The typesetter's mouth - from David Stafford

Another great story by David. I am so used to him coming up with the greatest tales and fictive characters that I'm not sure anymore... this is a true story, right? David REALLY used to typeset the haiku journal Frogpond for Elizabeth and Bruce Lamb, and inserted his own work from time to time?! Help me out here, I'm only a gullible Cherry…

Women of Yamal - from Natalya Korolkova

This is my very first mail from Russia, and it is sent by Natalya Korolkova (aka Ntk at IUOMA). Yamal is a peninsula of North Siberia, and in the language of its indigenous inhabitants, the Nenets, it means "End of the World". I can't even begin to imagine how cold it is up there, and what kind of life it is to travel the roads with reindeer all year…

Received from Cheryl Penn, South Africa--No He Did Not

Two perspectives of the same planet: winter in South Africa and spring here in Minnesota. Cheryl does a great job with the paint, line, and text. Of course, my heart always throws me an extra beat when I see those fish stamps on the envelope in my mailbox:…

Thom Courcelle's Playful Horses

How glorious the world is in springtime! Enhanced by romping horses of Thom Courcelle. How dear are the horses' manes so thick and so lush. Where are they going? Is the one with the Persian carpet on its back a magic horse? Thank you Thom!

Roland Halbritter's Angelic Collage with Surveillance Camera!

I received this pretty printed postcard from Roland last week. Roland, right now, seems like a mystery artist to me because there is no return address on this MA, and he doesn't appear to be a member of IUOMA. Roland? Are you out there? I appreciate the mirror effect and feel slightly frightened by what appears to be a hooded figure behind the stamp of the surveillance camera.… Continue

Vessel of (Dis)honor - from Cheryl Penn

 

Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? -



This is part of a painting (oil painting I think) Cheryl was working on, which she cut up and then repainted on. Beautifully earthly and homely and clay..ly (sorry for the horrible word, you know what I mean, something…
