 Sacred Selections by Julie, Jarad, and Morty Here are some of the things the chickens believe you should spend your time reading this weekend. Julie chose a short story collection that features a small town haunted, both by ghosts and by its racist past. Given the current climate, it tends to feel less like we're haunted by racism and more like it never died in the first place. Jarad has two things to recommend this week: The first is the book about the Chimpanzees of Gombe, and Dr. Goodall's extraordinary work done there. The second is a Politico article explaining the White House Press Secretary, and how she manages and attempts to put out the ever present fires at the White House Morty recommends a movie that shines a light on poverty in a county near Disneyworld and those that live in the shadows of the happiest place on earth..  CONTEST ENDED UPDATE: This Contest is over, but Morty is contemplating another one. Please keep visiting the site and he will let you know! What is Your Uncle Morty celebrating? The fact that people are starting to submit to the first annual Sacred Chickens Writing Contest. There are no entry fees. Submissions are blind. We don't hold copyrights. Uncle Morty can't read the submissions until the contest ends, but he's already getting excited. We can't decide whether to take his brandy away or put valium in it. Here's the scoop!  Heart of the Broken World Author, Jeff Weddle by Julie Carpenter Jeff Weddle writes poetry that captures the terrible dilemma of being human, the paradoxical notion that goodness and beauty may be best appreciated by those who have find themselves on the outside looking in. In all of his poetry, we find decency swallowed by corruption, and then still leaving a shadow of itself, an infection of left over hope.  Hold Me Closer, Necromancer Author, Lish McBride by Jarad Johnson During the hectic week of final exams, it’s always nice to have a distraction, which is exactly why I picked this book up. It’s an all-engrossing, fast-paced urban fantasy that contains: a zombie panda, witches, werewolves, a dragon-cat, an evil necromancer AND feisty ghosts. This particular ghost also happens to love waffles, but who can blame them? And, while I really enjoyed the book, there is just no way to sum all that up in a succinct sentence. It also may seem like a lot of things going on at once in a rather average-sized book, but somehow it all works, and makes sense within the story.
