FLP CHAPBOOK OF THE DAY: Bramble by Brooke James
TO ORDER GO TO: https://www.finishinglinepress.com/product/bramble-by-brooke-james/
RESERVE YOUR COPY TODAY
Here is a collection of poems firmly rooted in a sense of place: rural New England. Why Bramble? Because, reflects the author, if bramble has an address, it’s where I grew up. True to its title, Bramble crisscrosses, wanders, entices with blossom and snags with occasional thorn. Above all else, Bramble is an ode to the undeniable tangle of life that lies between the garden and beyond.
ADVANCE PRAISE FOR Bramble by Brooke James
These poems resonate with poetry’s essential gift—the thrill of being. The poet’s gratitude is exemplary yet at times understandably rueful: so much is given, so little to hold onto. Nonetheless, an appreciation founded in ardor wins the day. We, the readers, are all the better for meeting these wise, vibrant poems.
–Baron Wormser, Maine Poet Laureate 2000-2006, Author of Songs from a Voice
The tender clarity of Brooke James’s snapshot-like poems is so precisely rendered, so crisp and exquisitely honest, it reminds us that any at moment, whether we are considering a child’s hand print on a glass door or a collection of laundry on a clothes line, by paying attention to the simplest and most un-remarkable aspects of experience, we can be invited to participate in the quiet and thrilling mysteries and paradoxes that are threaded through our lives.
–Michael Collier, Director Emeritus, Bread Loaf Writers’ Conferences

E. Allen “Preacher” Course, Jr., born June 18, 1928, to Ellwood A. Course, Sr. and Jessie (Wormser) Course in Lincoln, Kan., peacefully passed away in his sleep March 29, 2021 in Stockton, Kan., at the age of 92.
He lived his life faithfully serving his God, his family and his country. His reunion with his wife Frances must have been wonderful, but seeing his Savior (whom he loved so much) must have been best of all!
He graduated from Lincoln High School in 1946. From 1948 to 1952 he served his country as a U.S. Marine during the Korean War.  Upon his return from Korea in 1951, he married his sweetheart Frances Jordan.
In 1952, having been honorably discharged from the USMC, he attended Bob Jones University in Greenville, S.C. to prepare for the ministry. He graduated in 1959 with a BA in the School of Religion.
He and Frances then moved their family back to Kansas, where he pastored Sun Valley Baptist Church in Vine Creek, Kan., from 1960-1962, Manchester Baptist Church in Manchester, Kan., from 1962-1975, and Grace Baptist Church in Chapman, Kan., from 1975-2008. He also worked for the SS Kresge/Kmart store in Salina from 1960-1990.  He loved spreading the Gospel of Christ, spending time with his family and church and writing poetry.
He is preceded in death by his parents and his wife Frances. He is survived by his daughters, Laura Goodman (Roger) of New Bern, N.C.; Linda Moore (Mark) of Moore, Okla.; Lydia Weiss (Jerry) of Greer, S.C.; Lella Richards (Dale) of Escalante, Utah; and Martha Fleck (Brad) of Stockton, Kan.; grandchildren Joshua A. (Emily), Jeremy, Matthew, Michael (Brittany), Nathan (Christina), Timothy, Sarah (Jon), Caleb (Carol) and Joshua J.; great grandchildren Joel, Andrew, Benjamin, Stephen, Olivia, Charlotte and Emmalyn; and his brother Dave Course, as well as many nieces and nephews and dear friends.
Services will be held at Abilene Bible Baptist Church in Abilene, Kan., on Monday, April 5, 2021 at 2 p.m. with Pastor Carson Johnson officiating. Internment will follow at Keystone Cemetery, Manchester, Kan., with military honors provided by the United States Marine Honor Guard.
There will be no visitation.  Memorial contributions may be made to the Pew Fund at Stockton Baptist Church in Stockton, KS or Abilene Baptist Academy and sent in care of the Danner Funeral Home, 501 N. Buckeye, Abilene, KS 67410.  
Condolences may be sent to the family at www.dannerfuneralhome.net.

