These poems and paintings explore people's relationship to nature and the nature of our place in it. Not just any relationship, not just any place, but rooted here along the banks of Warwoman Creek in the North Georgia Mountains, the home of author Laurence Holden.  These poems and paintings offer something special - bringing together for the ear, the eye, and the imagination - the breaching of morning light, the call of the red-tailed hawk, and the dreams that weave through our vision.

Poems and paintings share something important - a concentrated form of paying attention - paying attention to what is! Paintings are still and yet move in our minds, thoughts, and feelings. Poems are always moving in our minds, our thoughts, our feelings, and yet they form pooling echoes of the still and eternal present. Paintings and poems, two sides of one bright coin, tumbling in a great river.

Hat's Off!

 

Hats Off! to Greenville author Tony Brown, who has had three more short stories accepted or published. "The Stone Wall," another piece written during a Marjorie Hudson writing session in Pittsboro, is online at Postcard Shorts. In January his "Poor Mama" was accepted by The Coming Storm print anthology, and "A Bullet For Raoul" has been accepted by Leodegraunce, both online and in its 2012 print anthology.
