Hi everyone...

I am working on a new project which is a 'directory' of the visual artists in
Los Angeles...

everyone will be able to refer to this list at:

show, shopping or just curious as to who does what.

this list will not be elaborate, no pictures will be posted, no long bios
will be listed, just the main details along the lines of this example:

Name: Julie Rasmussen
Style(s): Contemporary Paintings, Mixed Media

THE 6TH ANNUAL POETRY SUPER HIGHWAY GREAT POETRY EXCHANGE

The mission of the Poetry Super Highway is to expose as many people to as many other people's poetry as possible.

WHAT?

In February 2007, the Poetry Super Highway will coordinate a great free exchange of poetry publications amongst poets worldwide.

It's not a contest. There are no judges, entry fees, winners, or losers.

Last year, 137 poets participated both sending their book and receiving another poet's book from a randomly selected other participant.

By agreeing to participate, someone will be exposed to your poetry, and you will be exposed to someone else's poetry.

Lighting Candles

I wish you peace.
I wish you love.
I wish you time to
explore your essence.
I wish you safety.
I wish you patience.
I wish you visions,
sweet dreams and
sweeter days.
I wish the world
a sweeter disposition.
I wish for peace,
for love,
for better times.
I wish we all get
the wishes we yearn for.
I thrice charge these wishes
and send them to you.
