Choirboys await the return of a Mexican bandit to their church--despite the fact that he has been dead for 100 years. A two-bit comedian is inhabited by the soul of his agent--who he has just murdered. A dying man receives a visit from a grandson he has never seen. An obsessed police inspector rents the apartment of a young woman who has committed the most terrible of crimes. An old drunk in Alaska invents a super alter-ego to battle the bigotry and unfeeling he sees around him. These and other characters and situations come vibrantly alive in this finely wrought collection from a talented writer and storyteller. In locales as diverse as Florida, Mexico, India, and China, P. V. LeForge paints a picture of life that is both rich and unique.

The Other Room

Hedden, Worth Tuttle

Has your ball ever rolled into a woodchuck hole in the middle of the fairway? Have you ever wondered why sometimes everything goes left? Or why you can make 10 on a hole one day and birdie it the next. These poems show a reverence for the game of golf and for literary tradition. They are poems for those who have spent cool nights lying in a sand trap just looking up at the stars. But also for those who spend time wondering how many golf balls it would take to fill the lake just to the right of number 5. They are poems--serious and quirky--of the heart and of the cosmos, written by and for people who know that golf and life are more similar than we might imagine. In these pages you will find dogs but not doggerel; limbs but not limericks. The authors are serious about their scores but not too serious to stop and take a good look around the course and a good look inside themselves as well. These are poems that make you realize that, if you put forth your best effort, there are no bad days in golf.
