Frannie Lindsey won the 2006 Perugia Press Award for her second poetry volume, LAMB. It was also the runner-up for the James Laughlin Award from the Academy of American Poets. Lindsey’s poems take up the themes of trauma and healing. Ellen Bass, author of The Courage to Heal, writes:
“Frannie Lindsay’s poems about abuse, trauma, and healing transcend their subjects. They are, instead, hymns of praise for the love we are able to wrest from our flawed lives. The delicacy of Lamb is like that of a ballet dancer — underlaid with great strength.â€
Host Francesca Rheannon talks with Lindsey about her work and how poetry can bring a measure of grace to knit up the wounds of the past. |

Indian Orchard Exhibits/Events
| Gallery 137 Presents Retrospective: Berenice Michelow |
 |
Artist: Berenice Michelow
Event: Retrospective
Start Date: Saturday May 31st, 2008
End Date: Thursday July 3rd, 2008
Location Name: Gallery 137
Address: 137 Main Street
City, ST: Indian Orchard, MA

Berenice Michelow is an accomplished artist renowned for her dramatic works and sensitive portrayals. Michelow's emigration to the United States from her native South Africa in 2004 marked the beginning of the third phase in her career. The first featured her "protest" paintings, symbolic representations of Apartheid's injustice. Works of the second phase were responses to the new South Africa's evolving democracy. Her current phase features impressions of her adopted homeland and its "overwhelming patriotism."
Whether working on canvas or paper, with oils or pastels, in charcoal or 3D UV, Michelow's technical mastery is self-evident, often evincing itself in an unfolding of photographic realism played out in the midst of otherworldly abstraction. Michelow has enjoyed decades of commercial success. In 1979 she represented South Africa at the International Biennale in Valparaiso, Chile. To date she has had 27 private shows worldwide, and her work is held in such high-profile collections as that of the Chase Manhattan Bank in New York City. |

Southampton Exhibits/Events
| Extraordinary Photo Exhibit By Accomplished Valley Photographer... |
 |
Artist: Donald David
Event: California Dreamin Photo Exhibit
Start Date: Sunday June 1st, 2008
End Date: Sunday June 29th, 2008
Location Name: Robert Floyd Photo Gallery and Learning Center
Address: 2 East Street @ College Highway (Rt. 10)
City, ST: Southampton, MA
Website: www.robertfloydphoto.com
Fee: FREE. Resfreshments served. |
The Gallery hosts a collection of top shelf nature color photographs created mostly in California. Far from the stereotypical California scenes, these brilliant photos capture and convey strong colors and breathtaking vistas, as well, as close-ups and wildlife images. The photographer, Don David, continues to separate himself from most new England photographers with new work, challenging himself to capture what he sees and feels. "California Dreamin" is a rare must see exhibit. The images are refreshingly different and unique.
As a former Polymer Scientist/Engineer, Don continued his interest in photography. Since he had the opportunity to travel widely, he created substantial travel and landscape photography but presently, Don's main interest is nature and wildlife photography.
Whether his subjects are nature, landscape, or wildlife, Mr. David attempts to portray them as faithfully as he sees the original image, with only the necessary modifications to bring out the natural beauty of the image. All wildlife is photographed in its natural habitat with no artificial setups or lighting. Don attempts to present images that may not ordinarily be observed so that the viewer can discover something new for herself/himself and thus appreciate a unique moment of the beauty in the world around us. Don David's photographs have been recognized with a number of awards.
The Gallery continues to ship any image(s) you purchase, F-R-E-E, to any town /city in the continental USA! |

At 1:00 PM every Tuesday, on WXOJ LP, 103.3 (Valley Free Radio), Lit103.3 airs the reading of one or two short stories. If a story is selected for airing it will also be available in print and podcast form on the show's website at http://www.lit1033.com. Each show consists of one or two stories with a total word count of 6,000-9,000 words.
If you would like to submit a story for consideration, email it to lit103.3@comcast.net. DO NOT SEND IT AS AN ATTACHMENT, rather,include it in the body of your email, together with any biographical or other relevant information you'd like read before/after the broadcast.
Because the reading is over the public airwaves FCC guidelines apply. Like Norman Mailer in The Naked and the Dead, the reader can fug around with words to a certain extent, but if the overall sexual content is too explicit it won't work. The explicit original story will be available on the website.

Lightroom is the new image processing and cataloging program made exclusively for photographers by the geniuses behind Photoshop. In this class we will learn how to precisely edit image files fast - as much as 4 times faster than in Photoshop. Along the way we will learn what characteristics distinguish a great image from a photography professional with over 25 years experience. Highlights from the class include:
* How to use the powerful cataloging feature for keeping track of our images.
* How to streamline our work flow, from importing images from our camera to exportation to print and/or the web.
* How to make powerful corrections to color and exposure.

| Beginning with an introduction to fundamental color theory, we will explore the monoprinting techniques that that do not require a press: transfer drawing, offset rolling and easy methods for registering plates. We are interested in the quality of the printed line that you will be able to create in your home without a press. We have a beautiful studio that will allow for working on the press too- with stencils, subtractive techniques, and layering color with waterbased printing inks. These three days will be guided by plenty of demonstrations and lots of free time to develop and move your images into beautiful related series or prints. This could serve as an introduction to printmaking, or as a way to discover ways to print away from the press, or as a vacation from thought to connect with the spontaneous nature of monoprinting. |

| This workshop is a great way to learn all the basics and nuances of "non-toxic" etching. Through the use of many acrylic resist methods participants will become familiar with a variety of contemporary etching techniques. This workshop will feature the multi-plate method of building a full range of values up to an extreme black using etching processes. Participants will begin with a series of soft ground etches on copper to start developing an image. The image will then be transferred to a second plate and both plates will be treated with aquatint. After reworking each plate with burnishing and scraping the first 'linear' plate will continue to be developed with line and soft ground, while the second 'tonal' plate will receive more aquatint. Both plates will be printed in black and add up to a rich full black and a full range of grays. |
