by Allison Malafronte
A visit to the East Harlem shared studio of Michael Klein and Joshua LaRock revealed the current work on the artists’ easels and some of the thoughts and plans on their minds.    On a recent summer morning in mid-August, I travelled to East Harlem in New...

by David Masello
I have attended enough summer writing workshops, most of them hosted by universities eager to fill their empty dorm rooms off-season, to recognize traits among my fellow students. I recently completed a weeklong poetry course in Taos, sponsored by the...

Douglas Cooper: Picturing the City
by Gail Leggio
Bridges, perhaps the most graceful and unobtrusive structures in the built environment, have long been favored by cityscape artists. James Abbott McNeill Whistler uses a venerable span across the Thames in Nocturne: Blue and Gold—Old Battersea Bridge (c...

The Write Place: Understanding the prose and poetry of the annual Sewanee Writers' Conference
by David Masello
The two professors enter the classroom and sit at opposite ends of the long conference table. One of them, William Logan, the distinguished and notoriously provocative poetry critic (and poet), raises his chair to its highest point, not because he is...

Into the Woods: Santiago Cal’s sculptures reveal histories, personal and global
by David Masello
The basswood trees from which Santiago Cal carves his sculptures usually have about the same number of rings as he. Upon turning forty years old in 2013, which would translate to forty rings on one of his basswood trees, Cal decided to embark on a series...
