Moonlight washed over the granite. It was getting cold. Winter was returning. He hiked over the rocks until he reached the Indian camp. Lilith was only a few feet away, curled on her side, under the cover of hem- lock branches. “Lilith?” He crawled into the lean-to. He felt the blood on his hands; he could feel it soaking into the soil. He’d seen blood like this before, from the burst arteries of deer shot with high-powered rifles. “Frederick. Frederick? Is that you?” Her voice was soft as the hemlock boughs. The baby was at her breast. A ray of moonlight fell on the infant’s face. “Beautiful,” Fred- erick said. “You came back. I didn’t think you would. I thought— he’s gone, gone forever.” Her voice was soft as the sound of mist. 1 00hebertPro.001_002_00hebertPro.001_002 6/13/14 11:10 AM Page 2 Prologue “I came back to take care of you.” He knelt by her. He knew he was too late. “Frederick, I’m happy. For the first time in my life, I’m happy.” She put her hand on his beard, and then it slipped away. She shut her eyes. He slid his hand between the baby and Lilith and put it over her heart. He could feel the child’s strong, steady heartbeat and Lilith’s weaker beat. He knew that even at the end dying crea- tures can hear clearly, so he whispered, “I love you.” She opened her eyes for a long moment, and then they closed of their own accord. Each heartbeat was weaker than the last, and then there was none. The child’s heartbeat continued strong and sure, and his son drew in life from his mother’s breast. 2 01hebert.003_015_01hebert.003_015 6/13/14 11:12 AM Page 3 PART 1 The Storm a 01hebert.003_015_01hebert.003_015 6/13/14 11:12 AM Page 4 01hebert.003_015_01hebert.003_015 6/13/14 11:12 AM Page 5 a1 UP FROM DOWN ear Mother, now that I am about to die in this terrible blizzard, Dall my powers of telepathy have returned. I remember every- thing. I remember being born under the lean-to thirteen years ago. I remember the comfort of suckling on your breast. I re- member I could not quite read your mind, because you were al- ready between worlds. I know what you were feeling, though, because I am there now. I’m no longer cold, mother, just tired. I’m curled up in the snow waiting for you. I’m afraid when I get to your heaven I’ll forget this world or I won’t care, so before you come for me, while I can still remember, I want to tell you all that’s happened since you died giving birth to me. It’s June of 1985, middle of the night. I’m two months old, not sure whether this new existence is worth the trouble. Sudden light wakes me. Dad leans into my crib. His breath is rich. He runs his fingers through his beard and stares down at me. He steps back, pauses, lurches this way, then that, reaches into his pocket and pulls a snapshot out of his wallet and holds it in front of my eyes. “Birch, this is your mother, Lilith,” he says, the words slushy. “It 5 01hebert.003_015_01hebert.003_015 6/13/14 11:12 AM Page 6 SPOONWOOD was taken just before she was pregnant with you. She was nine- teen.” At this moment I cannot say what I’m looking at. I can’t even tell up from down. Even so I memorize the shape and col- ors and sounds. Maybe someday I’ll know what they all mean. Grandma Elenore comes into the room. “You woke him,” she says. “He’s not fussing. He’s got eyes like a little man from outer space.” Dad laughs nervously. “It’s one o’clock in the morning, and you’re drunk as a skunk,” Grandma says. “Don’t worry, I won’t spray.” Dad totters back from the crib, and now the light is in my eyes again. I’m thinking that if only I knew up from down I’d recognize the “you” he was trying to show me. “Are you all right?” Grandma Elenore says to Dad. “I’ll be fine, just fine, couldn’t be better if my hair was on fire,” Dad says. I live in the “guest room” of my grandparents’ mobile home. It has a creamy ceiling with warm, bright globes, a maple wood dresser, and a picture on the mauve wall of Jesus and his sacred heart. I have questions. Why do lights go on and off for no ap- parent reason? Do shapes exist in the dark, or do they come into being only with the light? Which way is up and which way is down? I drift off to sleep to a young woman’s voice.

    Artwork, Poetry, and Prose Presented by the Inmates of the South Bay House of Correction & Detainees of the Nashua Street Jail

    Not Beyond Hope Artwork, Poetry, and Prose Presented by the Inmates of the South Bay House of Correction & Detainees Of The Nashua Street Jail Hope: A belief in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances in one’s life. Hope implies a certain amount of perseverance — i.e., believing that a positive outcome is possible even when there is some evidence to the contrary. Sheriff’s Message Welcome to “Not Beyond Hope,” a quarterly compilation of art, poetry, and essays from the inmates at the Suffolk County House of Correction and detainees from the Nashua Street Jail. Not Beyond Hope is designed to provide a positive outlet for creativity and expres- sion by inmates and detainees housed in our facilities, and each edition will include contributors’ reflections on a variety of topics. We hope that you enjoy and appreci- ate the feelings shared in these pages. This edition of Not Beyond Hope features artwork created by inmates who took part in an ongoing art program, which was implemented just over years ago at the Sheriff Andrea J. Cabral House of Correction, and literary contributions from members of “Voices” – a poetry group comprised of male detainees which was launched in early 2008 at the Nashua Street Jail. The art program was designed to not only provide inmates with an introduction to art history and technical instruction, but also with the means through which to practice discipline, focus, and self control – valuable skills that will prove useful as they continue their rehabilitation and, ultimately, reentry into society. The poetry group was created with the intent to provide detainees with the tools to begin learning how to channel negative energies into positive, non-aggressive self-expression.

