"What does it take to become a charismatic spiritual leader, one who has people questioning and empowering their own faith? Is it possible in our media soaked society to grab the attention of millions of people simply by speaking your mind and sharing your faith, ultimately proving the power of positive thinking? In...the complicated and timely play THE POWER OF DUFF by Stephen Belber, TV anchor Charlie Duff begins to sign-off each Rochester news broadcast with a prayer from his heart about a situation in his own life. His co-workers react negatively, but when a growing crowd of believers becomes glued to their TV sets wondering when their prayers will be answered, the jump in ratings quickly changes the minds of his co-anchors Sue Raspell, sports co-anchor John Ebbs, and sufficiently slimy station boss Scott Zoellner. The play is ultimately about a person who is fundamentally ambivalent about religion, even about spirituality-who undergoes an emotional transformation, which in turn leads him to a position of being a suddenly looked-to spiritual leader even as his ambivalence continues. But what his on-air prayers do-and don't do-to those closest to Duff tests the news anchor's own beliefs. Can he inspire others to help each other when he has trouble doing just that in his own life? Stephen Belber's sharp new play asks if there is anything more vital than the faith we have in ourselves and one another.... Playwright Stephen Belber 's]... ability to look inside the hearts and souls of his characters always shines through even the most difficult situations. You will walk out questioning your own life and how you can change it for the betterment of yourself as well as all around you."Shari Barrett, broadwayworld.com
George Smith (1833–1919) spent many years in India as an educator and editor of the Calcutta Review. He was a great supporter of missionary work and became secretary of the foreign mission committee of the Free Church of Scotland in 1870. He also wrote popular books of missionary biography including this two-volume Life of Alexander Duff (1879). Duff (1806–1878) was the first foreign missionary of the Church of Scotland and a leading figure in promoting Christian education in India. Duff pioneered what he called 'downward filter theory' which centred on educating India's upper caste through English in the hope that this elite group would then take responsibility for the evangelisation and modernisation of South Asia. Volume 1 describes Duff's life until 1843, covering his education in Scotland, his arrival in Calcutta and the founding of his school, the General Assembly Institution.

The Golden Shovel, a poetic form invented by Terrence Hayes, has a direct connection to the poet's subconscious. The speaker of these poems has a lifelong quarrel with society's inequalities but finds solace and renewal by spending time in gardens and on Pacific Northwest forest trails. She admires insects, birds, and plants, and is particularly fond of lichens, fungi, and mosses. Duff, the decaying detritus on the forest floor, delivers nutrients to the trees and nurtures an array of colorful mushrooms and other fungi. Sheila Sondik sees this metaphorically as the work of memory and creativity. She revisits her own along with her daughters' childhoods as she walks. The quoted lines of poetry embedded in the right margin of each poem are quotes from the poets Sheila read and reread throughout her 20s. In Lighting Up the Duff, she revisits them from the vantage point of her 70s. This book is, in large part, an homage to those poets who helped launch her on this path.-------Sheila Sondik's Lighting Up the Duff indeed illuminates the path of a life-strewn at the poet's feet, and at our own, the wonders, ironies, and sorrows that befall us. These poems, more magic windows than weighty shovels, offer encouragement, solace, humor, and intimate company as we listen to the voice of a friend who knows us. There's further enchantment in the resonances between Sondik's poems and those of the master poets she honors with these. I've spent grateful hours in this collection's shimmering grove, and I'll walk there again.-Jed Myers, author of Learning to HoldThe 26 short poems in Sheila Sondik's Lighting Up the Duff are exquisitely crafted homages to her poetic influences, including Linda Pastan, Maxine Kumin, Kenneth Rexroth, and Terrance Hayes, whose invented form, the Golden Shovel, rules. Although they do not ignore the despair endemic to our times-naysayers, ecological disaster, all doom and zoom-the poems sway like an artist between landscape's dark shapes and the hours of light, steadily urging us toward hope. Attending to these poems, like tending green plants, is food for our souls.-Bethany Reid, author of The Pear Tree: elegy for a farm
