We have a new committee member: Shelly Harder. Shelly will be taking a huge load off Organizer Stan`s shoulders, doing much of the open mic`s internet and computer work. Her youthful computer fingers move as fast as her flying mind, so what takes Stan`s trembling, arthritic digits hours to accomplish she will do in a snap. And she writes! And is a fine poet! (Stay tuned for Shelly`s blog.)
And so the open mic becomes ever more solid and stable.
Shelly`s bio: I'm a twenty-something student of English literature and philosophy. When not occupied with one too many essays, I (try to) write fiction and poetry. I adore Virginia Woolf, am permanently inhabited by T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land, and feast on the works of Donne and Milton. I am, however, most entranced by the works of the great Romantic poets: Blake, Shelley, Coleridge, Keats. Immersed in such an illustrious tradition, I wonder each time I write how words I string together could say anything that has not been said better before. Still the inexorable drive to partake in this vast universe of word sends me scrawling, typing, tossing fragile scribbles into a plenitudinous void. And when not reading or writing, I may be found playing piano or taking a long walk. A final word: Beethoven renders all words void.
Stan: ``Yippee!!!``
