Now you "know" that when the sympathetic nervous system is stimulated, pupils dilate to get more light in to see the situation and heart rate and breathing increase to get more oxygen to ready muscles for fight or flight. Reading this story makes understanding the autonomic responses easier than memorizing a list. Also available: MindTap.

Canary in the Dark is a glance backward into a past of pain and raucous joy too, with that leveling certainty of both distance and knowing. This exuberant new collection of memoir poems offers few definitive answers or epiphanies. In its measured lyrical wake, the reader finds that at the end this awful darkness we seek to escape really holds little fear. This ever familiar coal-mining town and its people of once memory, that defining part of a life....and longing. "Bruce Colbert's poems anatomize a lifelong quest to resolve the irresolvable: The legacy of an emotionally abusive parent. The voice is vernacular, garrulous, and steady, and the landscape of the Appalachian coal belt becomes the treacherous terrain of memory in which the speaker is the bellwether of the title."- Amy Glynn, author of A Modern Herbal "Canary in the Dark captures a landscape of a time and place, of family and faith. A landscape of loss and unwanted change. These poems bring colour to their oblivion and tell truths."- Christopher Hopkins, author of The Last Time We Saw Strangers "A staggering memoir written in reflective prose... that out of the purest joy sometimes comes an awful pain. Stories from a coal mining town boyhood to love to war."- Jeffery Paul Horn, author of Manic

A psychological and poignant novel of those wounds of the heart. In the Deep South and what we do to one another . A prominent Alabama family caught up in the torn fabric of contemporary American life, whose world comes crashing down around them. Most things could be explained and understood while others will go unnamed and inexplicable to all who suffered them. Perhaps what really happened was rather tragic, however, no one quite knows. In the South with fading memories and the sweetest scent of late night Confederate jasmine in the Mobile breeze, everything seemed to surround a dark-haired young woman and her family, though it's hard to clearly remember all those years, and of course, the reasons why. Hers was a family that never seemed to open their hearts to anyone, and the marriage he entered would be as treacherous as their own desperate lives. It seemed doomed from the very beginning, and nothing could or would change that, certainly not these people. It was a flowering garden abloom with unfortunate intention "Colbert writes with beauty, precision, and authority. "Mobile Was a Catholic Town" unfolds with unforgettable characters in a setting that grounds the reader with its detail and sense of three dimensional power. A gorgeous, sophisticated book.--" Taylor Larsen, author of "Stranger, Father, Beloved"

The 60s Deep South. An epic and heartrending journey of the cataclysmic days and reluctant players leading to the murder of MLK. Was the 1968 Memphis assassination of Martin Luther King Jr, a well-planned and financed conspiracy of powerful individuals, people in high places who feared the very words he spoke and his promise for change, seeking to silence him forever? Some say yes. And even today, there are far too many questions which remain unanswered.
