FRANNY'S CANDIES “I roll the Kettledrum candy in my mouth.” Franny pictures herself chewing on Boston Fruit Slices and her jaw flexes automatically. “Chewy wedges taste lemon and lime and go BOOM-bah-BOOM when I bite into one.” She adds, “When I unwrap a second Kettledrum out of its tight parchment, I examine the sour and sugar-copper rind. They are better enjoyed in pairs. Tomás, why aren’t Kettledrum candies hard? Like Lifesavers or Butterscotches? When they clink against your teeth, they could sound like a snare or a top hat. I can hear a soft bass rumble a tympani symphony deep within me. I swear, the Kettledrums make my voice go baritone when I sing BOOM-bah-BOOM after eating one. It’s true: I’ve tried it!” Franny confesses this to me under her gummy-bear breath and I agree unconditionally the way a best friend must. We come here because most of her schoolmates do not make their way down the block to Doña Dolce.

    Pamuntjak 1 Laksmi PAMUNTJAK Poetry, essays Ellipsis Has nothing changed? Oil lamps and torch lights catching ellipsis in mid-flight, preventing it from reaching the moon: singed, already, by birds on heat. Baked now, in the sun. Flayed to pith but hiding nothing. Certainty makes fools of us. She doesn’t know her crime, only that she enjoys the increments of the four seasons, and the folds of unswept beaches - No one telling you whether to sink or swim. And now the first waves of shadow roll across the square. The fire-folks are gone and the moon is chalk-white. In the morning there will be a sentence; a full sentence at last - as if things were any different spelt out from what is more or less known. 2005 from Ellipsis Pamuntjak 2 The Embrace on the pain of Egon Schiele They are not unhappy, really, his mouth curled into a poised arc that defines here from everything else, even if his body is fettered by something inside, a lament, a vigil, that refuses to go. She lies hot-pressed against the curve of his chin, her hair quite a different matter, its redness licks like fire. Palm stone hard on his pulse. The cream crests beneath them are the parched soil of their love, pleated now where it once fluttered in the heat of passion. No, it is not that love dies, nor is it expelled the way of language in a city of sorrows. Nor is it frail, the moon that outwits the sun, the wordless serene.

  • Caddie Woodlawn Carol Ryrie Brink
    CADDIE WOODLAWN CAROL RYRIE BRINK WINNER OF THE NEWBERY MEDAL 1 Three Adventurers In 1864 Caddie Woodlawn was eleven, and as wild a little tomboy as ever ran the woods of western Wisconsin. She was the despair of her mother and of her elder sister, Clara. But her father watched her with a little shine of pride in his eyes, and her brothers accepted her as one of themselves without a question. Indeed, Tom, who was two years older, and Warren, who was two years younger than Caddie, needed Caddie to link them together into an inseparable trio. Together they got in and out of more scrapes and adventures than any one of them could have imagined alone. And in those pioneer days, Wisconsin offered plenty of opportunities for adventure to three wide-eyed, red-headed youngsters. On a bright Saturday afternoon in the early fall, Tom and Caddie and Warren Woodlawn sat on a bank of the Menomonie River, or Red Cedar as they call it now, taking off their clothes. Their red heads shone in the sunlight. Tom's hair was the darkest, Caddie's the nearest golden, and nine-year-old Warren's was plain carrot color. Not one of the three knew how to swim, but they were going across the river nevertheless. A thin thread of smoke beyond the bend on the other side of the river told them that the Indians were at work on a birch-bark canoe. "Do you think the Indians around here would ever get mad and massacre folks like they did up north?" wondered Warren, tying his shirt up in a little bundle.