    FOXATO'S FORUM MAGAZINE 12 °VOLUME UFFICIALE >> Premessa << Ciao a tutti da Foxato. Sono passati più di 2 mesi dal precedente volume. Molte cose sono cambiate, in positivo ed in negativo. Ma una certezza è che la famiglia del FOXATO'S FORUM prosegue la sua strada musicale. Abbiamo ancora molto da dire e lo dimostriamo con i fatti. E per l'occasione ecco un nuovo numero del FOXATO'S FORUM MAGAZINE che inaugura un'edizione ancor maggiore di generi musicali toccati. Mi occuperò di quasi tutte le sezioni musicali del forum, magari qualche titolo in meno, ma tanta musica in più!!! Avremo svariati FREE TALK. Un'anticipazione riguardo LA FUTURA MARATONA DI FOXATO'S RADIO (1991 IS MAGIC), info sull'attuale ROYAL SPRING COMPILATION 2010 e tanto tantissimo altro ;) Che i cuori puri allaccino i loro organi vitali, siam pronti a partire!!! :: Ringraziamenti iniziali a coloro che fan sì che la famiglia prosegua ancora al massimo :: :: Ringraziamenti a BG per questo nuovo numero :: :: Ringraziamenti alle persone che credon ancora nei sorrisi e nei semplici gesti ormai oscurati da una società basata sulla superficialità :: :: NEWS MUSICALI ATTUALMENTE IN PROGRAMMAZIONE SU FOXATO’S RADIO :: Se Foxato's Radio fosse una stazione radiofonica avremmo un organigramma formato da diversi direttori artistici capaci di donare alla radio colori musicali veramente intensi. Ma essendo comunque un gioco noi persone che teniamo in piedi il progetto riusciamo ugualmente a imprimere alla radio un input dedicato alla libertà musicale al 100%. Ed io questo mese mi voglio calare in questo 'ruolo' del direttore artistico proponendovi ciò che ritengo migliore attualmente, prendendo spunto dalle sezioni musicali che di volta in volta ci offron sempre materiale per far passare al meglio i nostri magici pomeriggi.

    25 Years and 5 Years His Junior

    JOE TURNER’S COME AND GONE Synopsis Joe Turner’s Come and Gone, set in 1917, is the story of Harold Loomis who returns to a Pittsburgh in search of his wife. He is haunted by the memory of bounty hunter Joe Turner, the man who had illegally enslaved him. Loomis is unable to fully embrace or release the past. His search brings him to Seth and Bertha’s boarding house with his young daughter, Zonia, where “conjure man” Bynum shows him that he really is searching for himself. Characters BERTHA HOLLY: Seth's wife of 25 years and 5 years his junior. She knows her place in the hierarchy of the boardinghouse, yet still has some say in the decision making and will often voice her opinion. A very loving mother to the boardinghouse family. In the end, she tells Mattie that the only two things you need in your life are love and laughter; the things that she has had faith in and have helped her get by. HERALD LOOMIS: A resident of the boardinghouse. Having been enslaved by Joe Turner for seven years, Loomis has completely lost his way in life. An odd man that dons an overcoat and hat in mid- August, Loomis is 32 years old and a displaced slave searching for his wife. In the end he finds his song, an independent, self-sufficient song that he can sing proudly. MARTHA LOOMIS PENTECOST: Herald Loomis’s wife. She is about 28, very religious and a member of the Evangelical church. She left the South and her daughter behind.

Dr. Susan Zieger ushered me into the world of Western Decadence in the late nineteenth century. Dr. Paul Pickowicz instilled into me a strong interest in and the methodology of cultural history studies. Dr. Perry Link guided me through the palace of twentieth-century Chinese literature and encouraged me to study Decadence in modern Chinese literature in comparison with Western Decadence combining the methodology of literary studies and cultural history studies. All of them have been extremely generous in offering me their valuable advices from their expertise, which made this adventure eye-opening and spiritually satisfying. My special gratitude goes to Dr. Link. His broad knowledge and profound understanding of Chinese literature and society, his faith in and love of seeking the truth, and his concern about the fate of ordinary people are inexhaustible sources of inspiration to me. He confirmed again and again my conviction that literary studies are not just about texts but also, more importantly, about understanding people’s life and thoughts and the world they live in.
