Glimpse of Solace: Flo W. Rider

02/12/2014 By Ellen Beals Leave a Comment

Flo W. Rider was born in France in the 1970s and is a self-taught image maker, who writes, “I feel influenced by so many kinds of images that I really like to kind of give back many kinds of images in return. I'm working on a new series you might like entitled The Rorschach trees series, just started to put it on Behance for now." You can also view the work of Flo on Tumblr.  Thanks to Flo W. Rider for sharing her work here.           … [Read more...]

The fourth day into February and it looks a lot like its January predecessors. The forecast is for more snow. Already some one from an event tomorrow is wondering whether it will be a snow day, maybe counting on it. Today’s Guest Blog is by Daniel Cleary. I was taken with his poem “More Snow” – he posted it on FB a couple of days ago.  I don’t usually go for rhymed poetry unless it is subtle and natural, and I think this poem is. In the comments section of his post, Daniel … [Read more...]

Guest Blog: Daniel Cleary “More Snow”

More Snow The snow, the snow, the silent snow Comes down & piles up all around In seamless drifts & (as we go) Covers up every inch of ground.

Softly alighting here & there It drapes the trees in lacy shawls Till all that’s left for miles to view Are pallid prospects, greying skies & scenes of such a nameless hue They act like anodyne on the eyes. Grey interwoven into … [Read more...]

Deep freeze

This week the weather is miserably cold in Chicago. Schools and businesses are closed. Anyone who can hibernate is hibernating. I am happy to feature photographs by a new contributor: Kevin Nance. If you recognize his name, it may be because you read his reviews in the Chicago Tribune, or his contributions to Poets & Writers and other publications. That's how I knew him. But then through posts on FB and Linked-in, I saw his photographs and admired them.  Now I follow … [Read more...]
