Utter despair / by Payne, T.L.author.;
"Nearly a week after a catastrophic solar storm crippled the grid, Carson and his family are battered, exhausted-and still far from anything resembling safety. Carson presses forward, eyes fixed on Dallas, where he knows greater threats await. The journey ahead is dangerous, but what waits at the end may be even worse. Meanwhile, Willow believes she's finally found a place to rest-but her relief is short-lived as she's pulled into a nightmare darker than anything she's faced before. In Dallas, Arthur's battle for survival reaches a critical tipping point, forcing him to make impossible choices. And in Arkansas, Bee is no longer standing her ground-she's on the run, with danger closing in from every direction. As the country fractures and chaos reigns, the Carlise family will be pushed to their limits. And not all of them will make it through what comes next. Utter Despair is the third book in the fast-paced, high-octane, post-apocalyptic Black Sky Event series." -- from Amazon.

Help! -- The weakness meaning time -- Bone by bone -- Ifs eternally -- I sang pain -- A mammal's notebook -- I don't believe in the soul -- What the Western mystic -- My Christ -- Woman, with tomato -- The eft -- The cancer chair -- No omen but awe -- Zero."Few contemporary writers ask the questions about faith, morality, and God that Christian Wiman does, and even fewer--perhaps none--do so with his urgency and eloquence. Wiman, an award-winning poet and the author of My Bright Abyss, lays the motion of his mind on the page in this genre-defying work, an indivisible blend of poetry, criticism, theology, and searing memoir. As Marilynne Robinson wrote, "[Wiman's] poetry and his scholarship have a purifying urgency that is rare in this world . . . It enables him to say new things in timeless language, so that the reader's surprise and assent are one and the same." Zero at the Bone begins with Wiman's preoccupation with despair, and through fifty brief pieces, he unravels its seductive appeal. The book is studded with the poetry and prose of writers who inhabit Wiman's thoughts, and the voices of Wallace Stevens, Lucille Clifton, Emily Dickinson, and others join his own. At its heart and Wiman's, however, are his family--his young children (who ask their own invaluable questions, like "Why are you a poet? I mean why?"), his wife, and those he grew up with in West Texas. Wiman is the rare thinker who takes up the mantle of our greatest mystics and does so with an honest, profound, and contemporary sensibility. Zero at the Bone is a revelation."--
