NO ROYALTIES????? So unfair, i will buy the audiobooks upon who is narrating (truly acting) this book....especially when you make me forget you are only one person in that booth. To me, audible BELIEVABLE reading is more difficult than any other acting job

Pope Gregory XVI condemned slavery in 1838, however many bishops, priests and laity did not accept that decree until a more forceful pronouncement was made in 1888 by Pope Leo XIII. Mary must have been one of those who rejected Pope Greogory's condemnation at the time.

The Church's teaching on slavery was clear. The 1839 Constitution <In Supremo> by Pope Gregory XVI continued the antislavery teaching of his predecessors, and was in the same manner not accepted by many of those bishops, priests and laity for whom it was written. Especially in the southern states.

I had not heard of this fabulous poet until today. I receive a poem a day in my email and today’s was Jeffrey Harrison’s entitled, Older Love , which I thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you for the reading and short bio by the interviewer.

Where did Larson get all her information about Mary Surrat from. What documents support her view that she was guilty.

John Surrat Jr was not found not guilty. It was a hung jury and the govt decided not to retry.

The book took off it haves memorable moments in time, probably WWII. Cora & Mrses Russell's one Black & White -take a pilgrimage to France Meuse Aragon & Verdun to visit some unknown tombs and some known tombs-they form War Mothers & form Party A. Linwood sounds handsome who fancies Cora. This is not a copy cat it is an original story with flair....

Great collection of photos.

i am andre dubus ii's long lost son, in fact. you wont find that in the biographies.

Michael, see if this makes you want to dig deeper and do a sequel. Here is an observation, Oxford had no need to do what his employees were already doing for him. Every theatrical group, including Oxfords, had half a dozen stock playwrights updating hundreds of plays which were in circulation. Oxford may have revised, he may have edited, he may have even assembled the first folio, it would have been beneath his station for him to have written the plays. This is suggested by the Henslowe diary. This Blanding quote makes the organizational structure of writing plays look a bit compartmentalized. A knowledgeable Lord would write a story line with notable quotes for the stock playwrights. The playwrights would organize the material into acts and sceans with stage direction. This would be followed by rehearsals, critiques, and revisions. And then the performances for the audiences. Players would learn and perform a round Robin of half a dozen plays doing a different play every day. This is suggested by the available evidence and from the overlap of North in Shakespeare.... "Not once, in all that time, have I found anything to disprove the notion that Thomas North wrote source plays for all of the plays in the Shakespeare canon. Nor, however, have I found anything that definitively proves it. Despite the First Folio, there are no surviving plays with Thomas North’s name on them, or even hard evidence that North was a playwright. There are no references to his dramatic works in letters, theater registers, or revels records. There are no surviving documents that place him in Italy in 1570 or Kenilworth in 1575 …. In short, it’s entirely possible McCarthy has devoted a decade and a half of his life to a fantasy - an imaginative and plausible one, to be sure, but a pipe dream, which may prove no less true than the notion that the Earl of Oxford or Sir Francis Bacon secretly penned all of Shakespeare’s oeuvre." Any theory must account for all of the available evidence. So is the answer to "Who wrote Shakespeare?" the stock playwrights.

Guilty leave it to Hollywood to lie

Peter Orner: loving reading now more than writing?!? After writing seven books. Wonder if he’ll keep writing anyway: hope so. Hate to lose that voice.

Yes: Peter Orner’s books are indeed unique. I cheerfully sacrificed two pens & a full night’s sleep for my notes & underlining when rereading “Still No Word From You”. Focus: “the only honest way to construct a life on the page is the gathering of fragments.” Well said. Yes: writers ARE all “unreliable narrators” - thankfully. Contradictions are perhaps that “gathering of fragments”.

I’m gonna go have a cigarette

The sins of the fathers Are visited from old In a never ending circle Of people bought n sold So the wretched of the earth Will huddled from the cold As the ship of fools goes sailing In an ocean black as gold.

Matthew Buckley Smith will be reading his poems at the Newburyport Literary Festival April 29, 2:30 p.m. in persona at the Newburyport Library.

