Poems by Richard Kreawiec
Yao Ming
A biography of Yao Ming, the Chinese basketball player who is a star with the Houston Rockets.
She Hands Me the Razor
The razor in the title poem of this gritty, stunning collection can inflict pain or instill trust. It shaves away layers of duplicity and complicity. But readers will be surprised by the flip side of the title's implication, that this collection is permeated by a persistent, soft undercurrent of vulnerability. Richard Krawiec's collection, She Hands Me the Razor, pushes up against, and sometimes explodes through, the boundaries of both his and his readers' shared truths. This tense and tender collection delves deeply into love, loss, and redemption, which could be the subtitles for each of our lives.
Time Sharing
This riveting, hilarious, and deeply moving novel looks at two people who live on the margins of our society. Artie is a petty thief, a would-be con man, and when he sees Jolene Jello wrestling at a dive bar, he thinks he's found a meal ticket. Jolene is a single mother struggling to find a way to support her sick child. In Artie, she sees the hope of a chance to provide a father figure for her son, and a normal family life for herself. Against all odds, Artie and Jolene begin to develop a deep love for each other. But times are tough, and their luck is bad. They come up with a plan that might help them escape the poverty that is closing in around them—or it might destroy any chance they have at true love. Gritty and unsentimental, Time Sharing depicts the lives of Artie and Jolene with sympathy and humor. The two lovers are so real, so unforgettable, you will be haunted by them the rest of your life.

Literary Trails of Eastern North Carolina
This concluding volume of the Literary Trails of North Carolina trilogy takes readers into an ancient land of pale sand, dense forests, and expansive bays, through towns older than our country and rich in cultural traditions. Here, writers reveal lives long tied to the land and regularly troubled by storms and tell tales of hardship, hard work, and freedom. Eighteen tours lead readers from Raleigh to the Dismal Swamp, the Outer Banks, and across the Sandhills as they explore the region's connections to over 250 writers of fiction, poetry, plays, and creative nonfiction. Along the way, Georgann Eubanks brings to life the state's rich literary heritage as she explores these writers' connection to place and reveals the region's vibrant local culture. Excerpts invite readers into the authors' worlds, and web links offer resources for further exploration. Featured authors include A. R. Ammons, Gerald Barrax, Charles Chesnutt, Clyde Edgerton, Philip Gerard, Kaye Gibbons, Harriet Jacobs, Jill McCorkle, Michael Parker, and Bland Simpson. Literary Trails of North Carolina is a project of the North Carolina Arts Council.
