My Thanks to Jody for Featuring Me

I would like to thank Jody at www.mystateart.com for featuring me in her blog, My State Art.  Her blog highlights people from various aspects of the artistic life–writers, poets, artists, musicians.  Her goal is to “celebrate the independent artist.”  The blog, only six months old, is an interesting read if you enjoy “meeting” the people behind the kinds of artistic works you enjoy.  The articles are short but give a nice overview of the people she has interviewed.

Try it.  You might like it.

 

 

 

Goodbye, Maya

I’m going to miss Maya Angelou.  I admired her as a poet–may some of my poems be as deeply human as hers some day–as well as a person who put her early life’s adversities and injustices into a personal force to fight such inhumanity aimed towards others.  She was Woman at Womanhood’s best.
