Thom Francis remembers Hudson Valley poet, host, and educator Robert Milby, who passed away in December 2024, with his reading at the 15th Anniversary of the Mudd Poets open mic series in New Paltz on June 16, 2018. Born and raised in Florida, New York, Robert began sharing his poetry publicly in March 1995. Over nearly three decades, he performed at more than 1,500 readings, captivating audiences across the Hudson Valley, New York City, Long Island, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New England. Robert's poetry appeared in respected publications such as Chronogram and Home Planet News, as well as in anthologies like Will Work for Peace and Calling All Poets: CAPs Voices. His collections, including Ophelia's Offspring and Victorian House: Ghosts and Gothic Poems, reveal his mastery of language and his deep connection to the spiritual and the gothic. In May 2017, Robert was appointed Poet Laureate of Orange County, New York, a role in which he championed poetry's power to connect communities. His chapbook Gothic, Orange reflected his appreciation for the region's unique character. Robert's performances were unforgettable, often blending poetry with music. His collaborations with Carl Welden in “Theremin Ghosts!” brought poetry to life in a haunting and innovative way. This unique duo became a seasonal favorite during October, adding to the mystique of Robert's gothic-themed work. By his own reckoning, Robert Milby was a featured reader over 450 times in his 30 year career as the "Hudson Valley's hardest working poet." He hosted over 30 poetry open mic series in that time. Robert Milby's legacy will continue to inspire poets and writers throughout the Hudson Valley and beyond. He leaves behind a body of work that speaks to the human experience with grace, passion, and honesty. There will be a memorial celebration and open mic at Elting Memorial Library, 93 Main Street, New Paltz NY, on January 19, 2025 from 1 to 5:00pm. Bring five minutes of material to perform, either one of Robert's own poems, a poem of your own written in his honor, or a poem by one of his favorite poets.

To her delight, co-founder and director Bob George agreed to an on-site interview. Mr. George discusses how he got his start in the music industry, how the ARChive came to be, and how it ended up in a former piggery in Staatsburg owned by hotelier Andre Balazs. He also discusses the challenges the ARChive is currently facing, including their search for a new home. The good news is that they hope to stay in the area if they can find a location and there are plans to grow the ARChive into something the public can enjoy with spaces for conferences, live music, deejaying, dance, and more. Please check out the ARChive of Contemporary Music website and learn how you can support them here.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREEDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Broadcast originally aired on Monday, September 16, 2024 at 9:30 am, on WRCR Radio 1700AMWe turned our attention to two notable September events relating to the American Revolution.  First, September 2024 marks the  244th anniversary of the capture, imprisonment and trial of British Major John André for conspiring with General Benedict Arnold. And it's  the 200th anniversary of the Marquis de Lafayette's triumphant farewell visit to America which included a stop here in Rockland County. To commemorate these two events, we looked back to two interviews from past episodes of this program:AJ Schenkman, who spoke about his book Patriots and Spies in Revolutionary New York, which includes the André–Arnold Affair (2021). Seline Castrovilla who discussed her books Revolutionary Rogues: John André and Benedict Arnold and Revolutionary Friends: Washington and Lafayette (2018).  Then,  host Clare Sheridan read an excerpt from the terrific book, Life Along the Hudson,” by Allan Keller.  This excerpt beautifully describes Lafayette's important and historic trip up the Hudson.  AJ Schenkman is the author of several books about local and regional history. He has written for many magazines, blogs and academic journal including numerous articles about Hudson Valley History in Ulster Magazine, the Time Herald Record, Chronogram, and on his website, Ulster County History Journal. He is a teacher in Ulster County and the Historian for the Town of Gardiner. Selene Castrovilla is an award-winning nonfiction and fiction author who is dedicated to uncovering hidden truths about both our nation's history and about ourselves.  Through reflection, we can be our own change.Lafayette Historical Marker: We are pleased to announce the recent unveiling of a Lafayette Trail marker.  The marker was installed in Haverstraw, NY, on Sunday, September 15, 2024, at 10 am ET to commemorate the bicentennial of Lafayette's stop in the Haverstraw Bay on September 15, 1824.200 years ago (09/15/1824), General Lafayette was forced to spend time in Haverstraw Bay due to the grounding of the steamboat "James Kent" on the Oyster Bank.This unfortunate turn of events marked the beginning of the North (Hudson) River segment of Lafayette's Tour and had a significant impact on the rest of Lafayette's day, September 15, 1824. Indeed, originally scheduled to be welcomed at the United States Military Academy at West Point, NY, around 10 AM, Lafayette would only arrive there early in the afternoon because of the delay accumulated near Haverstraw.The Lafayette Trail, Inc. commemorated this historic occasion with the Village of Haverstraw, the Haverstraw Brick Museum,  The County of Rockland, and the William G. Pomeroy Foundation. Together, they (quite literally) marked the historical kickoff of this important segment of the tour! ***Crossroads of Rockland History, a program of the Historical Society of Rockland County, airs on the third Monday of each month at 9:30 am, right after the morning show, on WRCR Radio 1700 AM and www.WRCR.com. Join host Clare Sheridan as we explore, celebrate, and learn about our local history, with different topics and guest speakers every month. The Historical Society of Rockland County is a nonprofit educational institution and principal repository for original documents and artifacts relating to Rockland County. Its headquarters are a four-acre site featuring a history museum and the 1832 Jacob Blauvelt House in New City, New York.www.RocklandHistory.org

