What the Future Holds by Pagi

What the Future Holds I’m singing, dancing, waving to you. I’m singing, dancing, waving to you. first because that is how it is, how it must be. But, will I be here for when you sing, dance, and wave for me sing, dance, and wave for me? Because that is how it is how it should be how it must be. Will you be here for the grand finale? When a musician plays a sad melody behind the velvet curtain as…

A Short History of Rock and Roll by Miriam Sagan

I’m 14 years old, dancing in my dark bedroom in my undies to The Doors. If I hear my parents in the corridor outside I turn the music down. And if Jim Morrison is singing “Whiskey Bar” I turn it all the way down. The song just sounds…so dirty. I don’t want my parents to hear it. 54 years later, the scene in my bedroom is pretty much the same, except my parents are long dead and I moved away after…

Stuff.3: Books by Devon Miller-Duggan

Stuff.3: Books The antique Limoges and Madame Alexander dolls are one sort of thing-you-don’t-know-what-to-do-with. The books are another matter entirely. No matter how resonant a thing is, how much of your history it carries, no necklace or bowl or rug has the layers and layers of the battered copy of the novel you fell in love with in 6th grade and read 12 times (Ivanhoe) or your original…

I have a small house, full of small paintings. I’m going to highlight some of the new ones. This was bought at Folk Art Market with my friend Ana, from the booth that shows a group of painters from Cuba. Ana said: that would make a good book cover. And since I’ve been talking about being old, this seems appropriate as an image to sit on my desk. It also reminds me of the Daughter of Cups in the…

Investigating Failure by Devon Miller-Duggan

Further thoughts on FAILURE I have talked so much and so whiningly about my sense of being a failure that my daughters have forbidden the topic, quite reasonably. I have a couple of books out; a job teaching Creative Writing at a semi-big university; a rich and lovely family life. So the subject of My Failure in Life (I did not become famous…) and in Art is sort of off the table. I am, after all,…

I want to do this…an open call yielded 800+ artists

If I had a space, I’d do this in Santa Fe! From the New York Times Divine Excess on Avenue C With the once-bold Downtown scene replaced by slickness, a democratic open call at a gallery welcomed hundreds of artists desperate for exposure and recognition. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/20/arts/design/oflahertys-gallery-east-village-art-party.html?smid=em-share Jump to Toolbar