The Shakespeare industry, centered in Stratford-upon Avon, is the biggest tourist attraction in Britain... so anything that challenges that cash cow is going to be unaccepted, regardless of how much evidence against WS's genius is brought forth- and this work, after reading everything Dennis and Michael (and June), have written, which is an absolute slam-dunk, does just that.

What a great novel, I simply loved it. Thank you, well done!

What fun, listening in on a conversation between two of our great writers...

There is much more evidence, or lack of it, that Shaksper of Stratford writing Shake-speare is the "conspiracy theory".

Per my Kindle I'm 44% finished with The Latecomer. Jeez, this woman can write. Such a keen eye and precision with language. Can't put it down.

To whom it may concern. Not a peep from Tim.

Just to let you know in advance: this is an episode of "The Joyce Maynard 'I'm Still Talking About J.D. Salinger' Show." It has almost nothing to do with "The Art of Authentic Memoir."

It is at the edges of what we think we know that things get interesting, especially when science (w its current tools or for some other reason) can’t explain a certain phenomenon

Is this real science? Or just a bunch of speculation?

Tim, you might wish to read 'The Eruption in Tulsa' by NAACP investigator Walter White. Walt says that a group of 75 black guys killed 10 whites (with a loss of 2) at the courthouse. No mention of the number of injuries. This was in the evening before the attack on Greenwood. Some may say that this courthouse massacre led to the destruction of Greenwood. If you disagree with this claim, please do.

Linda Pastan is an extraordinary poet. Thank you.

Currently reading Not Without Laughter for #mayofthemoderns and there's a piece where a character describes a fictional southern town burnt down in a similar riot... might have been pointing to Tulsa, or just the many similar experiences of successful middle class Blacks in the south at the time.

Fascinating discussion with some of my favorite narrators!

Awesome book. Buy and give to those who move into Newburyport. Hint for neighbors to spread Kindness. and….Realtors interested in repeat business.

Just saw Nicario's art at the Cherry Creek Arts Fesival in Denver. His work on immigration and the scenes at the border are amazing and very moving. Seeing children literally in cages in his work is amazing. His political works are his best. Glad the video provides some background to his work.

Why number 7 &half is choosen?Thank you.

Robert E. Lee released all his slaves before he went to war. The civil war (or better: the war between the states) was not about slavery as we are told today. It was about economy. Lincoln said that if he could preserve the Union without releasing one single slave, he would do it. And if he could preserve the Union by releasing only half of all slaves, he would do that too. And thtat he had never thought of equality of rights for the blacks. The war was completely useless. It cost more than 600.000 lives. And slavery would have been abolished pretty soon without a war. Brazil abolished slavery in 1869. And if there were a USA and a CSA, there would have been no Adolf Hitlere and no Nazi-Germany.

for me, the discussion, though limited, strikes as a glimpse that there is communication between the magnificent brain and the Soul, with whom we have had very little universal understanding.

Bla, bla, bla. Mary Surratt was a patsy. The US government played the role of Jack Ruby and whacked her to shut-her-up and keep the Narrative going. The parallels with JFK are endless.

Wonderful panel; learned so much.

What a treat! Thanks for sharing the work of these amusing, insightful and engaging poets!

He made a great discovery, but couldn't leave it at that. Shame, really.

This was an excellent presentation by Dr. Larson and the follow up questions from Ms. Hendrickson were superb. It's quite clear that Mrs. Surratt was guilty of being an accomplice in the murder of a US President. It was a serious crime that was set in motion to severely damage the stability of the government. I will always believe that her execution was warranted.

man she slammed hard into that wall.

I wonder why they never questioned the maid in all this she might have been the killer.

Such a good talk: looking forward to reading this book very soon :)

Dr. Kate Sharp Landdeck will talk about her book "The Women With Silver Wings: The Inspiring True Story of the Women Airforce Service Pilots of World War II" on Sunday, May 31 at 1pm. Visit newburyportliteraryfestival.org/ for more information and to register.
