Poetry. In this, his second collection of poetry, Adam Hughes continues to weave a tapestry of language. In these poems are found words that illuminate, words that cheer and fulfill, words that inspire longing, words that commemorate, and words that revel in the glory of uncertainty. In his pursuit of the holy, Hughes utters words both profound and common, romantic and rational, hopeful and hopeless. Through it all the voice of the Other whispers and all of creation sings through children, grasshoppers, men on fire, escaped hijackers, and a host of other voices all uttering the holy."Adam Hughes's poems take place in a world on fire where the shadows creep east and mercy is found in a lion's mouth. These poems listen attentively to the world, to a child's breath in a baby monitor, to the wind, to God's slow exhale. Nothing escapes Hughes's gaze. He populates his work with remoras, moths, flying foxes, five-legged grasshoppers, and wasps dying on garage floors. There's never enough time to decipher 'the unwritten words on the wall, ' but these poems keep singing to a God that gave us all the grace He could spare."--Traci Brimhall

After serving a hard 15 years in prison on a murder plea, former Atlanta P.D. detective Samantha Vega is now making her living as the bouncer at an exotic dance club. But when a dancer is found dead and her daughter missing, the cops write it off as just another drug user who overdosed and a runaway kid. With her former colleagues on the force more concerned with giving her a hard time than doing their job, Vega must decide if she's willing to risk her freedom in order to help the people with nowhere else to turn.

Charles Dickens' London is reimagined for the 21st century. Twenty-four hours in the life of a city that has 371 people in every square kilometer, where every street and square shelters heroes and villains, emotional turmoil, violent allegiances, adventures, the remarkable and the everyday. Olivier Award-winning playwright James Graham forges a uniquely crowd-sourced play, incorporating scenes by emerging writers into his own sweeping narrative. Dickens' panoply of London and Londoners, his big characters and fantastic stories in Sketches by Boz are updated for the modern age, incorporating the broadest range of voices from across the community in a theatrical whirligig of wonder and imagination.
