"TWIGS AND BONE is not the first play to put a make-believe baby on stage, but it may be the most hair-raising. This particular phantom infant, conceived by playwright Tiffany Antone, figures prominently and paranormally in a gothic family drama...a gripping ghost story that explodes in your brain.... We are in the childhood home of Moira, now a 30ish lawyer, who has not been back in eight years but has been paying for a landline and a succession of cleaners to help out her demented parents, Bonnie and William. Alarmed when the phone is cut off and having no other way to reach them, Moira shows up for what will be a horrific three-day visit full of recollected resentments, delusions, and downright scary plot twists.... What lifts this family's epic meltdown from excruciating to riveting is not only the astonishing storyline (which I'll not reveal) and delectably idiosyncratic characters but also Antone's exquisite writing. Tucked among the dialog is some breathtaking poetry and imagery.... ...what is] indisputable is that TWIGS AND BONE is as sturdy a psychological thriller as has ever been seen in American theater."John Stoltenberg, DC Theater Arts
Bestselling author Cynthia Reyes returns with Twigs in My Hair, about her lifelong passion for gardens and nature and the surprising relationships and events involved. Gorgeous photographs by Hamlin Grange complement this humorous and profound story. You may conclude, after reading Twigs in My Hair, that a gardener's love for growing things swings from reverence to passion. But there's also a deeply emotional side to this story about what happens when a passionate gardener can no longer do what she loves. A beautiful gift for gardeners and non-gardeners.Praise for Twigs in My Hair"Her best book yet Cynthia's most recent memoir takes us on a journey through the various gardens of her life: the wonder, magic and miracle of her childhood gardens; the gardens she and her husband "negotiate" as a newly married couple; the apprenticeship gardens of family and community; and finally, the mature garden of acceptance. It is a journey full of insights, humour, and struggle, but ultimately, one of growth and the recognition that by nurturing our gardens we nurture ourselves." Jean Gairdner, author and lifelong gardener."How obstinate does a wisteria have to be before you resort to verse? How do you get a fox to pee in a bottle? Cynthia's zestful pursuit of beauty in the gardens of her life is told with her characteristic warmth, humour and honesty. Along the way we meet many friends - human and animal - and absorb her shining examples of passion, patience and, finally, grace. This is a story for our times." Dr. Hilary Custance Green, gardener and author of Border Line, a novel.Whether you are a seasoned gardener or a complete novice, you'll see yourself somewhere in these pages, and I guarantee you'll garner some inspiration for your own gardening life."

Power in life is fleeting. Power over existence is eternal. In Ephorus, the power of creation and destruction lay dormant, waiting to be unleashed to set right the course of time. If Marian were to let her father, The Master of Steinigen, succeed in his quest to obtain them, all life in Ephorus and in the realm of death would be under his rule. If Marian is to succeed, existence would be set on its natural course, restoring the darkness before the dawn of a new creation.

Some have said time is fluid, like a river and events, like eddies in currents, can be altered without affecting the over all flow of the river. Events, caught like twigs in the stream, can be changed if we know where to find them.
Had Dr. Dolittle fathered a prodigious daughter, she might well be behind the bizarre and entertaining personae found on the pages of Lindsay's first-book bestiary...Lindsay's dark-edged, sometimes creepy poems are also imbued with a buoying sense of respect for the different, the unexpected and the challenging.... In work reminiscent of Amy Clampitt and of Albert Goldbarth, Lindsay weaves informed and moving lyric claims around scientific facts, lamenting extinct species or following local rivers. --Publishers Weekly Twigs & Knucklebones is a rare thing in poetry--a very good read....(Sarah Kindsay's) voice...is omniscient yet intimate, super-literate and flawlessly graceful, like a really good lecturer who knows how to entertain an audience while speaking on complex subject matters. --Poetry FoundationWith wonder and bemusement, Lindsay writes supple, sparkling poems about life's perpetual coalescence and breaking down....The heart of this mordant yet profoundly compassionate book is a vivid and involving series about the fictional ancient kingdom of Nab. Here Lindsay sifts through the detritus of a civilization, imagines the inner worlds of people long gone, and the layering of tomb upon tomb, city upon city as bone, clay vessels, and the inscribed tablets are all crushed into splinters and shards. --Booklist"Sarah Lindsay is blessed with the sort of X-ray vision a philosopher would kill for."--The New York Times Book ReviewQuirky, macabre, vivid, and fascinating, Sarah Lindsay's poetry in Twigs and Knucklebones melds science and art with astonishing facts that might just be true: spadefoot toads singing till their throats bleed, an explorer tumbling into an Antarctic crevasse and swinging from his tether like a pendulum.Many of Lindsay's poems occur in extremis, and the situations are often severe and surreal: the futuristic "Valhalla Burn Unit on the Moon Callisto" or a bog person discovered in Eske's Field. These characters often span--in the space of a poem--various times, cultures, and contexts. Lindsay also creates her own fictional kingdom and peoples it with outlandish characters, including jerboas, megalomaniac archaeologists, an adjunct professor, goatherds, farmers, and the god Nummis, who is depicted with a "hawk on his head, fish in one hand, horned ibex at either side."We prod and whisk and deduce what we canfrom marks in clay, from the trace of a wall.But the way the king tossed and caught his adoring daughters, the foolish songs he improvised for his wife, and his furry voice--these have been safely forgotten.Sarah Lindsay is the author of two previous books of poems. Her debut volume was a finalist for the National Book Award. She lives in North Carolina.
