help direct the irsh government


help direct the irsh government
I don’t think the country is lead by evil men. Rather it is being lead by men without direction. It is up to the citizens, to provide them with clear direction – otherwise they will continue to flounder chasing this whim or that as dictated by EU, bankers, other countries; none of which will have the best interests of the Irish citizen at heart. Please copy and ask people to support a change in direction by signing the new proclamation as given below. You may return to me at pd Lyons Tonashammer, Hilltown,Castlepollard Westmeath. I will submit as document to news editors, politicians, radio, tv, etc. and have it read into the official Dail records. At least we can make the statement. The more names the more impact.

Thank you for taking the time to read and to act.
all the best

The Provisional Government of the Irish Republic

We declare the right of the people of Ireland to the ownership of Ireland, and to the unfettered control of Irish destinies, to be sovereign and indefeasible. The long usurpation of that right by a foreign people and government has not extinguished the right, nor can it ever be extinguished except by the destruction of the Irish people. In every generation the Irish people have asserted their right to national freedom and sovereignty: six times during the past three hundred years they have asserted it in arms.Standing on that fundamental right and again asserting it in arms in the face of the world, we hereby proclaim the Irish Republic as a Sovereign Independent State, and we pledge our lives and the lives of our comrades-in-arms to the cause of its freedom, of its welfare, and its exaltation among the nations.

Had A Dream About Clint Eastwood

we were doing something with horses

not riding or roping

just putting our hands on them

feeling the sunlight through them

and smiling

High school beauty
eyes so deep
rob my breath

Tall long lean
able to stand
hours in the rain

Forty years later
recognizing ghosts
almost say hello

realize

The First Principle

“You talked about the first principle again, but I still don’t know

what it is,” I said to Suzuki. “I don’t know,” he said, “is the first

principle.” –Shunru Suzuki

Re: poets


 

 

Those masterful images because complete
Grew in pure mind, but out of what began?
A mound of refuse or the sweepings of a street,
Old kettles, old bottles, and a broken can,
Old iron, old bones, old rags, that raving slut
Who keeps the till. Now that my ladder’s gone,
I must lie down where all the ladders start
In the foul rag and bone shop of the heart. —

Fresh Ink” Writer’s Conference from the Waterbury Observer newspaper

Fresh Ink, NVCC’s literary magazine, will host the Fresh Ink Writer’s Conference on Fri., April 19 from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. in the Ruth Ann Leever Atrium at NVCC, 750 Chase Parkway in Waterbury.

Professional and studying literary enthusiasts are invited to share their works and learn from local professionals at the all-day conference, which will include breakout sessions on fact-to-fiction writing, poetry, editing/publishing and writing for a niche audience hosted by area experts. It will also include the announcement of this year’s Fresh Ink submission winners, readings by local writers, book signings, networking and an open mic.

Registration for the free event is requested. Contact Greg Harding at freshink@nvcc.commnet.edu or calling 203-596-8763 to reserve a seat.

Everett Hoagland, published poet and scholar, will keynote the event. Hoagland’s works have received two Massachusetts Artists Foundation grants for poetry and the Gwendolyn Brooks Award. Hoagland was inducted into the International Literary Hall Of Fame for Writers of African Descent in Chicago in 2009.

Breakout sessions include:

Fact into Fiction: Steve Parlato, NVCC professor and author of the young adult novel The Namesake ( Merit Press Books) will lead a workshop in writing fiction for young adults. The focus will be on incorporating the detail of real life–places, people, events–into the creation of rich and compelling prose, grounded in specificity.

Lyric Poetry Workshop: This workshop will incorporate aspects of a seminar on poetry with model poems furnished at the start of the class. The workshop will also ask participants to conduct in-class writing exercises and comment on one another’s work. Participants are urged to send poems or writing of a poetic nature ahead of time to Sam Witt, author of two poetry collections and assistant professor of English at Framingham State University.

Editing for Publication: This interactive hands-on workshop will focus on techniques any writer can utilize to prepare a variety of texts—articles, essays, editorials, interviews, profiles, online entries and more—for submission to an editor, for general consideration, or for final publication. Participants will be encouraged to share their own drafts to be edited “live” alongside work samples to be provided. Facilitator and NVCC Professor Juleyka Lantigua-Williams is a newspaper, magazine, and book editor with over a decade of experience in all aspects of print publishing.

Writing for a niche audience:  Taught by Kandice Whitaker-Taylor, a freelance writer, poet and native New Yorker.
