Download or read book Mercies in the American Desert written by Benjamin Landry and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2021-03-10 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflecting on the Salem witch trials, Puritan minister Cotton Mather cautioned his flock against the moral temptations of the unknown wild, located in what he termed an “American desert.” Today, more than three hundred years later, we understand that our troubles have their origins not in some ambiguous beyond; rather, they are of our own making. Benjamin Landry’s Mercies in the American Desert attempts a clear-eyed reckoning with the people and the nation we have become: a land assailed by gun violence, police brutality, and state-sanctioned racism. This vivid collection considers a range of bodies encompassing the geographic, the personal, and the political. It locates solace in movement, sound, and observation, as when Pina Bausch heron-dances down a traffic median or when the expansive form of a surfacing manta ray teaches us how to breathe again. Incorporating short bursts of prose poem alongside longer meditations, and working in both alliterative and narrative modes, Mercies in the American Desert conjures a redemptive wilderness for our time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laura and Dan Courser are a less than perfect, but deeply passionate couple with two young children and lots of plans. Until Dan, displaying the boyish bravado that made Laura fall in love with him, takes the tiller of a boat he can't handle and causes the accident that shatters their lives. Suddenly there are no more ordinary days or nights. And, in a story filled with astonishing revelations, we witness two people wrestling with a marriage in which all the rules are changed, confronting the guilt and anger, devotion and desire that don't merely survive...but can help heal the wounded heart. Rosellen Brown creates a compelling portrayal of a family torn apart--and perhaps put back together again--by love.

Excerpt: ... that dear old home, yet this was the lamentable case, for the gentle spirit of a faithful loving wife and devoted mother had taken its flight, never, never to return. As soon as the family had regained sufficient composure, I was informed of the heart rending reality. Reader, have you ever experienced the untold misery of receiving a message draped in mourning? If you have, I need not solicit your sympathy, and if you have not I pray God 'you may never realize it as I have. Here let the curtain drop, the subject is too painful to dwell upon longer. chapter V. jt was Sabbath night of this same month; all nature had sunk to rest; not a sound save that of the coyote, which howled in the distance, when lo! the terrible cry, fire! Fiee! rang out upon the stillness of the air. We had retired, perhaps an hour since, and the family, all except myself, were wrapped in the arms of Morpheus. I had allowed my mind to wander back to the happy days of the past until sleep forsook my moistened eyelids; but the cry of fire brought me instantly from my bed. I was followed by my frightened and bewildered husband, who rushed into the street half dressed. By this time I could discern the flames ascending from a hotel, only two doors from my cottage; every man and several ladies were soon on foot, and worked with energy until the flames were extinguished. The house, of which I speak, seems to have been dissatisfied with its location and disgusted with its surroundings, for, after four fruitless attempts to commit suicide, it succeeded in completing its design in 1879, and to-day a magnificent building is being erected on the ruins thereof. Ah, those were the days which tried the souls of the pioneers of Greeley. It was during the spring of '71, the month I...
