St.Louis Writer’s Guild Profiles Janet Riehl
This is one of my favorite profiles anyone wrote about me. (St. Louis Writers Guild Newsletter “The Scribe” Fall 2008). Even I learned some things about me! I joined SLWG in 2007 when I moved here, and became a member of distinction in 2008. Hey! The prez lives in the building next door and she’s…

Drumvoices Revue: A Confluence of Literary, Cultural & Vision Arts
The current issue of DRUMVOICES REVUE commemorates the 50th anniversary of the publication of Chinua Achebe’s “Things Fall Apart.” I taught his novel as a Peace Corps teacher in Ghana and Botswana.

Alton Senior High School Poetry Grant: We can do it.
Awhile back I funded an annual program that provided monthly guest presenters to talk to students in the creative writing class at Alton Senior High School.

Amazon’s Democratic Jungle: Case study, Wole Soyinka’s new memoir “You Must Set Forth At Dawn” with 5 Amazon comments, dissassembled
First off, let me say I consider that the reader section on the Amazon book product pages are, for the most part, best termed as “comments” rather than “reviews”—which usually would be rather over-stating the case. Secondly, I am frequently appalled by the casual way in which readers in these comment sections reveal their ignorance,…
As I’ve mentioned before, I really enjoy your colorful art work. If I’m in town when you exhibit at Portfolio, I’ll attend.
Your stunning work deserves a wide audience. I’ll send your post out on Twitter and Facebook. Only wish I could be in St.Louis this August.
Women and Wardrobe: That’s a very impressive collection of work. I love you image called “Flyaway,” especially the way you’ve used negative space, with the female form emerging from that space so nicely rendered. And I also really like “She who dances with stingrays.” Your simple lines and shapes expressing the woman’s movement and connectedness with her piscatorial dance partner, are wonderful surprises. There’s a single line from under the woman’s arm, curling around her body, that suggests either the movement before or maybe the movement to come. You have amazing control of line and form, especially given the medium. Bravo…or “bravado,” as the case may be. Really interesting work, with the subtle taste of you humor, as well. I hope people look very closely and discover how you’re using this medium.
Lively, colorful, sensitive, crazy, mysterious! What a collection! I only wish I could be there to see the show in person.
Thanks, Fran. What a lovely list of adjectives! I’m glad I have writer-friends who also know their art.
Oh, Hal! Thanks for your close reading of the images and your encouragement–as always.
Mes compliments et mes souhaits pour une belle exposition.
