After his success with his first demand, Phillip is now heading south to the Canyon District in hopes of completing his second. The Crown of Cenus was thrown into the canyon decades ago and despite extensive searching, has never been found. If legend is true, the crown was found by a cave troll who took the treasure and fled into the fog. In the deepest recesses of the canyon the fog is said to be the home to a great evil. It is said the only thing that escapes the fog are the stories and legends of the fools who enter it.Before he can even travel to the dark depths of the canyon, Phillip must first deal with the Bracken. The five demons relentlessly pursue Phillip, hoping to acquire the map of the devil's swamp. In order to protect not only himself, but his family and new companions, Phillip must do battle with the demons. Only with a complete victory will they be safe, and only then will Phillip be able to move forward.On his journey Phillip will encounter a witches haven, enlist new allies, and heal some old wounds. He will also make new enemies as his success has drawn the attention of many who would rather see him fail.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paterson Award for Literary Excellence. Milt Kessler Poetry Book Award, finalist. "Dawes's verse has an expressive power and lyric resonance that can be attributed to a trans-Atlantic consciousness weaned on the spiritual sources of reggae."--New York Times Book Review "Raised in Jamaica, Dawes takes some of his cues, and this book's title, from reggae music. But his voice in these long and short poems and sequences selected from each of his many books, which began appearing in the mid-1990s, is crystal clear, accessible and serious, mixing a timeless myth-making energy with a strong contemporary conscience..." --National Public Radio "This first U.S. selection from the Jamaica-bred, Nebraska-based poet (he also has a reputation in Britain) is his 16th book of verse in just 20 years; it reveals a writer syncretic, effusive, affectionate, alert to familial joys, but also sensitive to history, above all to the struggles of African diasporic history--the Middle Passage, sharecropper-era South Carolina, the Kingston of Bob Marley, whose song gives this big book its title. Dawes is at home with cityscape and seascape, patois and transatlantic tradition." --Publishers Weekly " Dawes] is highly original and intelligent, possessing poetic sensibility that is rooted and sound, unshakeable and unstopped, both in its vibrancy and direction. He writes poetry as it ought to be written."--World Literature Today "Dawes asserts himself as man and artist and finally, with grace achieved and grace said, sits down to begin life's tragic feast . . . a writer of major significance."--Brag Book "The notion of a reggae aesthetic--of the language moving to a different rhythm, under different kinds of pressure . . . underpins all Dawes' work as poet."--Stewart Brown Born in Ghana, raised in Jamaica, and educated in Canada, Kwame Dawes is a dynamic and electrifying poet. In this generous collection, new poems appear with the best work from fifteen previous volumes. Deeply nuanced in exploring the human condition, Dawes' poems are filled with complex emotion and consistently remind us what it means to be a global citizen. From "The Lessons": Fingers can be trained to make shapes that, pressed just right on the gleaming keys, will make a sound that can stay tears or cause them to flow for days. Anyone can learn to make some music, but not all have the heart to beat out the tunes that will turn us inside out. . . Kwame Dawes is the author of fifteen collections of poetry, two novels, four anthologies, and numerous essays and plays. In 2009 he won an Emmy Award for his interactive website, LiveHopeLove.com. Since 2011 he has taught at the University of Nebraska, and lives in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Book excerpt: The outpost is the most remote and isolated in the kingdom, secluded and unreachable for much of the year. Battered by unforgiving winter storms and the devil’s wind, the outpost is home to a most unusual and unique group. These men and women, shunned embarrassments, outcasts and criminals, desire only to go unnoticed in the frozen wasteland. In a land ruled by snow bears, wolves and the bitter winter, life can be harsh, and often quite short. Each winter the vicious winds drive ships to their doom along the rocky northern shores. These wrecks rarely leave survivors and only occasional scraps for the scavengers and looters. A new wreck not only brings a survivor, but a new threat. Anouk, a mysterious young lady, travels with enchanted documents that could spell doom for the entire kingdom. Anouk reveals the Artifacts of Condir, long thought to be nothing but myth, are in fact real. The documents she carries tell the location of the artifacts. If the three artifacts are ever brought together it will bring about a catastrophic event that will bring down the king and destroy much of the kingdom. Now the outcasts and misfits must band together to save the king and perhaps the kingdom in a fight none wanted, or expected. With the power to turn back time and a band of undead barbarians, the Warlock pursuing the documents presents a very formidable opponent. To defeat him will require stealth, teamwork and sacrifice. All will not survive, in the battle to possess, the Artifacts of Condir.