Weekly Shoutout: Friend of the show Alvaro Saar Rios on The Scene Podcast, give it a listen! -- Hi there, Today I am so excited to be arts calling author Effy Redman! (www.effyredman.com) About our guest: Effy Redman's writing investigates the intersection of disability and identity. She has work published in The New York Times, Vice, Ravishly, Chronogram, Berkeley Poetry Review, and Iron Horse Literary Review, among other places. She holds an MFA in Memoir from CUNY: Hunter College, where she received an Honorable Mention for the Helen Gray Cone Fellowship, and a BA in Literature/Drama from Bennington College, where she was an Ellen Knowles Harcourt Scholar and a Bennington Scholar. effyredman.com. Twitter: @effyredman Facebook: Effy Redman Instagram: @effyredman38 Thanks for this wonderful conversation, Effy! All the best! -- SAVING FACE, now available from Vine Leaves Press! https://www.vineleavespress.com/saving-face-by-effy-redman.html ABOUT SAVING FACE: What's in a smile? Or the absent smile? Saving Face is Effy Redman's thought-provoking answer. Born with a rare condition of facial paralysis called Moebius Syndrome, Redman's grit and eye for beauty help her survive childhood bullying and adolescent doldrums. Her physical transformation at age thirteen via plastic surgery eviscerates her concept of image, just in time for her and her family to immigrate from hardscrabble Manchester, England to America's disorientingly scenic upstate New York. Not until diagnosis in young adulthood with bipolar disorder does Redman come out of the closet as a lesbian, finally claiming her most inherent identity. Saving Face is a searing personal tribute to anybody who has ever felt like an outsider. This memoir honors the grace of a face that stands out in a crowd, defying societal beauty norms. Disability meets transcendence, suffering becomes hope, and the individual expands into community. The inability to smile, in Redman's book, lights a window onto the human capacity for redemption. ★★★★★ “This author goes where no other might dare.” Catherine Filloux, award-winning playwright -- Arts Calling is produced by Jaime Alejandro (cruzfolio.com).

To celebrate Chronogram Magazine's 30th anniversary, they are exhibiting every cover of every edition of the magazine at Time and Space Limited in Hudson, New York, from October 15 to November 12. Since they launched, in the fall of 1993, Chronogram has featured the work of hundreds of Hudson Valley artists on its cover. Brian Mahoney is the longtime editor at Chronogram.

