It's wedding season on Nantucket, and two unwelcome guests are
crashing the party... When people begin disappearing from the
island, Nantucket Police Chief Henry Kennis is baffled. The victims
are not random-they're all Nantucket High School alumni. And the
only clues left behind are pennies dropped at the sites of the
kidnappings. There's an old island tradition of tossing a penny
from the ferry as you depart to ensure your eventual return... Has
someone come back to the island with a sinister grudge to settle?
Sippy Bascomb and Doug Fraker were childhood best friends-bonded as
fellow victims of bullying at the hands of their classmates. The
two men hadn't seen each other in years, but when Sippy comes
across Doug's blog airing grievances from the past, the two
reconnect and hatch a plan to return to the island. Both seek
revenge, but Doug wants their tormentors to face a tribunal and
appoints himself judge, jury, and executioner... When Henry's
fiancee joins the missing, he enlists the aid of former
intelligence agent Mitch Stone, a native who has returned to the
island hoping for a peaceful retirement. The two men know they must
find where their friends are being put on trial for their childhood
crimes-before their deadly sentences can be carried out.
Robert Lowell is one of the most widely recognised and influential
poets of the second half of this century. Yet his career is
problematical and raises many questions about direction and
quality, particularly in light of his repeated reorientation of
thematic concern and poetic technique. Many previous studies of the
poet have accounted for these radical differences in Lowell's work
by examining the poet's private life, but this collection of essays
attempts to reassess Lowell's poetry and to restimulate critical
thinking about it by focusing on his texts to raise new questions
and discussions about the work. The twelve essays in this volume,
by many of the most distinguished scholars in the field, offer a
chronological review of Robert Lowell's career as a poet. The book
includes pieces on major works such as Lord Weary's Castle, Life
Studies, For the Union Dead, 'Skunk Hour', Notebook, the sonnets of
1969-73 as well as four essays devoted to Lowell's last complete
and often neglected work, Day by Day. Employing a variety of
methodologies, the essays arrive at innovative and, often,
controversial interpretations of Lowell's poems.
