Posted by mamta on Monday, April 22, 2013 (18:09:45)

My first pick for this month is a poem that shows the effect these kind of gruesome acts have on children and adults as well.

The initial write must have been written at a different time, with a different perspective. People evolve with time and experience and so does a poet's thinking.

Posted by fogglethorpe on Tuesday, May 21, 2013 (16:00:00)
I began listening to the John Adams opera, Nixon In China, for the third time … and … well … after listening to Walter Cronkite's introduction again, I stopped shortly after the first scene.

Posted by fogglethorpe on Tuesday, May 21, 2013 (15:00:00)
There wasn’t much Gwendolyn Brooks didn’t write about.
She would say, “I am a writer perhaps because I am not a talker.”
She wrote of war, racism, drug use and love. Anything became the subject of scrutiny from her pen.
