My Turn

This is an opportunity for you to write about the arts (visual arts, literary arts, theater, dance, etc.). This might mean an essay on some historical aspect of the arts in our region, or a critical analysis of some aspect of the arts, or the challenges in living a creative life. We encourage those who wish to share their work. This means we'd like to receive excerpts from new books, poetry, commentary on a new series of paintings, a group art project,  utilizing the arts to work with groups such as children....the list is endless.   Email the editor with your ideas.

We aren't exactly copying Louis Armstrong with a jazz combo. And we aren't copying the marimba band model playing world music. Baba Marimba is one of a kind, and we have to recreate ourselves each time we play.   Read more about making music together. HERE>

Judy Ray is the author of several books, include poetry books, chapbooks, and a prose memoir about India. In this essay, she considers "a sense of place." Does one have to be uprooted in order to consider a sense of place? .

A Sunday Morning in New York


Often it's the case that artists respond to the written word. Here we have a poet (and visual artist, too) responding to an image. In this case, the image is a photography by famed photographer Diane Arbus (above), and Judy's poem is titled A Sunday Morning in New York.
