A collection of poems and essays that embrace musicality and locate the patterns of ancient songs in the body, nature, and world events. Alibi, in Latin, meant "elsewhere," and "lullaby"--from lull, to soothe, and bye, near, close by--has elements linguistic elements that appear across cultures. Music, from ancient songs recorded on tables to contemporary compositions, share related framing elements that have persisted across time: formal patterns and rhythms, peaceful and hypnotic movements, and elements of terror arising from the moving frontier of "thrill, dread, certainty." In this collection, Norma Cole considers the ancient and transcendent patterns of music, finding them through nature, heart sounds, the spectral elegance of blood flow, the murmur of melody, and many diverse patterns and beats. Sounds of summer, massacres, "empathy through distress," unknowing, energy, suspense, and fragility echo throughout the poems and other writings. Drawing on a poetics that embraces formal freefall and looks forward while holding up the shifting mirror of memory, Alibi Lullaby is a lyrical montage at the edges of musicality.

INTERNATIONAL THRILLER WRITERS AWARD FINALIST • For readers of Harlan Coben and Robert Crais, Robert McClure’s rollicking crime novel of family and felony takes readers on a relentless thrill ride through the L.A. underworld. Fresh off a nine-year stint in San Quentin, career hitman Babe Crucci plans to finally go straight and enjoy all life has to offer—after he pulls one or two more jobs to shore up his retirement fund. More than anything, Babe is dead set on making up for lost time with his estranged son, Leo, who just so happens to be a rising star in the LAPD. The road to reconciliation starts with tickets to a Dodgers game. But first, Leo needs a little help settling a beef over some gambling debts owed to a local mobster. This kind of thing is child’s play for Babe–until a sudden twist in the negotiations leads to a string of corpses and a titanic power shift in gangland politics. With the sins of his father piling up and dragging him down, Leo throws himself into the investigation of a young prostitute’s murder, a case that makes him some unlikely friends—and some brutally unpredictable enemies. Caught up in a clash of crime lords, weaving past thugs with flamethrowers who expend lives like pocket change, Babe and Leo have one last chance to face the ghosts of their past—if they want to live long enough to see their future. Praise for Deadly Lullaby “Robert McClure is the real deal, an author who produces pulp fiction the way Chandler and Hammett did—with depth and heart.”—Otto Penzler, editor, The Best American Mystery Stories “Too compelling to put down.”—Roger Hobbs, bestselling author of Ghostman “Deadly Lullaby is, at heart, a father-son story, but one in which the father is a ruthless gangster and the son a cynical cop. I loved both of these flawed characters. Robert McClure has written a rousing debut, elevated by pitch-perfect dialogue and a whiplash pace.”—Peter Swanson, author of The Kind Worth Killing “The writing is excellent, and the family relationship offers an interesting angle.”—I Heart Reading
One of America’s great rock and roll pioneers, Richie Furay played alongside Neil Young and Stephen Stills in Buffalo Springfield, producing some of the signature sounds of American folk rock. He went on to form Poco, one of the bands that founded California country rock, and then Souther-Hillman-Furay. After declaring himself a Christian in 1974, Furay released four solo albums before taking up the ministry in 1983. He began recording again in 1997, and over the next twenty-five years he released two Christian and five secular albums. In this biography of Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Richie Furay, Thomas Kitts provides an intimate look at Furay’s life and music. Kitts chronicles the musician’s upbringing, his musical career, and his Christianity, drawing on interviews with Furay and others close to him. In documenting Furay’s extraordinary talent as a songwriter, vocalist, and guitarist, Kitts argues that although he never attained the level of stardom of many of his bandmates, Furay is a pivotal figure in American popular music. Fans of Buffalo Springfield, Poco, and country-rock music will enjoy this quintessentially American story of a young man on a quest to fulfill his rock-and-roll dreams.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR Born, raised, and educated on the island of Formosa, which means “beautiful” in Portuguese, E. C. Lin came to America legally in his twenties to seek freedom and adventure. He diligently studied English as his fourth language, after the Formosan, the Chinese, and the Japanese. He also worked hard on his chemistry and got a good job at the Chicago lab of a giant chemical company named Sun where he was treated fairly and nicely. Lin loves American music. After getting tired of doing cover songs, he taught himself guitar playing and song writing. And he has begun to compose his own music. After a while, he has developed quite a repertoire. In two different years, Lin entered two original tunes each in the Billboard Magazine’s prestigious song contest, to which songwriters the world over, submitted their best work. After several rounds of tough elimination, all four songs had reached the finalist level. Although none of them was placed in the top three spots, Lin is elated to know that he is competing with world-class songwriters. And for his efforts, Lin has been awarded with a certificate of achievement for each tune. Another year, Lin was a winner in the Chicago-Sun Times’s writing contest that was to promote an epic musical, honoring Elvis Presley. All five award-winning songs are included in this publication for readers to enjoy. Lin urges readers not to think of other tunes that he didn’t enter into contests that usually require an entry fee. (Entry fee in the Chicago Sun-Times’s contest was free). Lin used to showcase his work in the Chicago area’s night clubs—often backed up by John Rice’s hot bond. Some of Lin’s signature songs had become hits. Lin loves dogs, cats, movies, gardening, swimming, dancing, and traveling that help him active and young. In the summer of 2016, he made a bold move to Las Vegas where he enjoys three free concerts on Fremont Street nightly and tries not to be robbed by no-arm bandits. That’s another story.
