Book excerpt: 'The Entrance to Porlock' is the story of a journey, a quest, on the part of Peter Ringkoping, an octogenarian who lives on a small New England mountain where he has converted an old horse barn into a second-hand book store. On his journey he is accompanied by his two middle-aged sons, Tommy, a compulsive comedian, and Nels, dean and disciplinarian at a boys' boarding school. With them is Tommy's nineteen-year-old son, Tip. Peter Ringkoping, who sees ghosts and has moved ghost-like himself through his own life, has reached the point where he wants to put his affairs in order. Over the years he has accumulated a sizable tract of land on Tinmouth Mountain, and he conceives the idea of deeding it over to Hans Strasser, a kind of holy man-magician who runs a community for [mentally challenged] adults. It is to this community that the Ringkopings make their erratic way, each of them trying to come to terms somehow with himself and with the others. Nels is haunted by the fear of death, Tommy by the inanity of his life, and Tip by his search for an identity. In his own vague, half-heartless way, old Peter both haunts and is haunted by them all. When they reach their destination, they are surprised there by Tommy's wife and her nearly blind mother-in-law, and it is the encounter of all these people with the distorted yet oddly compelling world of Hans Strasser and his charges that provides the resolution of this very moving novel....Perhaps more than anything else it is the tale of the overlapping of illusion and reality, and of the terrible price of being human.

Download or read book On Poetry written by Glyn Maxwell and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This is a book for anyone,” Glyn Maxwell declares of On Poetry. A guide to the writing of poetry and a defense of the art, it will be especially prized by writers and readers who wish to understand why and how poetic technique matters. When Maxwell states, “With rhyme what matters is the distance between rhymes” or “the line-break is punctuation,” he compresses into simple, memorable phrases a great deal of practical wisdom. In seven chapters whose weird, gnomic titles announce the singularity of the book—“White,” “Black,” “Form,” “Pulse,” “Chime,” “Space,” and “Time”—the poet explores his belief that the greatest verse arises from a harmony of mind and body, and that poetic forms originate in human necessities: breath, heartbeat, footstep, posture. “The sound of form in poetry descended from song, molded by breath, is the sound of that creature yearning to leave a mark. The meter says tick-tock. The rhyme says remember. The whiteness says alone,” Maxwell writes. To illustrate his argument, he draws upon personal touchstones such as Emily Dickinson and Robert Frost. An experienced teacher, Maxwell also takes us inside the world of the creative writing class, where we learn from the experiences of four aspiring poets. “You master form you master time,” Maxwell says. In this guide to the most ancient and sublime of the realms of literature, Maxwell shares his mastery with us.

After a thrilling jaunt in the far east, Holmes and Watson return to England to address an inheritance left by one of Watson’s relatives in Cornwall, half of which he gave to his dear friend, Sherlock Holmes. Financially secure, the two are now free to spend as much time on Baker Street and the Continent as they please, and the duo find themselves as comfortable in Rome on the banks of the Tiber as the Thames. As Holmes rationalizes and ratiocinates his way through case after case, from “The Case of Two Bohemes” to “A Singular Event in Tranquebar,” it’s all in a day’s work, until clues surface that his great nemesis, Professor James Moriarty, might still be alive . . .
