Comment on NC Arts Council to Host Public Meeting Near You by Cheryl

The idea of holding meetings in different parts of NC is great, but some of the locations are too far away. I live in northeastern NC, about 60 miles west of Elizabeth City. I could not find anyone who could attend last night’s meeting with me. Will the Arts Council hold meetings in any other parts of the state later this summer or in the fall? I think some folks here in Hertford County would be interested, if it could be held here.

I am hosting a writers group in Macon County called The Wordsmiths of Macon. We meet every other month at my writers cottage in Franklin. The next meeting will be Great Oak Drive at six o’clock. A small organic meal will be served and we want to write about the local fruit stands in Macon County. Please help us get these poems and essays published. The people are eager to hear about good things happening in their neighborhood. The local organized groups have been negative to us as we wanted to sponsor a poetry contest about the Celtic peoples at the Tartan Festival but they complained of no money for prizes. I then offered to do it if they would at least get the poems published in the local papers, but no dice….Shirley Marie Cole

These meetings are no where near our area. Perhaps one more meeting in the far western part of the state?

I’m looking for advice on how to find an agent or a publisher for my biographer on one of the first black quarterbacks in college football. He left segregated North Carolina to play at Michigan State in the 1960s.

Comment on A Poem to Honor Our Veterans, by Joseph Bathanti by Anna Weaver

As a veteran (and aspiring poet), I enjoyed this very much. Reminds me of all the hub-bub about the red cockaded woodpecker on Ft. Bragg in the 1990s, an endangered population I gather they managed successfully over time (see http://www.army.mil/article/37653/fort-braggs-award-is-for-the-birds/). I can only imagine what the artillerymen have to say about this one.

Good choice for keynote speaker. I’ve read the book and liked it very much. Ann Patchett pegged it well in her statement.

Comment on The Cost and True Value of the Arts in North Carolina by Denise Petrey

Denise Petrey — Wed, 26 Sep 2012 23:27:56 +0000

Studying the arts is more than creating art, whatever its form. The expansion of mind required by art-making is relative to more creative thinking, greater diversity, and wholeness of left/right brain function. To deprive rising generations of this crucial exploration and processes is to deprive society of the maximized and compassionate leaders desperately needed in our growing, struggling world.
