Is Harvest time the Right time for Cultural Appropriation? | Patricia Roy

Is Harvest time the Right time for Cultural Appropriation? Sugar Skull] “Mexican Handcrafts and Folk Art” Wikipedia. This past weekend, I was getting together with a friend of mine who is, among other things, a priestess of Wicca and a shamanic practitioner. When I suggested that, on a fine October Sunday, we brave the crowds of Salem, MA, a town whose name is now the eponymous “Witch City,” an audible, uncomfortable pause on the phone told me all I needed to know. So, I would like to give a different fr...

Birds and Rain | Patricia Roy
https://patriciaroy.wordpress.com/2013/06/28/birds-and-rain
Last night and early this morning, a thunderstorm rumbled through and brought some intense downpours. It kept coming in waves, like someone crying. They slow down for a moment, almost stopping, but then they start thinking about the sad thing again and the tears just start all over again, faster and faster, with rumbling moans to add to the pathos. I steeled myself and told myself that at least it wouldn’t be cold. As I passed the engineering building, a person — with an umbrella — actually s...I didn...

Poems of the Day | Patricia Roy
https://patriciaroy.wordpress.com/2015/04/05/poems-of-the-day
Poems of the Day. I gave myself the somewhat daunting task of writing a poem every day. For some, this is nothing; they write everyday religiously, devoutly, solemnly. Me? I am a wayward soul. I write when I feel like it and don’t when I don’t. Among poets, I am a sinner. I’ve put no boundaries on myself for content, length, or quality. A haiku counts just as much as a crappy poem or a good, longish one. Is Harvest time the Right time for Cultural Appropriation? April 5, 2015 at 9:41 pm. You are commenti...

NEMLA 2013 Conference, 5: Teaching and Thoreau. 8220;Metaphysical Dirt: Teaching Thoreau Outside”. From The Poetry Foundation. This was the last panel I went to on Sunday morning. It was a beautiful day, and I drove into the theater district unhindered by the usual storm of traffic and business of the work week. Sundays are a day for Thoreau. On Sunday mornings, it’s quiet enough that even in the city you can hear the birds as they get their breakfast. Eustis conducts an outdoor leadership training cours...

Creative Writing | Patricia Roy
https://patriciaroy.wordpress.com/creative-writing
This is what a hickory looks like when it’s dancing. Dervish of the Pig-Nut Hickory. Up the trail that curves behind like a spine,. Dance the pig-nut hickories. There, the hill opens up,. Curtains of summer leaves pulled back. Only the solemn oaks and. Ancient hickories stand with grace;. All others tumble down the rock stair,. The dancers stand motionless, for winter is. The moment before the season of sound,. And dance is a delightful motion. Punctuated by a cold pause. The straight spines reach. Eithe...
