publications, exhibitions and lectures (lions, tigers and bears)

Check out the latest issue of New Letters Magazine! Editor Bob Stewart has served up, as always, a sumptuous collection of poetry, fiction, essays and reviews in Volume 74, Number 4. He features some great photos by Deanna Dikeman on the cover and has sprinkled work by Deanna, Willis Barnstone and yours truly throughout the issue. New Letters is published quarterly by the University of Missouri – Kansas City.

One of my new “Sea Series” pieces will be included in this year's "Urban/Suburban." The annual exhibition/auction benefits the Epsten Gallery at Village Shalom in Overland Park, Kansas. It is a project of the Kansas City Jewish Museum Foundation. The show includes work by nearly 100 KC area artists, including many of my faves like Jane Voorhees, Marcus Cain, Rita Blitt, Peregrine Honig, Linda Lighton, Deanna Dikeman, Shea Gordon, Ellie Kort and Susan White. The work may be previewed at the gallery, 5500 West 123rd Street, until Ocober 24th.

The “Streetcar Series” continues be a work in progress for me, but I did enter one of the pieces in the juried exhibition called “State of the Arts” at the R.G. Endres Gallery in Prairie Village, Kansas. Low and behold, it made its way in and will be included in the show, which opens October 10th. The gallery is in the Prairie Village municipal offices at 7700 Mission Road.

This Thursday I will travel to Columbia, Missouri to be the juror for the annual photography competition “Visions.” The show is sponsored by First National Bank, which has an impressive art collection of its own. I will be giving a talk about my work at the bank on Thursday at 5:45 PM. For those of you who happen to live in Columbia, it would be great if you came by and said hello. The bank is located on the NE corner of Broadway and 8th.

(Oh my!)
