Words of Wisdom

A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.

~Dwight D. Eisenhower, American President (1890-1969)

Words of Wisdom

Writing should be enjoyable rather than a drudgery.

Poetry Reading Marathon

I attended the annual New Year's Day Poetry Reading Marathon at Saint Mark's Church. It was the second year of doing so. I listened to words spoken, sung and acted. I went in the early evening tis time. There was wall to wall people. I stayed for two hours or so.

I love the many creative people that participate. No two poets are alike. There's old, young, ecletic, humorous and all things in between. Maybe someday I will participate.

Words of Wisdom

Taking an interest in what others are thinking and doing is often a much more powerful form of encouragement than praise.

Marathon Benefit Reading

The Poetry Project will host the 36th Annual Marathon Benefit Reading at St. Mark's Church in the East Village. I attended the event last year and enjoyed it. There were over a hundred poets who recited two or three poems each. It was interesting in that I rarely go out New Year's Day. Those of you in the New York City area who want to go out somewhere, check out this event. For more information go to the website www.poetryproject.com.

Words of Wisdom

Writing is more perserverance than it is inspiration.

Bookstore In Cobble Hill

A new website has been added. For people living in the New York City area and Brooklyn in particular. The Book Court (www.bookcourt.org) is a pleasant place located in the Cobble Hill section. Book Court has expanded to include more genres of books and magazines. Now if they only had coffee.

Words of Wisdom

As your faith is strengthened you will find that there is no longer the need to have a sense of control, that things will flow as they will, and that you will flow with them, to your great delight and benefit.


~Emmanuel Teney
