Art is never still, it moves, with an almost restless intensity, from one moment of inspiration to the next. It takes many forms and each form enriches the other. I am so pleased to offer you art inspired by, and art that inspires, poetry. From music, to dance, to rap, to humor, to visual art, all art forms are related, one to the other; sustaining one another, validating one another and perhaps, most importantly, inspiring one another. I am excited and truly honored to be presenting these guest artists, as they share their talents and artistic forms of expression with us.

to be part of everything
before we die…”

the comforting embrace
of poetry the safest place
I know to go…” – SAK
“You can shame me name me ugly things watch me cry…”
Susan A. Katz
“…but nothing that you say or do
will ever change the fact that you
are just like me and I
am just like you…” – SAK
“The poem cannot be written the truth of self be heard…”
Susan A. Katz

like the endless tides
it lasts forevermore…” – SAK