When to break a line, Slushies. And why? What's the shape your poem takes, and how does the poem's form serve its complexities, subtleties, and heart? Three poems by Karl Meade are up for consideration in this episode of The Slush Pile, and they call the editors into conversation about trauma in literature, narrative (in)coherence as craft, and the pleasurable risks of stair-stepped stanzas. Poet L.J. Sysko joins the conversation on this  episode  of The Slush Pile as we discuss “Beach Fall,” “Christmas Break,” and “Doom Eager.” (If a tree falls in the woods, Slushies. Ammiright?)   At the table: Kathleen Volk Miller, Marion Wrenn, L. J. Sysko, Jason Schneiderman, Samantha Neugebauer, Alex J. Tunney   Karl Meade's work been published in many literary magazines, a few of which he didn't even donate heavily to, or previously serve as editor—including Literary Review of Canada, Tusculum Review, Arc Poetry Magazine, Grain Magazine, Chronogram, Umbrella Factory Magazine, Contemporary Verse 2, Event Magazine, The Fiddlehead, Open Letter, Under the Sun, and Dandelion. His work has also been mistakenly longlisted for four CBC Literary Prizes, shortlisted for The Malahat Review's Open Season Creative Nonfiction Award, and Arc Poetry Magazine's Poem of the Year. His novel, Odd Jobs, written as a solemn literary manifesto, was a finalist for the Foreword Reviews Book of the Year for Humor, and an iTunes Top 20 Arts and Literature podcast—“Laugh Out Loud,” one listener said of this grave work.   Karl's chapbook “Doom Eager” has just been released in September 2023 by Raven Chapbooks, just in time for us to publish this podcast, which has waited longer than it should for release!    Author website: www.karlmeade.com Guest Editor: L.J. Sysko   L.J. Sysko's work has been published in Voicemail Poems, The Pinch, Ploughshares, Rattle, Best New Poets, and elsewhere. She is the author of a poetry chapbook, BATTLEDORE (Finishing Line Press, New Women's Voices series). Poetry honors include several Dorothy Sargent Rosenberg awards, two fellowships from Delaware's Division of the Arts, and poetry finalist recognition from The Fourth River, The Pinch, and Soundings East. Sysko holds an MFA in poetry from New England College.   X: @lj_sysko Instagram: @lesliesysko Facebook: @lesliesysko Author website: http://www.ljsysko.com   beach fall for Holli and Terry   Mountain to stone, prairie to sand, redwood to ash, from here I can see the heart of the sea, but not the beach   he fell on. I can see the picture window you sit in—waiting, watching the shore, iPad in lap, short-haired   Flossy at your side, the one who dug your dad's water bottle from under him. I don't know why   you brought his suitcase to his wake empty—what it was between you. Only he knew the words   you could not say. The doctors' words for you—non-verbal, spectral—sent him back to rage. He said they weren't worth the hair   on a dead chicken, that aut-ism was just too much self for them to take from you. He knew what his raging   love could do: four hours a night on the couch, talking through your iPad. He called himself Manitoban, the prairie farm-boy   who watched his dog run away for three days, the rain-man to lead you out, teach you how to mouth the O, the awe   in Holli. Yes, from here I can see the redwoods fall, the mountains decay, his sea-bed—   they say all the big hearts of the earth love where they fall, that his heart stopped   before he hit the beach. But we both know why his mouth was full of sand.     Christmas break for Doug and Arlene   The earth heaves, the ice cleaves. Erosion cuts the heart from every stone, while every night   I watch you drive your family past a starving glacier, turn from a truck laden with salt. You head off   the head on, take the bumper to the heart, leave your family straining your lungs' last   words from the floor of the minivan. I'm on the floor beneath my desk, straining   to plug in the phone that I will blame for years: why did I plug it in? Every night   I watch the driver's stoned eyes, petrified as your broken daughters in the back. Every night   I piece you all back together: brake, I say, turn over and over while the glacier leaves   its terminal moraine. I gather the stones, offer them to the moon, last witness   to your last turn. I turn to your wife, try to face her head on   with what the earth knows: core to crust, mouth to lung   the rupture comes, the rupture stays.

