The Diary of a Gunfighter

The Diary of a Gunfighter
By Eddie L. Barnes

Published: 11/4/2011
Format: Dust Jacket Hardcover(B/W)
Pages: 360
Size: 6x9
ISBN: 978-1-45029-478-2
Print Type: B/W

Overview:

In a country ravaged by the horrors of a brutal civil war, there were countless families torn apart by conflict and violence. This is the story of one ordinary man driven by loss to extraordinary acts and circumstances.

Simon James Sublette lost his entire family during the Civil War. He dreams of coming home and settling into a quiet, peaceful life on his family farm—until those dreams are shattered by a stray bullet. Forever scarred, inside and out, he abandons all he knows and loves. He sets out on a lonely journey, wandering the West in a desperate quest for peace and order. But with each passing day, serenity still eludes him and his heart grows ever heavier. Torn by grief and fighting off hopelessness, he finds beauty in a more poetic way of life. He develops the unusual trait of speaking in rhyme, especially when provoked.

This trait earns him the name “The Rhymer,” and he becomes a fearless gunfighter who has no equal when it comes to killing. The Rhymer is a hero for women and children everywhere—and a nightmare straight from hell for those evil men in need of killing.

Blue Period in Seattle

Blue Period in Seattle
Selected Poems ( 1991 - 2011 )
By John W. Gorski

Published: 10/3/2011
Format: E-Book (available as PDF, ePub, and Mobi files)
Pages: 92
ISBN: 978-1-46205-417-6
Print Type: B/W

Overview:

John Gorski’s Blue Period in Seattle traffics in a play of atmosphere, both meteorological and psychological. These atmospheres evoke a kind of emotional synesthesia: “I get off the bus/ at 64th and Linden/ because the dark organ chords of alcohol laughter/ are playing out of tune.” Blue Period in Seattle dares us to partake of a fretted, penumbral world, haunted by muses who are alternately flushed from “the rose pink immanence /of the morning horizon” and morbidly pale: “her pre-Raphaelite face—a lunar masque /advancing out of the night.” It is not surprising that Gorski is drawn to the lives of the artists, and to their “progenitor” muses. These artists record their findings and, in the process, see what others tend to overlook. Fascinated by artists in their old age and even decrepitude, Gorski seems to be asking himself what the upshot of such a vocation, finally, turns out to be—what, in short, are the wages of art? Yet in other poems, such as the “The Five-Year-Old Sheriff,” Gorski’s droll side reigns, as the mood strikes. All in all, Blue Period in Seattle represents a particularly fertile moment in Gorski’s oeuvre. For those as yet unfamiliar with his work, it’s a great place to start.

Let Me Tell You

Let me tell you how good Jesus has been to me.

He picked me up out of the lost and found.

He healed me when I was sick and down.

He turned my life clean around

He blessed me in the nick of time and restored my life with peace of mind.

Let me tell you how good Jesus has been to me.

He made a way out of no way, and He continues to bless me each day.

If you try Him for yourself, you will see.

He will make a believer out of you as He has me.