Vintage MTI (Movie Tie-In) from the 1964 comedy starring Marlon Brando, David Niven and Shirley Jones. If this sounds familiar, you're right! It was remade in 1988 with Steve Martin and Michael Caine as "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels." From IMDB (comment by Dale Launer, writer of "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels"): ��I saw it in the late '60's on TV when I was home from school. Years later I became a screenwriter and got a call from David Bowie's production company. He and Mick jagger wanted to do a movie together and hoped I would write it. I suggested doing a remake of Bedtime Story with Bowie as Lawrence Jamison and Mick as Freddy. They were both interested, the studio (UA) was interested, but the movie had been made at Universal and there was no way they could get the rights. A number of other studios were interested, but couldn't wrestle the right away from Universal. Turns out no had bothered to do a copyright search. I did. Turns out the rights had reverted back to the original writer/producer Stanley Shapiro. We met at the Pink Turtle (a coffee shop at what was the Beverly Wilshire) and did a deal on a napkin. The original title was King of Hill. Since Stanley was the man behind the Doris Day/Rock Hudson/Cary Grant movies - he decided to write (with Maurice Richlin - who went on to pen the original Pink Panther) a movie where Cary Grant and Rock Hudson would compete for Doris Day. Apparently, Cary had asked Rock to do a movie with him, but Rock had turned him down. So Cary didn't want to do a movie with Rock. And Doris wouldn't do the movie without the both of them. Hence it was re-cast with Niven, Brando and Shirley Jones. Stanely said this movie didn't do all that well in its original run. He felt that the movie fell flat in the south because of Brando championing civil rights. Thought I do prefer my ending, but this is nevertheless a very charming movie. Which is why I tried to preserve as much as the original as possible. Hey, if ain't broke, don't fix it. And certainly don't change it.” Title: Bedtime Story Author: Richard Wormser (based on the screenplay by Stanley Shapiro & Paul Henning) Publisher: Gold Medal k1427 Cover Illustration: Photo Cover Paperback Original (PBO) Printing: 1st, 1964 I WANT IT!

Los Angeles Overnight – Interview with Screenwriter Guy J. Jackson
by Staci Layne Wilson
 Even though I’m born and bred in L.A., I still see the city as a magical place and its history absolutely fascinating. That’s why I was so interested in chatting with screenwriter and actor Guy J. Jackson about his new independent film LOS ANGELES OVERNIGHT, a neo-noir directed by Michael Chrisoulakis, and filmed on location. The movie stars Arielle Brachfeld, and features icons such s Lin Shaye, Sally Kirkland, and Peter Bogdanovich.
 “Arielle's apartment complex in LAO was once lived in by Leslie Howard of GONE WITH THE WIND,” Guy told me, when I asked him about some of the more under-the-radar locations of the film. “One of the noir movies I studied heavily for dialogue-style was THE PETRIFIED FOREST and then voila, there we were at poor ol' Leslie Howard's bungalow complex.”
Tumblr media
 He also said that one of the locations has an especially dark past. “Aaron Kai's scene and a lot of audition scenes and the basement scene and the bar scene were all filmed at Harold Examiner Building, which has now been closed down for filming.” (The filmmakers consider themselves very lucky to be among the last allowed to shoot there.) “Anyway, I don't know all the details, but according to one of the building managers, William Hearst's pregnant mistress was last seen in the top floor office of that building, the room right next door to where we did the scene with Arielle in the acting class. Then she vanished because Hearst was married.
 “And the bar in the last scene where Arielle meets Junebug is of course in the basement of the American Legion on Highland, and its where Kubrick did pick up shots for The Shining. The stories from the American Legion are also legion, including the gross one about the theater where they showed girls to studio execs in the 20s, and if you go visit the building the enthusiastic veteran manager there is more than happy to show you around and give you the blow-by-blow of the history.”
Tumblr media
 = = =
 Q: Neo-noir contains the stock elements of its’ predecessor; the femme fatale, the morally ambiguous hero, complex plots, the double-cross, hard boiled dialogue, and so on. But there is room to play within the genre – and you did that. How would you describe LAO to film buffs?
