![]() She will talk to the grasshoppers in a low, soothing voice, and hopefully they will be less likely to panic and mash themselves against the dangerous metal stalactites. She’ll catch smaller grasshoppers, ones that don’t jump as high or as powerfully, and because of their compact size there will be more leg-stretching room inside the jar. She worries, though, that they could hurt themselves by jumping into the sharp edges of the lid’s punched-in holes. The grasshoppers will be okay because she’ll make sure to keep the jar out of direct sunlight. ![]() Wen promised Daddy Andrew she would release the grasshoppers before they got cooked inside the homemade terrarium. The glass jar cradled against her chest smells faintly of grape jelly and is sticky on the inside. She studies the front yard, watching for the twitchy, mechanical motion and frantic jumps of grasshoppers. A warm breeze ripples through the blades, leaves, and crablike petals of clover flowers. The girl with the dark hair walks down the wooden front stairs and lowers herself into the yellowing lagoon of ankle-high grass. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Samantha Towle–one of my absolute go-to authors–kept me hooked with this romantic story of two people who desperately needed each other.Ĭarrie is running away from a horribly abusive husband to a small town in Texas.

Frebergs show which ran a brief 15 weeks on the CBS radio network provided the last gasp of original comedy entertainment on radio. So by the time The Stan Freberg Show began to air in 1957, Benny had been off of radio (except for reruns) for two years, and that newfangled entertainment box with the 13-inch black-and-white screen had already displaced radio as Americas primary source of at-home entertainment. And although dozens of programs dramatic and comedic were popular, you can link radios season of dominance directly to The Jack Benny Program, which ran from 1932 to 1955 before switching to television. Radio was once the primary source of entertainment in the average American household, from the mid-1930s through the mid-1950s. ![]() ![]() ![]() The book also contains Borges’ poetry masterpiece, The Maker and all the rest of writings right up to his last piece, Shakespeare Memory, which came out in the 1980’s. All the stories have been faithfully translated to English by Andrew Hurley.The book comprises of Borges’ works right from his debut work in 1935, The Universal History Of Iniquity, Ficciones and The Aleph- a popular collection of short stories which earned him immense, worldwide popularity because of the stories’ range of imagination and the influential nature of the writing. ![]() The book is an attempt to collect all the world-class works of Borges within one publication. ![]() Collected Fictions is a compilation of tales of fantasy and bliss that were written by a well-known writer of 20th century, Jorge Luis Borges. ![]() ![]() ![]() The new edition contains three additional signatures (48 pages) covering new works, such as the Dietch Gallery exhibition in SOHO that coincided with the book's opening and The Happy Film, a documentary that Stefan is launching next autumn.

Things I have learned in my life so far Author Stefan Sagmeister Contributors Daniel Nettle, Nancy Spector Publisher Harry N. The projects in this book began as a list Stefan Sagmeister found in his diary under the title "Things I have learned in my life so far." Given an incredible amount of freedom by some of his clients, he began transforming these aphorisms into typographic works they have since appeared as French and Portuguese billboards, a Japanese annual report, on German television, in an Austrian magazine, as a New York direct mailer and as an American poster campaign. ![]() ![]() Reprinted in 2023 with the help of original edition published long back.

So I dusted off my college textbook, and found this play. Hey, when you’re on a roll with incredibly unpopular Elizabethan titles, you’ve got to ride the wave. However, after audiences reacted so positively to KING JOHN, and - while it didn’t draw as many people as one of the most popular comedies, it did better than expected in terms of audience numbers - it seemed like a great time to reconsider THE SPANISH TRAGEDY. But little known plays by practically unknown Elizabethan playwrights don’t immediately correlate with box office success, so we never really took seriously the idea of staging the play. Over the past 15 years or so, I’d mention it every so often when were were choosing a season. And I vaguely remembered that it was a revenge tragedy. I vaguely remembered that I’d learned it was important and exciting. I read this play in college in a class called “Other Elizabethan and Jacobean Playwrights” and for years I had a nagging feeling that I wanted to produce it. (with a few scenes probably written by William Shakespeare) ![]() ![]() ![]() We did publish him later, of course, with poems in Slow Dancer 19/20 (1987) and 22 (1989), as well as a pamphlet, The Walking Horses (1988) – his third – which included ‘Greenhouse’, so I sort of got my way in the end. That’s great, I said, trying to make it sound enthusiastic rather than grudging – here was someone who was going somewhere and without my help. Sorry, he said, but it’s just been taken by the Times Literary Supplement. I was particularly struck by one of Armitage’s poems called ‘Greenhouse’ and, at the end of the evening, thinking, I suppose that he might be quite pleased, asked him if I could publish it in the next issue of Slow Dancer magazine. And let’s take a moment here to realise I’m relying on a somewhat faulty memory, but the basic facts are as they are. Being the visitor, I got to read last, with two young poets I had yet to meet – Simon Armitage and Craig Smith – forming the undercard. ![]() This during that brief envelope of time when the Today Programme was seriously asking if it was true Huddersfield was the poetry capital of Great Britain. Somewhere in the mid-80s it would have been and I’d been invited up from Nottingham, where I was then living, to take part in a series of readings at the Central Library in Huddersfield that were being organised by Peter Sansom, he of The Poetry Business, Smith/Doorstop and The North. ![]() |