Martin Wittfooth was born in Toronto, Canada in 1981 and works in two studios in Kingston, New York, and Savannah, Georgia. He earned his MFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York City in 2008. Wittfooth's work has been exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide, including the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art, Akron Art Museum in Ohio, and La Halle Saint-Pierre in Paris, with solo exhibitions in New York City, Los Angeles, Seattle, and Copenhagen. His paintings have also appeared in numerous publications, including Juxtapoz, The New York Times Art Review, and Vice, and cover features in New American Paintings, Hi-Fructose, Chronogram, and American Artist Magazine. Wittfooth's paintings, drawings, installations, and sculptural works investigate themes of the intersection and clash of industry and nature, and the human influence on the environment. Many of his works explore the theme of shamanism - rituals and practices as old as our species - through which we have attempted to dialogue with nature: the nature outside of ourselves and the nature within. His creative language uses the combination of allegory and symbolism to convey visual narratives. Martin Wittfooth is represented by Gallery Poulsen in Copenhagen, Denmark. Topics Discussed In This Episode: Martin's upcoming solo exhibit “The Plasticene Era,” which opens on September 17th, 2022 @ Gallery Poulsen in Cøpenhagen The longest amount of time he has spent on one painting Getting inspiration from the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles The pre-career retrospective Creating an exquisite corpse with oneself Martin growing up in Finland Martin working as an illustrator directly out of college  3D printing World building Speaking about one's personal observations of the world through one's paintings The Siren in Greek mythology Google's “sentient” AI, LaMDA Creating meaning out of one's own life Balancing being a working artist and having a family Being a community-focused artist People / Artists Mentioned: Gerhard Richter (Visual Artist) David Cronenberg (Director) Bret Easton Ellis (Writer) Darren Aronofsky (Director) Adrian Ghenie (Painter) Justin Mortimer (Painter) Cecily Brown (Painter) Anish Kapoor (Sculptor) James Turrell (Artist) Albert Einstein (Physicist) Blake Lemoine (Google AI Engineer) Books Mentioned: American Psycho Less Than Zero Films / TV Shows Mentioned: Crimes of the Future (2022) Mother!

Dr. Robert Mawire discusses update to his book the Chronogram Code.

Dr. Robert Mawire discusses his book about the end time.

In 2020, Leslie T. Sharpe came to Silver Hollow Audio to narrate The Quarry Fox: and other Critters of the Wild Catskills, available at Libro.fm or wherever you get your audiobooks. Then the pandemic hit. Two years later, she returned to our studios for a reading of "The Bluebird Chronicles: a Catskills Romance." In this episode, we sat down with Leslie to fill in some of the gaps between then and now, and to talk birds, bats, and butterflies, plus ways we can all be stewards of the Catskills and its diverse ecosystem. In fact, Leslie was named one of the "50 Stewards of the Catskills" by the Catskill Center in 2019. Kaatscast was nominated for "best regional podcast" by Chronogram.

LISTEN to my November 10,, 2020 WIOX Radio conversation with writer and playwright Nina Shengold on her new book out this year from Syracuse University Press, Reservoir Year-A Walker's Book of Days.  Nina Shengold's books include Clearcut (Anchor Books), a Book Sense Notable selection; River of Words: Portraits of Hudson Valley Writers (SUNY Press); and 14 theatre anthologies for Vintage Books and Viking Penguin.  Shengold won a Writers Guild Award for her teleplay Labor of Love and the ABC Playwright Award for Homesteaders.  She teaches creative writing at Vassar College. Shengold has profiled more than 150 writers for Chronogram, Poets & Writers, and Vassar Quarterly.

She was born in Brooklyn, grew up in New Jersey, escaped to Alaska, and now lives and works in the foothills of New York's Catskill Mountains.  “Nina Shengold's memoir explores a reservoir of feelings. Accompanied by her elegant, unpretentious prose, the reader comes upon surprises: a bear, an eagle feather, a crimson forest. Filled to the brim with subtle revelations, of sun-washed illuminations but also the poignant history; a drowned town lies below the shimmering surface. Expect to be moved, and then overcome by the tenderness and variety of Shengold's emotional literary palette.” —Laura Shaine Cunningham, author of Sleeping Arrangements and A Place in the Country  Planet Poet'sPoet-At-Large, Pamela Manché Pearce talks about workshopping her poem “Black Iris” and reads the poem in its final, powerful version.