 ​A: Let's say it's a sun-drenched, crazy-from-the-heat thriller by way of a David Lynch vibe with dashes of early Tarantino (though by no means is this one of those PULP FICTION knockoffs from the '90s, we totally totally totally promise) gently souped with Hitchcock odes. But also we managed to tap the hyper-surreal side of L.A., and so in some weird ways I'd geekily-film-buff-ly reference Steve Martin's L.A. STORY.
 That's all just touchstones though, even as we call it "noir" or an "L.A. movie" or whatever else. I think and hope it's just something unto itself. I hope anyone can jam with this movie. Director Michael Chrisoulakis, in his calm, workmanlike way, unified the whole cast and crew and movie around a "we are all dreamers" campfire. Sure, dreams most often unfold in darkness, especially in this movie's case, but isn't it still kinda nice and charming that all of humanity dreams?
 So could we call LOS ANGELES OVERNIGHT "a dream about dreamers made by dreamers in one of the world's nexuses of dreams"? Would that sell a film buff, and everyone else?
 Yeeesh, I'm such a Logline Can Of Wormser.
= = =
Q: Have you always been a fan of noir? If so, what are some of the first ones you remember seeing and how did they affect you? If not, then what was the prompt to write a screenplay like this?
 ​A: I really always loved Film Noir without actually knowing what it was for quite some time, not knowing it was defined by The Great Depression and all that stuff, and I especially liked any movie written by Ben Hecht or featuring ​Edward G. Robinson. But then Michael Chrisoulakis kindly came along and was like: "You just write me this neo-noir about an actress who steals big, just do that and we can make it, you'll see." and I was like: "Um, well, I'm not Hitchcock or nuthin', sure you got the right writer...?" and he was like: "No, it'll be fine, you write good emails." and away it all went.
 So from there I dug into the lore of what Film Noir was and where it came from and Michael and me went to the Film Noir Festival and so on and this whole universe opened up. My very favorite Film Noirs became THE PETRIFIED FOREST and HEAT LIGHTNING. I especially dig how they go showy with dialogue from the days of being a theatre major. Lots of dense dialogue always turns my crank. And man oh man the Noirs were sharp about it when they were first invented. They were reacting to a specific melancholy in society, for really the first time that film got to do as much, and they were reacting sharply. And I guess SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS would be one of the bestest examples for anyone who wants to hear just how sharp the dialogue could get. But then maybe I was the only Noir Neophyte out there and everyone already knows this stuff.
Tumblr media
 And finally I had the words of one of these screenwriting gurus, John Truby, ringing in my head, when weirdly, because it was years before I met Michael, I went up and asked Truby some dumb Noir-neophyte question at his seminar and he said (paraphrasing): "In Film Noir no one really changes. There is no "change" character. Life is rocky but somehow that's still an elegant thing. The best and most innocent people in the story might meet unfair ends...but somehow that's okay. The world is balanced by injustice in Noir. That's why it's a shadow facet of the human story." So yeah, I could dig that.
 = = =
Q: Since you read scripts for a living, how did you find that basis of knowledge helpful in writing yours? (It seems it could go either way; ignorance can be bliss, after all!)
 ​A: Yeah, that's my day job and I read for a couple contests. Generally, out of every 10 scripts, one will be awful, one will be great, and the other 8 will be in need of more drafts. Whereas Hollywood Cynicism would demand that 9 screenplays out of 10 are awful. But no, people are becoming better and better at telling their stories, and so from those 8 out of 10 almost-but-not-quite scripts you can still observe patterns of failure and success and learn and be better. It's always fascinating when perfectly decent scripts suddenly drop the ball on page 70 and can't stick the landing of their Act 3s. We've all been there as screenwriters, eh? So you'd think that "failed" screenplays (which are really only screenplays that haven't seen an insane amount of drafts) would drive you to "chameleon" them and you, too, would become a terrible writer. But no, if you read 500, or 1000 screenplays a year, the good, bad, and ugly, you get a sense of where blunders and pitfalls are, and you then start to avoid such missteps in your own work. A couple producers I read for have brilliant-yet-unmade scripts on hand, so of course I get my doses of others' perfections, too, but even when the occasion arrives to read complete garbage you still learn things. I reckon reading scripts by the ton can actually can make anyone, by teensy tiny increments, a better writer. All grist for the mill.
