Broadway Baby: A Novel
by Alan ShapiroThis novel of a mom who always dreamed of stardom is “an endearing, witty, and heart-warming take on family life” (Library Journal). As a little girl in Boston, Miriam Bluestein fantasized about a life lived on stage, specifically in a musical. Get married, have a family—sure, maybe she’d do those things, too, but first and foremost there was her future career as a beloved Broadway star. Now grown and living with a short-tempered husband, a cranky mother, and three demanding children, she finds herself playing a different role than those she dreamed about. But one of her kids, Ethan, shows real talent for the stage. As she pushes him to make the most of his promise, the rest of her life gradually comes undone, with her marriage strained and her other two children—Sam, a mass of quirks and idiosyncrasies, and Julie, hostile and bitter—withdrawing into their own worlds. Still Miriam dreams, praying for that big finale, but when it comes, it won’t be the one she imagined. “This novel has something to say to everyone who has ever had a goal and failed to reach it.” —Booklist “How do you put into words thunderous applause, curtain calls, and a standing ovation? That’s what I send out to Alan Shaprio’s remarkable debut novel . . . a beautifully written, often hilarious, memorably moving account of the one and only Miriam Bluestein’s greatest performance: her life.” —Jill McCorkle, New York Times–bestselling author

by Bill BerloniThe sun always comes out tomorrow for the shelter animals Bill Berloni rescues—sometimes from death&’s door—and then trains to meet the demands of the stage. Berloni was a nineteen-year-old theater apprentice more then three decades ago when he was offered his first big break: find and train a dog to appear in the original production of the Broadway hit Annie.

Since then Berloni and his trainers have provided animals for hundreds of films, commercials, and television shows as well as live theater, including productions of The Wizard of Oz and Winn-Dixie, all over North America. In this heartwarming book, he tells the true stories of &“throw-away&” animals who came back to work with some of entertainment&’s biggest names, names like Bernadette Peters, Sarah Jessica Parker, Mike Nichols, the New York City Ballet, and many more. This updated edition includes an account of Berloni&’s search for the newest Sandy to star with everyone&’s favorite red-headed orphan.
Broadway for Paul: Poems
by Vincent KatzFriendship, love, and the potential energy of change animate these poems of walking through New York City.Broadway, the famous artery, both off the grid and definitive of Manhattan as it cuts its way downtown, is a metaphor for Katz's path through these poems: from Lincoln Plaza on the Upper West Side to the African Burial Ground and the courthouses downtown, Katz mines his native city for the deep humanity that undergirds its streets. His title, with its implication that one could give something as large and undefinable as Broadway to a single person, courts an impossibility that generates the possibility of friendship, as well as the largesse Katz wants to find in our civic discourse. In poems such as "Ivanka Skirting" and "This Beautiful Bubble" we encounter his reckoning with a divisive culture that can, he suggests, be healed through our daily acts--through a kind of alert graciousness that also defines his poetry. In this moving collection, we enter Katz's world, both public and private, and experience poetry as a way of seeing that can change hearts and minds.
Brocade River Poems: Selected Works of the Tang Dynasty Courtesan (The Lockert Library of Poetry in Translation #122)
by Xue TaoXue Tao (A.D. 768-831) was well known as a poet in an age when all men of learning were poets--and almost all women were illiterate. As an entertainer and official government hostess, she met, and impressed, many of the most talented and powerful figures of her day. As a maker of beautiful paper and a Taoist churchwoman, she maintained a life of independence and aesthetic sensibility. As a writer, she crrated a body of work that is by turns deeply moving, amusing, and thought-provoking. Drawing knowledgeably on a rich literary tradition, she created images that here live again for the contemporary reader of English. This bilingual edition contains about two-thirds of Xue Tao's extant poems. The translations are based on accurate readings of the originals and extensive research in both Chinese and Japanese materials. The notes at the end of the book explain allusions and place the poems in the context of medieval Chinese culture and its great literary heritage, while the opening essay introduces Xue Tao's work and describes her unusual life history.
