Jack Spicer

3o January, 1925 - 17 August, 1965. The Collected Books of Jack Spicer, "The Practice of Outside", an essay by Robin Blaser - "At first this was short and simple - about Jack. But that became a reduction which every twist and turn of the work denied - a biography without the world poet earned or a split between the man and the work which drank him up and left him behind."

The Changing Face of Childhood

Dulwich Picture Gallery - "The writing of John Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau and painters such as Gainsborough and Thomas Lawrence, changed the perception of childhood forever. They were portrayed as individuals in their own right and not just little grown-ups. These videos, presented by Ian Dejardin, Director of Dulwich Picture Gallery, chart the change in portraiture of children during this important time in history."

If the vast majority of the world's scientists are right, we have just ten years to avert a major catastrophe that could send our entire planet into a tail-spin of epic destruction involving extreme weather, floods, droughts, epidemics and killer heat waves beyond anything we have ever experienced."

Robert Ferrandini

Gallery NAGA - "Robert Ferrandini is one of the most admired painters working in New England. For over twenty-five years he has been celebrates for his haunted and glorious landscapes, which incorporate imagers culled from art history, film, literature, and popular culture. ... Since a 2001 stroke that depived him of the use of his right hand, Ferrandini has painted with his left hand, primarily in watercolor, producing increasingly complex works, unpopulated invented landscapes and seascapes suffused with broad ranges of color, exuberant mark making, and a rapturous glorying in visual phenomena."
