A Safe Place: The True Story of a Father, a Son, a Murder
by Lorenzo CarcaterraFrom the book: I was fourteen, walking on a beach in Ischia, a Mediterranean island forty miles off the coast of Naples, when I found out about my father. A white cotton towel hung around my neck, the morning sun warmed my back and soft waves rolled against a pea-green fishing boat. A cluster of children were building sand castles by the shore while three German tourists nodded in approval. It was mid-July 1969, my first summer away from home and the most peaceful time in my life. My mother, slumped and weary, stood at my side, staring out to sea. She hardly noticed the Moroccan merchant who was offering good buys on cheap goods or the beach bum selling cool slices of fresh coconut. She reached for my hand, her brown eyes softened by the passing years. "It's time you knew the truth," she said. "About your father." ...

A Scrap in the Blessings Jar: New and Selected Poems (Southern Messenger Poets)
by David BottomsA Scrap in the Blessings Jar, a volume of new and selected poems by David Bottoms, captures the evolution of the poet’s spiritual quest over the past fifty years. A native and longtime resident of Georgia, Bottoms draws inspiration from the American South, and his work examines themes related to family dynamics, the woods, animals, fishing, and music in an effort to, as he once told an interviewer, “reveal something about the hidden things of the world, the vague or shadowy relationships and connections that exist just below the surface of our daily lives.” This book charts his progression from tightly wrought naturalistic narratives to works that reflect his shifting conception of the interplay between memory, the present, and the metaphysical. At heart, Bottoms remains a storyteller who employs figurative language to discover the extraordinary in the seemingly mundane, and whose poetry explores the depths of our existential condition and common humanity.
