I just wanted to tell you that I have an excuse
for having all these different areas. You see when I began
teaching kids with behavior and educational challenges I had none
of these talents. I soon learned it was not enough to educate
my students, they needed to be transformed in many ways; how they
relate to themselves, education, peers, parents, society. I developed
these artistic tools-or talents as I attempted to find keys into
the hearts and minds of each of my students. As I became
better at teaching these areas--I became better myself.
I am a total advocate of the purposeful use of art, music and artistic
activities to reach not only challenged students, but all students. I
promise you that the results--have been, are and will be spectacular.
Meanwhile, my own life has become fuller and funner. Should
an educator use such a word as funner? I don't think so. I
might have to go back to school.

Gorgeous work from Penelope Torribio.
Finally, poets get to look mysterious and sexy! (We ARE mysterious
and sexy but one can't always tell by looking.) For those of you
wondering, 'Whaa....?' This is the opening night of the 25? event
series "Night and the City: L.A. Noir" presented by The
Los Angeles Poetry Festival with Beyond Baroque Literary Arts Center.
As of this date, 10/17/11, twenty four more events will be coming
up, through Nov. 13.

Night in the? City? I'll say! La Noir on
the rise... Wow! Ar you hip to how many distinguished poets inhabit
this video? Robert Polito and Suzzanne Lummis (who masterminded
the entire 25 event NoirFest) being chief among them. What an evening!
Song, luscious language, film...an extremely NOIR time was had
by all! Fedoras off to Penelope Torribio for a truly swell document
of the festivities.

What a fantastic photo essay! Love the characters;
love the black & white. It’s elegant, edgy, dreamy--all
the best facets? of literary noir. Night and the City, was lucky
to have Penelope Torribio as videographer! Brava! Happily, there
are many more noir events coming up in the next few weeks. Hopefully,
Penelope will be on hand to record them. It’s all so noir,
so fun, so addictive!
