Groundbreaking 1920 stage drama that introduced the term "robot" to popular culture. A powerful industrialist creates human-like machines that become self-aware and rebel against their creators.
Twenty original, road-bound stories spanning America's long memory, following ordinary people at extraordinary crossroads, where a single mile can change everything.
On a stretch of U.S. 40 near Effingham, Illinois, a scrapyard stands in stubborn order. Silas Vance is a scrap man—precise, disciplined, unwilling to let iron or principle slip out of alignment. When developers and county officials descend on his property, the test is quiet but decisive: can stewardship withstand ambition?
This poem is the first work in a multi-part literary cycle.
This epic poem by Stephen Vincent Benet won the Pulitzer Prize in 1928 and remains one of the best known examples of American epic poetry. It recounts the Civil War from the perspective of the soldiers, civilians, statesmen, and enslaved persons who lived and died in the nation's defining conflict.
NEW! The second work in the Iron & Ashes cycle expands upon the story of the Vance scrapyard in a style that merges poetic cadence with lyrical, grounded prose. This work explores themes of craftsmanship, stewardship, law, family, and the enduring weight of place.
