Regulars And Refugees

Audio Cd

BY CARRIE NEWCOMER
A fascinating conceptual work, 'Regulars and Refugees.' Carrie delves into the stories of the patrons at Betty's Diner, a fictitious restaurant where souls both tragic and triumphant dine side-by-side.

A Text For Voices

BY JOHN REEVES
Written and arranged to be heard as well as read, these eloquent poems capture John Reeves' own experience of hearing Bach's work performed in various cities around the world. The poems are introduced and linked by short passages of prose. These identify the cities visited by Reeves, annotate Bach's response to the Passion as a believer and composer, evoke the various church liturgies commemorating the Passion, and relate each poem to the point reached in the Passion story. The book includes an English translation of Bach's libretto.SECONDHAND COPY. PRETTY MUCH AS NEW with atmospheric tracing paper like dustcover.

This Fire

This Fire

Politics, Love And Other Small Miracles

BY JOHN MCCUTCHEON
"... When we gather 'round that fire there's no telling what stories might be told. Songs of love and politics, courage and forgiveness, parody and pathos, somehow they are not unrelated. When I gathered the songs for this collection they captured a small piece of time in a long life of trying hard to pay attention. They seemed to remind me of some small truths I've learned. If hard times can't have humor we won't survive them. If old love doesn't have some memory of youthful passion it, too, will fade. And the many stories of ordinary people responding to ugliness with beauty continue to fascinate and thrill me. Politics, love and other small miracles...all fueled by this same fire."
