Download or read book The Provincetown Plays Classic Reprint written by George Cram Cook and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Provincetown Plays In the plays contained in this volume, and in others not published or published in previous col lections, there are touches that, to those Of us who can supply from our memories, reveal the spirit Of the Players. This is the best that art can do. To all art we must bring something not contained in it, to see it as art. We must see the unattained youthful effort. If there is a glimpse of that, it is all we can hope for in an unrealized world. These ten are not the best plays ever written; but they are written in a pure spirit; they sprang from an attempt made by a group Of men and women to express something Sincerely, with no regard for fame, money, or power - and what ever they have Of value is due to that. If the Provincetown Players had not been formed, in unusual degree, with the purity of youth and ehrt, so many of them would not, in all likelihood, in this brief time have died. It was not an accident. They gave themselves un reservedly to life, and it was eternity, rather than death, that took them. Among those, of the Players who remain there are some who remain unwillingly. Whom the gods love die young, and if some Of those who remain are loved Of the gods, it is because they are already living beyond in Spirit, and are held here for the purpose of fulfilling some mundane obligation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pilgrim Land: From Plymouth to Provincetown in Pastel Born of the sea, and the spume of its wash; bred to the wind, and the wild bird's cry; its secret is murmur of wave to pine; its song is the song of the warm blue sky! When the glaciers went over, and the clay with the rocks went under; storms leaped the ridges, and cut the contours; and life began with the heaped up sand! Between the bay and the ocean, burning winds, for ages, have signed the sun's signature upon marsh and bog, scrubland and forest! The shore birds nest the grasses, Peewits and sandpipers Flit the salt edges; Bittern and shelldrake Follow the creeks To the ponds and plashes! A land of homing; the homing of sea winds and wild wings! The homing of color and music, of bird song and sunshine and sunsets! The homing of star faith, of moon myths and legends; The homing of happiness; human illusions and memories! A voice sings to the morning its far off paean of conquest, And chants to the evening its solemn cadence of rest!

Clarisse Lovelace is his straight pal who works in real estate. They make an unconventional investigative duo—but sometimes unconventional is exactly what’s called for. Summer in P’town is definitely earning its reputation as Sodom-by-the Sea. Daniel scored a job tending bar for the season and Clarisse is here too, looking fabulous and searching for trouble. Only she finds the wrong kind when a dead body turns up on a beach. No one knew Jeff that well, but his arresting cobalt eyes certainly caught people’s attention. They made him some friends—and quite a few enemies. Which of these killed him? “In many ways it’s not all that different from Miss Marple snooping about St. Mary Mead, only here drag queens replace governesses and coke dealers replace vicars.” —Gay Community News

Download or read book Cape Cod Classic Reprint written by Henry David Thoreau and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cape Cod During the last thirty years, many of the more remote and isolated sections of New England have become popular with summer tourists and cottagers. Cape Cod has shared in this invasion from visitors and yet has maintained, to a large extent, its natural out lines of landscape and many of its primitive customs. Groups of cottages have been built along the coast where formerly was only a sandy beach without any Sign of human life. The hamlets and villages of fifty years ago Truro, Chatham, Provincetown, Yar mouth - are now active towns, reaping commercial benefits from tourists. In spite of such changes, the aspects of nature and the traits of the native inhabit ants are still akin to those described by Thoreau, half a century ago, in his graphic narrative, Cape Cod. In a characteristic style, direct and vivid, he stated at the beginning the purpose of his excursions and the routes that were followed: Wishing to get a better view than I had yet had of the ocean, which, we are told, covers more than two - thirds of the globe, but of which a man who lives a few miles inland may never see any trace, more than of another world, I made a visit to Cape Cod in October, 1849, another the succeeding June, and another to Truro in July, 18 5 5; the first and last time with a single companion.

Book excerpt: "Academic studies are often pedantic and dense. This is not the case with this study...Krahulik combines traditional research methods and oral histories to record and interpret this journey in a respectful, scholarly manner." --Choice, Highly Recommended"A fascinating study of a fascinating town; a charming piece of social history that is as readable as it is scholarly." --TWNInsider"At the end of curling Cape Cod, Provincetown has gone through several transformations since the Pilgrims landed there--from Yankee whaling town to Portuguese fishing village to bohemian artist enclave to, today, one of the world's most popular gay resorts. Surprisingly, each of those segments of society contributed to the 'P-town' of today." --Chicago Sun-TimesKaren Krahuliks Provincetown is the definitive book on the history of that mysterious and magical place. Its a singular accomplishment. Im grateful to her for writing it, as I suspect many others will be for years and years to come. --Michael Cunningham, author of The Hours"From Pilgrim's Landing to gay Disneyland, Provincetown has remade itself again and again. Karen Krahulik's remarkable book deftly charts these transformations. She manages to weave New England Yankees, Portuguese fisherman, bohemian artists, and lesbian entrepreneurs into a single history that is both absorbing and revelatory. In her hands, class, race, gender, and sexuality stop being categories or slogans and instead are the stuff of a community's story. This is social history at its most original and very best." --John D'Emilio, author of Sexual Politics, Sexual CommunitiesKrahulik tells a rich and compelling story of a unique community shaped by immigration, global economicforces, ethnic tensions, commercialism, and the struggles of indiv

Karen Dukess has rendered a wonderful world to spend time in.” —Taylor Jenkins Reid, New York Times bestselling author of Daisy Jones & The Six A propulsive tale of ambition and romance, set in the publishing world of 1980’s New York and the timeless beaches of Cape Cod. In the summer of 1987, 25-year-old Eve Rosen is an aspiring writer languishing in a low-level assistant job, unable to shake the shadow of growing up with her brilliant brother. With her professional ambitions floundering, Eve jumps at the chance to attend an early summer gathering at the Cape Cod home of famed New Yorker writer Henry Grey and his poet wife, Tillie. Dazzled by the guests and her burgeoning crush on the hosts’ artistic son, Eve lands a new job as Henry Grey’s research assistant and an invitation to Henry and Tillie’s exclusive and famed "Book Party"— where attendees dress as literary characters. But by the night of the party, Eve discovers uncomfortable truths about her summer entanglements and understands that the literary world she so desperately wanted to be a part of is not at all what it seems. A page-turning, coming-of-age story, written with a lyrical sense of place and a profound appreciation for the sustaining power of books, Karen Dukess's The Last Book Party shows what happens when youth and experience collide and what it takes to find your own voice.
