Light Academia / Sophie Pomme

I’m posting a link to an article tonight about Light Academia (a social and cultural movement) which I thought was interesting. I hope you do too!

“Orphans” by Frank Calderon

My latest find. (I love wandering around in antique stores!) A print by The Berlin Photographic Company - 1880 - 1920. The artist is Frank Calderon. You can read more about the artist and see the original artwork:

A photogravure reproduction - is transferring the image of the artwork to a copper plate (etching). And then printing the image. 

My poem, A Haunting, has been published on Black Poppy Review! Click the link below to check out this gorgeous publication.

Solar Eclipse - April 8, 2024

What a remarkable day. 🤍

When I look up at the vastness of space and realize how small we really are..I have the feeling we’re part of something much bigger..

Joni Mitchell - Hejira - Refuge of the Road

In a highway service station

Over the month of June

Was a photograph of the earth

Taken coming back from the moon

And you couldn’t see a city

On that marbled bowling ball

Or a forest or a highway

Or me here least of all

From the Road

 walking in from the road

the air changes 

in a single strand of light

it thickens ice on bark

a silver fog gathers

and shimmers 

like white silk  

against the evergreens

a dove sky disappears

into a squall 

and so do I

What Lies Beneath

What Lies Beneath  - staring Michelle Pfeiffer and Harrison Ford. (2000). Free on Amazon Prime right now. This is a supernatural horror story with a twist that makes it all the more interesting. I started watching it last night and got so scared I had to finish it this morning! Yes! I do recommend.

 Somewhere up ahead..is spring.

Dear Readers,

I wanted to let you know that my story The Disappearance Of Jackie Blue is moving along. I still can’t say for sure when it will be finished, but I’m hoping for summer/fall. I’m taking a much needed break for now but will be back in a couple of weeks. While I’m gone please make yourselves at home.

❤️ Jan

The Woman In Black

The Woman In Black by Susan Hill. If you’ve never read the book you won’t be disappointed in this English ghost story. My vintage copy (with illustrations) came from Etsy. Yes! I recommend.

Happy Valentine’s Day! 💗🌷💗🌷💗
