eSUMMER ISSUE: Audacity is Key-Patricia Spears Jones--June/July 2008


Summer cover

 

The heat broke this morning after a storm of noisy violence. Cats were cowering from side of Brooklyn to the other. But we welcome the coolness and the chance to walk about and breathe without gasping. In a way, that is how it feels to contemplate changes in the political order in this country. A chance to walk about with heads held high, with hearts relatively untarnished. It feels good for a change to actually see a contest that really shows two very different ways of looking at and dealing with the challenges, the problems and the ideals that this country has.See the complete column here.

eSPRING ISSUE: Inside a poet's life-Patricia Spears Jones --Feb- Apr 2008


Spring cover

 

I am not a native of New York, so the past 3 decades living here I have had to reconcile cultural New York (how its depicted in film, television and literature) with real New York (what it means to get up five days a week and get on the A Train to go to work). Does the city still energize me, I am not so sure. That could be middle-age. Or it could be the relentless pace that has gripped this city, post-September 11. It is as if we are all running towards some idealized material gain that blanks out the huge wound that will always be in this city, no matter how high the "Freedom Tower."
