An Anthology of Stories and Poems Inspired by WrexhamIn April 2015, Wrexham hosted its first Carnival of Words – a literary festival with a difference, community-based and aimed especially at encouraging reading and writing across our local districts. It was a huge success. A full week of stunning events, organised by Wrexham’s Library Services, Waterstones, Glyndŵr University and a host of volunteers. But among those events, on World Book Night, Wrexham Library hosted a session for any local writers who might be interested in getting together to form a Wrexham Writers' Group. An astonishing thirty-four writers turned out, formed a Facebook group, organised a series of Open Day workshop events and, one year later, it's grown to a group almost ninety strong. So, when BBC Cymru Wales, the Arts Council of Wales, and What Next? banded together to celebrate creativity in Wales and encourage local groups to take part in their “Get Creative” initiative, the Writers' Group was keen to make its own contribution. The task? To write short stories and poems, all Wrexham-related, to edit them, to publish them online in an anthology and to market them – all in one weekend, 1st – 3rd April 2016. The following stories and poems are the result – and we hope you enjoy them!

She talks to dead people... A year ago, archaeologist Leslie MacIntyre barely survived an explosion that took the life of her fiancé, Matt Connolly. Since then she's slowly come to terms with both her loss and an unsettling ability to communicate with ghosts, a "gift" received in the wake of her brush with death. Now she's returned to lower Manhattan, site of the explosion, to investigate a newly discovered burial ground. In this place restless spirits hold the secrets not only of past injustice but of a deadly conspiracy against the city's women—including Leslie herself. By night Matt visits her in dreams, warning her and offering clues to the truth. By day she finds herself helped by—and attracted to—his flesh-and-blood cousin Joe. Torn by her feelings for both men, caught between the worlds of the living and the dead, Leslie struggles against the encroaching danger. As she is drawn closer to the darkness, she must ultimately face the power of an evil mind, alone in a place where not even the men she loves can save her.

The national bestseller, now available in a non-illustrated, standard format paperback edition   The Power of Myth launched an extraordinary resurgence of interest in Joseph Campbell and his work. A preeminent scholar, writer, and teacher, he has had a profound influence on millions of people--including Star Wars creator George Lucas. To Campbell, mythology was the “song of the universe, the music of the spheres.” With Bill Moyers, one of America’s most prominent journalists, as his thoughtful and engaging interviewer, The Power of Myth touches on subjects from modern marriage to virgin births, from Jesus to John Lennon, offering a brilliant combination of intelligence and wit. This extraordinary book reveals how the themes and symbols of ancient narratives continue to bring meaning to birth, death, love, and war. From stories of the gods and goddesses of ancient Greece and Rome to traditions of Buddhism, Hinduism and Christianity, a broad array of themes are considered that together identify the universality of human experience across time and culture. An impeccable match of interviewer and subject, a timeless distillation of Campbell’s work, The Power of Myth continues to exert a profound influence on our culture.   From the Trade Paperback edition.