Hello listeners! Shana is BACK in the studio yay! We also are asking our listeners for feedback and idea's as we are signed up for another season here, we are going to revamp our show, is there anything you're looking for, interested in that we're not covering? Tell us! she@iwantwhatshehas.org Amara Projansky is our first guest today! She is a Hudson Valley native, and also the Founder and CEO of Luminary Media, the publisher of Chronogram, Upstate House, Upstater, Explore the Hudson Valley and now The River. She dives deep into her childhood growing up in New Paltz with a single dad, being the oldest of 3 sisters, her relationship with her family and how it influenced her life today. She was always interested reading, writing and art, and did her own "self-guided home schooling" as she calls it at the age of 16, and was encouraged by her mother's husband to focus on her art and painting. Now 25 years later she reflects on the challenges and adjustments that have been made to keep growing the magazine and publishing company. How does she take care of herself as a mother and a CEO? As a lifelong meditator she continues to explore ways to create peace and balance within and has been practicing Continuum which we're curious to check out! Our second guest today is Leigh Henrich. She works in music licensing and just recently started her own company Sweets and Pop Music !!! She has over 10 years in the music industry, but synch representation for indie artists is really where her heart is. She shares about growing up in a small town and heading out to the city, interning for companies like Nasty Little Man and Matador . She moved around a lot in the industry, she always knew she would do something in music, she was figuring out what resonated for her! She had great mentors and shares some secrets about her learning experiences I'm including a recent interview by Synchtank as well, definitely worth checking out... You will see how knowledgeable she is and determined and also personable and kind. Definitely an asset to the music industry! *correction in the interview, Leigh Henrich wanted me to let you know she misspoke and said Nasty Girl but she meant to say Nasty Little Man. Self care this week is: listening to Christmas Carols, setting boundaries to focus on personal priorities, and reaching out to friends to spend some much needed time. Today's show was engineered by Manuel Blas of Radio Kingston, www.radiokingston.org. We heard music from Shana Falana, http://www.shanafalana.com/, and audio from the film, RBG, https://www.rbgmovie.com ** Please: SUBSCRIBE to our pod and leave a REVIEW wherever you are listening, it helps other users FIND US :) Follow Us: INSTAGRAM * https://www.instagram.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcast/ FACEBOOK * https://www.facebook.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcast TWITTER * https://twitter.com/wantwhatshehas

Photo by Jeff Bisti. Caroline welcomes fellow astro*mytho*politico colleague Eric Francis, allied in our dedication to deep delving investigative cahooting, and the elegant pragmatic mysticism of the astrological language. Language grants us access to the realm it describes..if we can speak of it, we can journey there. Astrology is one of the great languages of our individual psyche's pulsing relationship to the collective Dream. So – the Equinoctial strategy for now! Eric has taken his skills as a former investigative reporter,(investigating the corporate crimes of Monsanto and General Electric) into the realm of astrology… He approaches the horoscope column as a journalistic form of אסטרולוגיה — published frequently, and easy to follow. Yet it's also a platform for ideas about growth and personal development,Presenting these ideas in accessible language, his writing has engaged an ever increasing audiences. For 18 years running — without missing an issue — the Planet Waves section is still a magnetizing attraction.. He has combined his astrological and investigative skills into a new genre of writing. After pursuing additional astrology studies in Germany with minor planet pioneer Robert von Heeren, he was recruited to stand in as a daily horoscope writer for Jonathan Cainer, the leading British astrologer. In that role, he had than three million readers across England, Australia and Europe. His work has been carried in The Daily Mail, The Daily Mirror, People.com, Hola.com and the leading British publication Woman. His horoscopes and articles have been translated into Japanese, German, Spanish, Italian and Finnish. He is the first horoscope writer to be elected into the National Union of Journalists of the UK. Today he is the horoscope writer for the Omega Institute, horoscopes for Marie Claire, Chronogram, and many regional publications around the country. Eric is editor in chief of Planet Waves, the magazine he founded in 1998. Planet Waves features the work of more than a dozen writers, on astrology, tarot, personal growth and the Planet Waves specialty — the meeting of the personal and the political.   http://members.planetwaves.net/ The post The Visionary Activist Show – Caroline welcomes fellow astro*mytho*politico colleague Eric Francis, appeared first on KPFA.
