| how horses sleep standing up: The Clean House and Other Plays Sarah Ruhl, 2006-01-01 “Passionate. Show-stopping. Daringly over-the-top and impressively consistent in its delirious excess. The Clean House shines.”—New Haven Advocate “The Clean House is not, by any means, a traditional boy-meets-girl story. In fact disease, death, and dirt are among the subjects it addresses. This comedy is romantic, deeply so, but in the more arcane sense of the word: visionary, tinged with fantasy, extravagant in feeling, maybe a little nuts.”—The New York Times “Touching, inventive, invigoratingly compact, and luminously liquid, Eurydice reframes the ancient myth of ill-fated love to focus not on the bereaved musician but on his dead bride—and on her struggle with love beyond the grave.”—San Francisco Chronicle This volume is the first publication of Sarah Ruhl, “a playwright with a unique comic voice, perspective, and sense of theater” (Variety), who is fast leaving her mark on the American stage. In the award-winning Clean House—a play of uncommon romance and uncommon comedy—a maid who hates cleaning dreams about creating the perfect joke, while a doctor who treats cancer leaves his heart inside one of his patients. This volume also includes Eurydice, Ruhl’s reinvention of the tragic Greek tale of love and loss, together with a third play still to be named. Sarah Ruhl received the prestigious Susan Smith Blackburn Prize in 2004 for her play The Clean House, which has been produced at Yale Repertory Theatre in New Haven, Wilma Theatre in Philadelphia, South Coast Repertory Theatre in Costa Mesa, and Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company in Washington, DC. Her play Eurydice has been produced at Madison Repertory Theatre and Berkeley Repertory Theatre. |

After years of living in fear of her husband, Amanda Banning has left him and moved to Mystic Creek, Oregon, for a fresh start. But she’s having a tough time providing for herself and her six-year-old daughter. Writing her secret yearnings on slips of paper and sending them into the wind helps her cling to the hope that things will get better…and that she can find happiness again. Jeb Sterling has no idea that the handwritten messages he finds scattered across his land are the first hints that his life is about to change. Nor does he understand why he feels so compelled to help Amanda Banning and her daughter when a cold snap leaves them temporarily homeless. Maybe he’s inspired by Amanda’s courage or perhaps by her beautiful brown eyes. Either way, the man who once renounced love suddenly finds himself willing to do anything for the pair. Amanda seems to have given up on her dreams, but Jeb refuses to quit until he makes her every wish come true... |

| how horses sleep standing up: Where Angels Roost Larry C. Scallons, 2009-03 It is the spring of 1932 during the Great Depression. Jonathon Jackson's mother can't afford to keep him in Dallas, and as a puny twelve-year-old kid, he can't get a job. She buys him a Continental Bus ticket and sends him to East Texas to live with her parents. Through the voice of Jonathon Sonny Jackson, this story captures the bond between a boy and his family, a boy and his horse, and the innocence of adolescent love. Scallons genuinely depicts life during the Great Depression as one of hard work, hope and dreams. Unlike mainstream depression-era history, Scallons remembers the humor, love of God, laughter and tears with his writing set in this great time of trial for our country. Larry C. Scallons was born in the late 1920s on a cotton farm outside of Dallas, Texas. A Second World War and Korean War veteran, Scallons has lived all over Texas and travelled the world. He is a successful businessman who has written several short stories and is currently working on another novel. |

| how horses sleep standing up: Twilight on the Range William Timmons, 2014-05-23 Billie Timmons was fourteen when he met Charles Goodnight—over a wagonload of manure that had been jammed on a gatepost—and he went to work on the Goodnight Cross J Ranch shortly thereafter. The spirit of helpfulness that led Mr. Goodnight to strip off his coat and lift the wagon free for a lad in need sets the tone of this book, in which the author unwinds a spool of recollections of range-riding in Texas and North Dakota over an eighteen-year period. When Billie Timmons went to work for Mr. Goodnight in 1892, Texas was undergoing a rapid transition from open range to fences. But around Texas campfires he heard tales about the northern range, told by cowboys who had ridden there and who had seen the northern lights, the tall free grass, swollen streams, and stampeding cattle. A longing to see that exciting country took hold of young Timmons. His chance came when four buffaloes from the Goodnight ranch needed a nursemaid for their freight car trip to Yellowstone Park. Once in the northern country, Timmons stayed, casting his lot with the cowmen of North Dakota. He became the protégé of an extraordinary man, William Ray; he was foreman, friend, and confidant of banker-rancher Wilse Richards, a member of the Cowboy Hall of Fame. But even during his days in North Dakota he never lost touch with Charles Goodnight, a lifelong friend, and his portrayal of Goodnight provides much insight into the character of the man whose name belongs to the West. In this book you experience the terror of being lost in the dead-white expanse of a North Dakota snowstorm; the gaiety of cowboy dances, for which there were never enough women available; the excitement of a near-riot in a Hebron, North Dakota, saloon, where cowboys from the 75 Ranch drank up or poured out all the liquor, then smashed all the glasses and bottles—one day before the state became bone-dry; and the loneliness of work on the range, where a flickering lantern on the side of a chuck wagon on a stormy night meant home for many a cowboy. Running like a bright thread through the narrative is Billie Timmons’s love of horses, from whom he learned the wisdom that some horses and some men are to be handled with great care and others are not to be handled at all. His chapter on Buck, his best-loved horse, is memorable. In North Dakota, as in Texas, fences brought the end of the big herds and the end of cowboying for a man who enjoyed it to the hilt. |

| how horses sleep standing up: The Rhythm of Nature Todd Cheney, 2003-12-07 Adventure, fantasy, magic and prophecy combine in The Rhythm of Nature, Book Two in Cheney's Seventh Circle series. An excerpt: Up ahead, he caught sight of their final destination. Rows of great, winged lizards were tied down to heavy wooden stakes in the ground. Thaklar knew these as the Taradons. At times, some of the flying beasts tested their bonds, trying to free themselves, while others spread their wings idly. The wingspan of just one of the beasts could shade twenty men easily and their long, sharp beaks could spear the most experienced warrior without pause. In addition to razor talons that allowed them to pick their prey from the ground, or the air, their scaly hides were ample protection from arrows and sling stones. Sindraal had chosen this day to teach his pupil how to pilot one of the Taradons. . . . . .The lesson progressed and the pilot first strapped in Thaklar on the back of the Taradon, then himself. Sindraal led the beast by the reins to an open field. Once there he handed the reins to the pilot. The beast, at its controller's urging, broke into a dead run, flapping its wings all the while. Soon they were airborne and after a few minutes, the pilot handed the reins to Thaklar. The air rushing past their heads made speaking to each other impossible while in flight, but he still remembered the instructions given to him on the ground. He pulled the reins right and the beast flew right. Left meant left. The degree of sharpness to which he jerked the reins indicated the speed of the turn. After making a couple rights and a couple lefts, he handed the reins back to the pilot as agreed. The pilot brought the beast around and soon they had landed on the ground again. Once back in the pens, the pilot mumbled something about Thaklar being good with animals, a half-hearted compliment meant to abate the ire of the acolyte's master, Sindraal, who stood ready to take charge of his student once again. The training pilot then moved off to find his next charge. Sindraal and Thaklar left the Taradon pens and began to walk in the direction of the keep. Barely an hour had passed since Demtry had arrived with the message of the planned meeting. |