 = = =
Q: Los Angeles has such an incredibly and unparalleled film history, especially in regard to locations. You had so many wonderful ones at your fingertips – were they written into the script, or, as indie filmmakers, were you guys pretty fluid in your approach?
 ​A: Mostly fluid. We filmed over 9 months, dribs and drabs, here and there, scrabbling together shoots whenever we could. There were some locations that were picked in advance, like the diner, which is a stock location for movies (Lin Shaye, while on set there, said: "Oh, this is about the 8th time I've filmed a movie here.") Or there were some locations Michael was obsessed with getting from the get go. He was always after the 1st Avenue Bridge (the scene with the train) and palm trees (I guess they don't have them in Australia cuz Michael really really really really was into those palm trees), and he definitely had a Herzog-ian obsession with setting a scene in an oil field.
 ​But just as often Michael or me would say "Dude, I saw this great spot for filming such and such..." and away we went. We picked the beach location, the midnight bike path location, the "rabbit hole" location all like that.
 It worked because Michael had these wide open Australian eyes for seeing everything as stuff from a different country from the one he was from, of course. And I don't have a car and I bike or walk or public transport around everywhere so I was already deeply exploring L.A. in that fashion.
 I'm glad we were completely crazy and blind with ambition and seized by the movie gods because looking back I can't believe I was so innocent as to write a script with an impossible amount of locations and filming to do on our shoestring budget. But I'm glad for that innocence, it led to a great adventure. And for some reason the movie just kept getting made and getting made until it was made and distilled. A small miracle, considering its journey across the whole of the city.
 = = =
Q: The shady lady at the center of the story is always key in these mysteries; can you talk a bit about how Arielle Brachfeld, who is really anything but hardboiled (both in life and on camera, she has an innate sweetness), was cast and what she brought to the table?
 ​A: We so completely totally lucked out entirely to meet Arielle, and not just because we would call her randomly over a period of almost a year and be like: "Uh, oh, hey, can you film such-and-such this weekend?" and she kept showing up with a smile and remembering the placement of her bookmark in whatever part of the performance.
 But anyway Arielle's "inherent sweetness" is perfect in being so disarming to the purposes of the movie. Great ghoulish fun to watch this innocent person become arch and destructive and not mind giving away her conscience. But the question of whether her character is that way from the get-go, and the question of whether its cravenness or misguided hypnotherapy or plain boredom that drives her to wrecking everything around to get what she wants is a fun question (or so we hope) for the audience to chew over after the show.
  = = =
 Q: When you wrote the script, did you already plan on playing Smalls?
 ​A: Yeah, Smalls actually began as a cameo because I kinda sideline half-assedly in Acting. But then as the movie kept getting made and getting made and getting made Smalls accidentally became a larger character, because his thru-line of "fuck it, go for it" matched and paralleled Priscilla's (the anti-hero, Arielle's part) thru-line. But my primary motivation was to play a character who didn't have any lines to memorize. Because I'd just come off two years of doing one man shows and I was sick to death of memorization. But what was so gratifying with Smalls was when the character seemed to demand I go deeper than just avoiding memorization. I love it when art forces you to work with profundity in ways you didn't expect.
 = = =

Finding the tick in time could save you from Lyme!
“Doesn’t it typically happen during the summer?” asked a worried lady that had walked into my clinic in November with a growing circular rash on her wrist. She was referring, of course, to Lyme disease, that scourge of outdoor enthusiasts. While the peak season for Lyme disease is indeed summer, the ticks that transmit it are active March through December. And, while this may be off-season for the ticks, it is a good time to catch up on how to stay safe in the not-so-distant spring.
What is Lyme disease, and how do you treat it?
