Walt Whitman...In Paths Untrodden! Calamus & LBGT cultural exhibit! San Francisco Library!



Skylight Gallery @ San Francisco Library

Walt Whitman has always been a beloved poet who impacted many lives over the decades he strode this mortal coil penning poetry and prose.

Now, on the 150th anniversary of the 1st publication of Whitman's - "homo-affectional" poem titled "Calamus" - the San Francisco Main Library staff have installed a thought-provoking tribute to the man.

"This exhibition articulates the place and importance of "Calamus" in LGBT culture and draws a connection between the poems and the creation of the modern LGBT community (with an emphasis on the Radical Fairie Movement)," according to the curators.

With the discerning artful use of text, photos, antiquarian books and newspapers - the exhibit seeks to fathom up Whitman’s vision of the “love of comrades” - and the social and political role he saw it playing in that larger project (the creation of America).

The Moment...prose by Julian Ayrs

Don't look ahead

Look around.

Don't pine for the moments

where you are no longer

or
for where you wish to be

Don't look ahead

Look around.

And savor this moment

this precious moment

take all for what you will

and all will prosper

How wonderful to remember

or to wish

these are dreams and fantasies

And, they are fun and good.

But, do not fall prey to standing

still.
Progress,
And, embrace a full life

As destiny is unfolding

make the most of it

And,
 the pleasures of remembering

will be greater

People...Inspirational prose!

People, in deed and action

However, big or small

We're only people

That's all.

Inspired by a moment

when all is said and done

In times of anger and in times of joy

Some people reaching

to attain new awareness

Others, falling short, but in all fairness

What is life for

But to live and to learn?

Through each day's passing events

We'll all have a turn

To improve ourselves

And, with enlighted eyes, hopefully see

All that there is

And all that was meant to be

And, if not, perchance

Time and its passage

may prove to some

to you and to I to each and to everyone

That we're only people

However big or small

learning to live with each other

with compassion and understanding

and with Love and forgiveness

most of all

Twiggy, Mods & Rockers, and old London town!

Oh, I how I yearn for Twiggy

mods and rockers

And, the innocent charm of an era

fondly relegated

to dusty memories

 Sacred now

in the inner recesses

of my gleaming

mind!

The Fallen One...inspirational quote!

Whenever there is a natural catastrophe

And, a precious loss of life
The normally-faithful turn their eyes heavenward
as they wonder aloud to their loved ones

What kind of God must he be?

Never considering for one moment
that it may be the wrath of the fallen one
wrecking the havoc
on the Lord's chosen ones

Angel's Flight...

I pray that one starry night
when the thoughts in my head are stilled
And, the passion in my heart is quelled
Under a ripe old harvest moon
A messenger from on high
anoint my spirit with eternal healing light
that my soul may be lifted up
And, take Angel's flight

Greater Los Angeles Writer's Society...Beyond the Draft panel discussion. October 18th!.

Calling all writers!

Professional editors and writers from the Greater Los Angeles Writer's Society are holding a panel discussion on Saturday October 18th which is open to all writers and the general public.

"Beyond the Draft (The Final Art of Editing a Novel)" will be a focus on how to turn a writer's rough draft into a masterpiece worthy of publishing.

"Every writer knows the first draft of anything from a short story to an epic novel needs polishing," one panelist noted in the teaser which arrived by e-mail this past week.

Is the whole process "part luck" and "part Voodoo"?

Find out for yourself.

The program commences at 3 p.m.

The Greater Los Angeles Writers Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to mentoring writers on all levels in the craft of writing, providing continuing education, and a forum for the marketing of their work.

This mission is in concert with the California Writers Club founded in 1909 by Jack London.

The "greater" refers to the general geographic area where most of the members are located - and not to any claims of "grandness" - their promo for the event joked.

In fact, the association not only welcomes writers from all over Southern California, but all kinds of 'em as well.

They extend their reach from aspiring students to best-selling authors, from industry professionals, to a dabbler in the throes of learning their craft.

Their motto is a simple straightforward one.

"Writers mentoring writers of all disciplines."

GLAWS holds monthly informative meetings - and on occasion - Nationally-known guest speakers turn up to share their expertise.

But, the association also manages critique groups, offers advice in the craft and business of writing, conducts special events (including writers conferences and seminars), and promotes its vision through many business and social opportunities.

General Meetings of the Greater Los Angeles Writer Society are typically held the third Saturday of the month, ten times a year, except during December and August or July when the society holds a picnic or party.

General meetings are held at the Palms-Rancho Park Library in the Ray Bradbury Room.
