About Yoga and Writing [by Pamela White]
In my weekly yoga class we begin by moving through some positions and stretches. Balancing poses follow. As I am longing for Yoga Nidra, our relaxation time, my instructor returns to the series of stretches and lunges that opened the class.

Lady Liberty [by Shaunte Shayde]
NY is beautiful. She has holes and rust. She beats and bleeds stronger than any city that I’ve ever known. She is strength. She is truth, and if you can’t face her she’ll break you. Respect her liberty. It’s yours.
NY is filled with hungry people. We hunger for the glory that she’s given us, and that hunger will only stop when our apple hearts stop beating. We beat for more, we bleed for life. NY.

Forgiven Family Feud By Rachel Eagle Reiter
I am not writing to give you a boring history lesson, but here is an overview: The Jews and the Muslims are long lost brothers. Both, Jews and Muslims are descendents of the patriarch, Abraham. Abraham is the father of the Jews and the father of the Muslims. The descendents of Abraham, disputed over blessings, inheritances and birthrights.

Local Geography [by S. Donovan Mullaney]
Saturdays, my grandfather collected our garbage
in the back of his battered blue Dodge.
During my summer visits, we’d drive
ten miles to the landfill.
No radio, no tape deck,
no air conditioning. No—
Keep it simple, Stupid.
That mountain grew,
fattened by five towns,
bulldozers lifting and separating the refuse.
Engineers planted pipes for escaping methane
as our material history
decomposed in the earth. |

Chief Sunday’s Squaw [by S. Donovan Mullaney[
“Get up, get up,” my mother said, “Chief Sunday’s
Squaw is dead. Dig a hole in the yard.”
Tuesday morning we buried the llama.
I couldn’t close Sunday’s eyes all the way,
but three tugs softened her death stare.
A final shearing so mother could make a scarf
for my stepfather: “She’ll keep him warm when
chemotherapy makes him cold.” |

Alleyways [by S. Donovan Mullaney]
The city has replaced the gunshots
and caged walkways of Cabrini Green
with a Home Design store, condominiums,
and a convention center.
In the shuttered gray-brown valleys that remain
behind the stone and glass
storefronts and housing blocks,
the old New World loiters dreamless
twenty feet from light.

FREE JAZZ, The Jazz Revolution of the '60s, by Robert Levin REVISED AND EXPANDED HERE, THIS PIECE ORIGINATED AS AN "ORAL ESSAY" FOR THE COSMOETICA OMNIVERSICA INTERVIEW SERIES More or less officially unveiled with the first New York appearance of the Ornette Coleman Quartet at the Five Spot Café in the fall of 1959, free jazz (or new black music, space music, new thing, anti-jazz or abstract jazz as it would variously be labeled), gave new dimension to the perennial "where's the melody?" complaint against jazz. |
