art 4 play: May 2010
http://art4play.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Art heals, art works, art makes happy. Sunday, May 30, 2010. The weather has been spectacular these last few days in Chicago, perfect for a holiday weekend. I am blessed to live in a very wooded area outside the city, surrounded by huge 100 year-old trees, heaven for my spirit. Nature has become as important to me as air. The other day I took a walk and thought, what if I continued my "looking" practice by looking for one great splash of each color in the spectrum? And then there was V:. I hope you've en...

On canonicity, dead white men, and living girls | Floating Poems
https://floatingpoems.wordpress.com/2014/02/03/on-canonicity-dead-white-men-and-living-girls
Poetry, Feminism, and Ladybusiness. On canonicity, dead white men, and living girls. February 3, 2014. Woody Allen. There, made you shiver, didn’t I? I’ve seen a lot of commentary, both public and semi-private, about how you might respond to this if you’re a fan of Allen’s movies. Most of this debate/chatter/whatever centers on the complicity of the audience: if you watch Woody Allen’s movies, are you forgiving him whether you want to or not? I want to be very clear about this: Dylan Farrow, living human...

At the Turquoise Table: December 2013
http://clairemac-attheturquoisetable.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
At the Turquoise Table. Poetry blog by poet Claire M Hasselbeck. Saturday, December 21, 2013. Tis the season to be jolly. The only reason for the existence of this line is that jolly rhymes with holly (forget folly). Christmas is the season when feelings other than jolly can present themselves. In the midst of all the business, the ghosts of. Christmases past often appear in our consciousness. Charles Dickens has written a masterful tale about Christmas and transforma. Let go of Bah Humbug and jolly up.

At the Turquoise Table: June 2014

At the Turquoise Table. Poetry blog by poet Claire M Hasselbeck. Sunday, June 1, 2014. The Poetry of War. Photo by Kathleen Tyler Conklin. How can something as horrific as war be expressed in poetic language? So war inspires poetry or is it that war necessitates poetry. Homer wrote poetically about war and war poetry endures to the present day. Is it one attempt of the survivors to make something heroic out of power lust or simply to make sense out of that which is beyond understanding? Links to this post.

At the Turquoise Table: The Yin and Yang of April
http://clairemac-attheturquoisetable.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-yin-and-yang-of-april.html
At the Turquoise Table. Poetry blog by poet Claire M Hasselbeck. Friday, April 25, 2014. The Yin and Yang of April. April had its mood swings, its ups and downs. It delighted in daily changes of temperature and temperament. It began with April Fools Day and continued to trick us. Were those snowflakes or drifting petals? What to wear today? 8230;a warm jacket or closet dive for summer wear. We need April to remind us of the yin and yang energies that pulse in our bodies and surround us in nature. View my...

Art that’s smarter than its artist | Floating Poems
https://floatingpoems.wordpress.com/2013/12/30/art-thats-smarter-than-its-artist
Poetry, Feminism, and Ladybusiness. Art that’s smarter than its artist. December 30, 2013. Who says I like right angles? These are not my laws, these are not my rules. And I suspect that will always be the case. Ever the astute businessman. It is difficult to accurately assess. The treatment of Randolph’s slaves; however, various records indicate that they were probably well treated for the time. Honest to god, that’s what they say in their cheerful “ about our historical atrocity. He gave them food!
