The Case for Beauty

  "We live only to discover beauty. All else is a form of waiting."   

Khalil Gibran

Clue Number Two

 

I made a promise to provide hints about an upcoming poetry collection. My photo capture of a plaque on the sidewalk of Library Way in New York City is the second clue. (If you missed the first one, it's the post dated August 29.) 

"If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people" is a quote by the writer Virginia Woolf. Intrigued?

Cheers,

Charise

"Art in an Age of Uncertainty"

Among the many cancellations due to the pandemic, an annual arts festival in Mathias, West Virginia––where I was scheduled to have a poetry table––has led to an interesting turn of events. 

Joshua Miller, who hosts the event on his property, commissioned a poem on the subject of art in uncertain times. I am indebted to him for inspiring the creation of a poem that has found a literary home at High Shelf Press. 

The photos are from my contributor copy. You can view the entire March issue on their website at: https://www.highshelfpress.com/issuexxviii

To inspire others is such a gift. 

Warm wishes, 
Charise