Lyme disease is caused by a bacterium called Borrelia burgdorferi which is spread to people through the bite of infected black-legged ticks, also popularly known as “deer ticks.” Early symptoms include a typical enlarging red rash (“bullseye rash”) at the site of the tick bite. This is common, but not everyone with Lyme disease gets this rash. Other signs of Lyme include flu-like symptoms (fever, fatigue, and headache). If left untreated, over time the infection can lead to Bell’s palsy (paralysis or weakness of facial muscles on one side), meningitis (inflammation in the brain and spinal cord), heart rhythm problems, and joint pain and swelling. Additional symptoms can include headaches and stiff neck, tingling and numbness (often in the hands and feet), and rarely, inflammation of the eyes.
The diagnosis is usually based on a person’s symptoms, the presence of the typical rash, and a history of likely exposure to infected ticks. Lab tests for Lyme disease do not turn positive until three to four weeks after the infection. Usually doctors do not wait for the results of these tests during the early stage of the disease, to begin treatment.
Once diagnosed, Lyme disease can be successfully treated with a few weeks of oral antibiotics. Doxycycline is the antibiotic prescribed to all but pregnant women and children, who usually get the antibiotics amoxicillin or cefuroxime. For people with severe heart or neurological symptoms of Lyme, intravenous antibiotics are usually necessary.
Here’s what you can do to keep from getting Lyme disease
As always, prevention is superior to cure. Right now, there is no Lyme vaccine available for people. There is a Lyme vaccine available for dogs! However, it does not protect against other tick-borne diseases, hence preventive measures against ticks are still necessary. Most dogs exposed to Lyme disease do not have symptoms. Some develop fever, lack of appetite, lameness, and joint swelling. Therefore, staying safe requires preparation and vigilance. The ticks that transmit Lyme disease are tiny, and you can’t feel it when a tick attaches to you. They may even make their way into your home by attaching themselves to pets. Here are some steps to follow to remain safe.
Avoid wooded and bushy areas with tall grass and stick to the center of trails when hiking.
Wear light clothing to make ticks easier to detect.
Wear long pants tucked into socks to keep ticks on the outside of clothes.
Use DEET or a permethrin-based tick repellent on clothing and outdoor gear.
Pesticides like permethrin, fipronil, or amitraz may be used on dogs. These are available in the form of powders, impregnated collars, sprays, or topical treatments.
Do remember to never use tick repellents that are intended for dogs on a cat! Cats are extremely sensitive to a variety of chemicals.
When back home, shower or bathe as soon as possible and carefully inspect the entire body to remove any attached ticks. It takes up to 36 hours for the bacterium to be transferred after the tick bite. Prompt removal of the tick will reduce the chance of infection.
Tumble dry clothes on high heat for at least 10 minutes to kill ticks.
Carefully examine children and pets after outdoor activity.
 If you find a tick along for the ride, here’s what you need to do
Use thin tipped tweezers to grasp the tick as close to the skin surface as possible. Pull the tick straight upward with steady even pressure to remove the tick with the mouthparts intact. Squeezing the tick will not increase the risk of infection. Adult ticks are a lot more difficult to remove intact. If the mouthparts break off, the chance of getting Lyme disease is the same as if you hadn’t removed the tick at all. After removing the tick, thoroughly clean the bite area and your hands with rubbing alcohol, an iodine scrub, or soap and water. Watch for signs and symptoms of Lyme disease for up to 30 days.
See your doctor within 72 hours of the tick removal and if the tick removed was swollen. You may benefit from preventive antibiotics. This is especially important if you live in (or have visited) an area where deer ticks are common.
Create a tick-free zone around your home
Need a little more motivation to mow the lawn or rake the yard? Remember that ticks lurk in tall grasses, brush, and weeds around homes and at the edge of lawns. Remove any old furniture, trash, or mattresses from the yard that may give the ticks a place to hide. Place a three-foot-wide barrier of wood chips or gravel between lawns and wooded areas and around patios and play equipment to restrict tick migration into recreational areas. Stack wood neatly in a dry area (this discourages rodents that carry the ticks). Keep playground equipment, decks, and patios away from yard edges and trees, and place them in a sunny location if possible.
Lyme disease is a painful but preventable condition. When you enjoy the outdoors this year, pay close attention to your environment and follow the steps mentioned above to stay safe and keep your family and your pets safe too!
