...because I can't wait to tell you there's a new crop of reviews, interviews, poetry, etc. at Chapter 16. Also, I can't resist shamelessly encouraging you to read my article on Alan Lightman and his new book, Song of Two Worlds. If you come to this blog for the poetry, Lightman's work deserves your attention.
The Hermit, Salomon Koninck, 1643

I relished your article, my sister.
I find it oddly comforting that Tennessee has nurtured and contributed so many fascinating folk from all walks of life ;-)
You should come visit, Chaya--this place is lousy with geniuses. You'll fit right in. ;-)
I love Tennessee. Of course I should mention that my father's family settled in Wartrace, near Shelbyville, in the early 19th century and many of them are buried there, up behind the old Walking Horse Inn. I think Chattanooga's visual arts scene is better in many ways than Atlanta's. I haven't been to Nashville lately, but have heard it described as being more and more like LA in the sense of being full of ambitious musicians and the like...true?
I love your writing, Maria.
Well, you oughta come visit, too, Olfacta, you're so close. Nashville has a pretty lively art scene, too. And yes--lots and lots of musicians. It's still very much a Bible Belt city, but the different factions coexist pretty well. A few years ago they put up a sculpture of chaste, frolicking nudes on Music Row and some people were deeply distressed, but the sculpture's still there. That's so Nashville, as the local alt paper says.
Oh, and I forgot to say--Thanks!
