'god of small thunder' echo so powerfully in a collection." —Campbell McGrath 
  Cameron McGill’s debut collection of poetry, In the Night Field, spotlights the effects of memory: its startling artistry, varied discontents, and casual fallibility. These poems chart the complex relationship between mental health and place; the difficult paths home can be lonely and circuitous, the emotional coordinates we map along the way a reminder of those intimate regions that hold and haunt us. These can be isolating passages, but are just as often fertile: “I walk further each day toward the strange / austerity my heart makes of reason.” Between the attentive, persistent self and the longed-for, absent other arises a fragmented conversation, an exchange that’s in a constant state of arrival. As McGill shows us, memories are a corrective, carrying back to us occasions for instruction, reconciliation, or in those astonishing flashes of clarity, what again hopes to be loved.
