Boy with thorn / by Laurentiis, Rickey,author.(CARDINAL)619631;
Cave Canem Poetry Prize, 2014In a landscape at once the brutal American South as it is the brutal mind, Boy with Thorn interrogates the genesis of all poetic creation--the imagination itself, questioning what role it plays in both our fascinations with and repulsion from a national history of racial and sexual violence. The personal and political crash into one language here, gothic as it is supple, meditating on visual art and myth, to desire, the practice of lynching and Hurricane Katrina. Always at its center, though, is the poet himself--confessing a double song of pleasure and inevitable pain.

Harry Dean Stanton : Hollywood's Zen rebel / by Atkins, Joseph B.,author.(CARDINAL)845491;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 207-238) and index."Character actors are the working stiffs of both the big and small screen, the toiling thespians who always find work if not a big salary. "Not gorgeous enough to be stars," wrote Melissa Holbrook Pierson and Luc Sante in their 1998 book O.K. You Mugs: Writers on Movie Actors. "Their noses have been broken one too many times. . . . In short, they are real." Like most character actors, Kentucky's own Harry Dean Stanton languished in anonymity, a familiar face in film and television but one whose name audiences seldom knew. A self-proclaimed loner, Stanton consistently took on these supporting roles, making silence and stillness his most powerful means of onscreen communication In Harry Dean Stanton, author Joseph B. Atkins unwinds the mystery man persona and explores both his life and work. In doing so, Atkins examines Stanton's early life in Irvine, Kentucky, his difficult relationship with his Baptist parents, his service in the Navy, and the events that inspired him to become an actor. When he returnedfrom the Navy, Stanton enrolled at the University of Kentucky where he immersed himself in the art of acting. So heavily influenced by one of his teachers, Stanton decided to drop out of school in 1949 and move to California, where would begin to hone hiscraft at the renowned Pasadena Playhouse. After studying Shakespeare and stage productions, Stanton was able to break into television productions such as Zane Grey Theater (1956), The Lawless Years (1959), and Gunsmoke (1955). Stanton's success did not depend on claiming main roles. His work as a supporting actor helped him bring back the "lost art" of character acting. In one of his early breakout roles, Stanton played a guitar-pick tramp opposite Paul Newman in Cool Hand Luke (1967). Later, he continued to make a name for himself through the "New Hollywood" years in increasingly significant supportive roles. However, it was not until the 1980s that he found himself in prominent roles in films including Paris, Texas (1984) and Repo Man (1984). Throughout his accomplished and beloved career, he also forged close and lasting relationships with some of Hollywood's biggest names, including Jack Nicholson, David Lynch, and Kris Kristofferson"--

Wine reads : a literary anthology of wine writing / by McInerney, Jay,editor.(CARDINAL)729024;
In this anthology, bestselling novelist and acclaimed wine-writer Jay McInerney gathers twenty-seven pieces of literary distinction and historical sweep about the making, selling, and, of course, drinking of fine wine. Including excerpts from novels, short fiction, memoir, and narrative nonfiction, Wine Reads features big names in the trade and literary heavyweights alike. We follow Kermit Lynch to the Northern Rh©þne in a chapter from his classic Adventures on the Wine Route. In an excerpt from Between Meals, long-time New Yorker writer A. J. Liebling raises feeding and imbibing on a budget in Paris into something of an art form--and discovers a very good ros©♭ from just west of the Rhone. Michael Dibdin's fictional Venetian detective Aurelio Zen gets a lesson in Barolo, Barbaresco, and Brunello vintages from an eccentric celebrity. And in an essay from her collection Musings on Wine, celebrated food writer MFK Fisher shares four simple rules for wine enjoyment, and meditates on how choosing the appropriate glass can reveal a wine's true character. Also showcasing an iconic scene from Rex Pickett's Sideways and work by Jancis Robinson, Jim Harrison, Roald Dahl, and McInerney himself, this is an essential volume for any disciple of Bacchus.

Negro : an anthology / by Cunard, Nancy,1896-1965.(CARDINAL)125129; Ford, Hugh D.,1925-(CARDINAL)126648;
America -- Negro stars -- Music -- Poetry -- West Indies and South America -- Europe -- Africa -- Negro sculpture and ethnology.An ambitious anthology covering practically every aspect of Black life: history, literature, education, law, racial injustice, theater, art, and music. It examines not only Black life in the United States, but also in the West Indies, South America, Europe, and Africa. Nancy Cunard, a white intellectual, compiled and edited the anthology in 1934, hoping to prove "that there was no superior race, merely cultural differences, that racism has no basis whatsoever." The result is a book that exposes the persecution of Blacks through reportage on chain gangs, lynchings, and the Scottsboro boys case, proving the equality of Blacks through essays on their intellectual and artistic accomplishments. (Adapted from the New York Times: "When hatred was turning to pity" by Julius Lester, August 30, 1970).
