New Albion by Dwayne Brenna
... from Coteau Books ...
New Albion follows the lives of the employees of the New Albion theatre in London, England, in 1850, through the journal entries of the stage manager, Emlyn Phillips. Fighting it's own reputation – hindered by it's location and "sketchy" (at best) audience, a police commissioner who demands "morally upstanding" plays, and a playwright so decrepit and addicted to laudanum that the actors of the New Albion are never sure what to expect, the troupe attempts to put on the best show possible, each and every night. The reader is introduced to the entire company of actors, all of whom have their own set of issues, but who consistently band together as a community and family in the face of every obstacle – and there are many. As the theatre encounters problem after problem, Phillips must decide how much he's willing to sacrifice for the sake of his passion.

Today’s Poem
Split Finger --Dwayne Brenna
Used to throw the screwball but pronated hands and elbows don’t make healthy arms Fernando Valenzuela found this out too late
Took a while to stretch my fingers out but I enjambed a ball and held it there for weeks watching Jen on TSN
Then winter came I threw it in the gym for six months straight
So what’s it do? It fades like memories of Mathewson It dies like a wounded skunk and leaves an odor at your door
When it’s working no one hits that thang
