A World Without End
(River City Poetry Series, Volume Six)
Matthew Graham
In the sixth volume of the River City Poetry Series, Matthew Graham muses over the stages of life and the entelechy of the human spirit, over the internal missions that are seeded within us from birth, and yet how our environments define and transform us.
King of Country
Wayne Greenhaw
Bobby Lee Butler has the gift of country music. Given an old guitar, his fingers soon learn to summon forth the music, sweet and lonely. His voice shapes itself into spirituals, gospels, eventually to the blues and boogie tunes that are in his blood. Bobby Lee’s talent carries him from Montgomery (where he lands a singing job on a local radio station) to Nashville (where the Grand Ole Opry is just a stepping stone to a career on national radio, television, and stunning record sales). He is loved by women wherever they can find him, while his wife and children would love just to see him.
