Liar, Liar, Head on Fire

On the outside, twelve-year-old Hector seems like he's got it all. He's strong, fast, and rumored to be the favorite to win this year's Zeus Cup at the Mt. Olympus Spartan Race, the highest honor in his small Midwestern town. Hector's parents and his five siblings trained to win gold in their twelfth year, but all fell short. Now, Hector is their last chance to bring glory to the family and he's starting to feel the pressure. After a mysterious (and extremely talented) girl named Mae obliterates him at the practice run, Hector is desperate to do whatever it takes to win and make his family proud. Cue a certain god of the Underworld who has a mighty proposition for Hector: Hades will give him godlike strength and speed in exchange for the trophy at the end of the race. Seems like a pretty good trade-off. But as Hector soon discovers, no deal with Hades is as straightforward as it seems and he's going to have to go the distance or risk going from hero to zero. Grab your nightlight,...

В феодальном замке

Иначе смотрит на замковые стены феодал. Он счи- тает себя господином и повелителем. По понятиям ры- царя, крестьянин существует лишь для работы и выпол- нения всех прихотей благородного хозяина. Узенькая тропинка, на которой с трудом могут разъ- ехаться двое, ведет к воротам замка. Она причудливо вьется среди камней, по краю обрыва, где внизу стре- мительно несется река. Трудно добраться по такой до- роге до стен крепости: сама природа, кажется, охраняет безопасность феодала, построившего здесь свое родовое гнездо.

Sinking Lessons

The poems in Sinking Lessons portray the vitality of a world full of things and beings we too often disregard, using language that vibrates in harmony with the lively tales it tells—from small, everyday events to stories of shipwrecks and strandings, resurrections and reanimations, arctic adventures and descents into the underworld. The cast of characters includes members of the poet's family alongside heroes from myth and literature, such as Orpheus, Scheherazade, and Frankenstein's Creature. And crowding in upon these, at all times, a multitude of non-human protagonists: sun and stars, wind and water, mud and sand, body fluids, decaying matter, chemicals organic and inorganic, and a great many fishes and birds and beasts. Sinking Lessons is the first collection of poetry from Philip Armstrong, winner of the 2019 Kathleen Grattan Poetry Award.
