Selected Poems and Prose Poems

This selection of short plays is a companion to Kirby Congdon's one-act collection of plays, "God is Dead (Again)". At age eighty-seven, Congdon continues in his persistent quest for human understanding. He explores the meaning of life through a variety of existential questions and scenarios played out within the fourteen plays that comprise this collection. Kirby Congdon is one of those rare talents who is able to use a variety of mediums to express his artistic vision. This book represents the dramatic level in his search for enlightenment. Indeed, he blurs the lines between drama and poetry -- lines that have never been that clear anyway -- by using dialogue in his poems and lyrical values in his plays. The reader is taken on a thoughtful and entertaining trip from the personal world of self exploration to more universal commonalities of man's existence. "Here We Are" sparkles with Parkersonian wit.

Here We Are

Dramas & Plays

These seventeen short essays by Kirby Congdon showcase the unique combination of poetic perception and critical wit that has made his book reviews and essays a mainstay of the Small Press Review and other important independent literary journals. Fundamental literary values are examined such as What Is Poetry?, Who Is A Poet?, Why Write Poetry? and Why Read Poetry'. Other subjects are On' Laptops, Recognition, Minorities, Publishing Children, Evolution, Competition and Collecting Books. The collection concludes with the substantial essay, Persona In Poetry, in which Condgon addresses personal voice and its relation to narrative, style, ideas and music. With the insights gained from 89 years of living, Kirby Congdon is a bona fide natural literary resource. These essays should be read by anyone who is interested in the ideas behind contemporary poetry.

Remarks & Reflections (essays)

The first short story collection from the Key West Authors' Coop. A classic that has never gone out of print. Highly popular with locals and visitors for the colorful pictures it paints of the legendary island. ONCE UPON AN ISLAND A Collection of Short Fiction, Poetry &amp; Non-Fiction from New Key West Writers Key West. A place for boat captains from hell, men and women prowling for love, the dreamers, the lovers, the wanderers. Paradise has many faces, many stories, many charms. This collection from 16 new writers will take you through the little lanes and back alleys, to the cemetery, into the shaded backyards of broken down Conch houses and out beyond the reef in a literary exploration of the invisible side of this famous little island. "Sometime these stories and poems talk and sometimes they sing...but the writing is always melodious and proves, once again, that Key West is alive and well in the writerly imagination. If you're interested in the literature of Key West, you can't afford not to read it." David A. Kaufelt Author of The Fat Boy Murders
