I'm So Confused

What the heck? I don't know how it happened that I had one full, lovely picture of Walter Cronkite, then it disappeared, then I found another and now I have not one, but two, half pictures of the man. Sorry to you, the readers, for this. It is as weird as the Declaration of Independence link that you have to click on but I can see the full pic. I am just not that technologically advanced and will have to keep to my own photos. Please don't give up on me. hahahaha

Georgia,
You could try adjusting the size of the photo, either by making it smaller on the blog, or by making it smaller using Preview on your desktop (under tools). These blogs are touchy, and they only have so much space. I've had to adjust line breaks on poems to get them to look,and to read, the way I want them to.

"Our Difficult Sunlight" is available at amazon.com, powells.com, & barnesandnoble.com.

"I dove into "Our Difficult Sunlight" as a colleague, eager to exercise in the refreshing intelligence and heart of Popoff and Lansana - hoping to discover new teaching approaches, new tools to open up literacy and redress cultural inequity, renewed excitement about the power of art. I got all that and more in the generous, abundant, fierce gifts that fill every page. However, I completed my first swim through their sea renewed as an artist myself, eager to apply my own hand and voice to the fundamental act of making things that matter. After a career spent in developing the field of teaching artistry, I found myself humbled and honored to be considered a colleague of teaching artists who bring mastery of artistic and learning processes together in such a beautiful and effective way." - Eric Booth, author of "The Music Teaching Artist's Bible" and "The Everyday Work of Art," and International Arts Learning Consultant

This Is What I Am Currently Reading...

To Show and To Tell, Phillip Lopate, waxing deeply on all matters of the essay form.

Other recent books:

Juliet, Naked, Nick Hornby investigates idol worship and the flaws of relationship with his usual sardonic humor.

Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention, Manning Marable's dense and copious work, the last of his life, also nominated for an NAACP Image Award.

Ready Player One, Ernest Cline's first novel in which he peers into the virtual reality of 2045, yet full of 80s memorabilia.

Vocabulary of Silence, a stunning book of poetry by Veronica Golos.

Just Kids, Patti Smith's poignant and tender memoir of her life as a young artist, and the love between her and Robert Mapplethorpe.

The Bad Secret, Judith Harris' collection of poems is a quiet, constrained triumph of healing.

We Got Here, Wendy Mnookin's first collection from BOA, the poems of fear, surrender, and triumph as the mother of a heroin addict.

Blue Front, Martha Collins' astounding and very significant book-length poem that investigates racism in America, through the circumstance of an appalling lynching in Cairo, OH, in the early 20th century.

For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide when the Rainbow Is Enuf, Ntozake Shange's timeless investigation of the dreams, pains, fears, and successes of young women of color. Sadly and gloriously still highly relevant.
