Ashes on the Waves by Mary Lindsey5/29/2023 ![]() ![]() She taught her master class at Artistic Home for almost 20 years. Shortly after my husband John and I established The Artistic Home Studio, I knocked on Mary Ann’s door for help and as always, every time I ever knocked on her door, she opened it, wide. But she threw me in the deep end and said “trust what you see” because you will see. I worried that I wouldn’t see the truth or the falseness or anything for that matter. I can’t tell you how often I watched her teach. I began teaching under Mary Ann’s tutelage. She could recognize truth or falseness instantly and never settled for a false move. The years that followed at Center Theatre is where she established herself as a teacher in the mold of Ed Kaye who demanded truth in acting of her students to the point of sometimes only letting a word or two of the scene out before you heard, stop. I still see Mary Ann’s strength and love standing on that bluff in that wind. Ed died of complications from AIDS in 1989 and I still remember the day we spread his ashes over Lake Michigan up in New Buffalo. It was the first of many gifts she would give me. ![]() ![]() Studying alongside her, she taught me how to trust myself through her fearless example. She adored him and he her but she never let him intimidate her as he did so many of us and it was because Mary Anne knew herself. He was tough and at times, could be less than kind but his observation skills were incredible. “I met Mary Ann 45 years ago in acting class with Ed Kaye- Martin at Wisdom Bridge Theatre. ![]()

Chris was the Third Shift Data Center Manager for Skywatch. The second generally boiled down to academia or 'Do you want fries with that?' He had the same problem with academia he had with corporations. The first might have gotten him a really good paying job if he could just manage to get through corporate interviews without putting his foot in his mouth. ![]() He had a Masters in Aeronautical Engineering and a PhD in astrophysics.

These showed her typical quality and originality of approach, and helped to launch a new and unsenti- mental kind of plot and story, in which, for example, there appears a black girl heroine. She eventually cured herself of mental paralysis and writer's block by working on a series of children's books. It seemed as if a highly promising literary career would be cut short which in one sense it was, because there seems no doubt that if she had retained her health Jean would have written novels that would have put her in the forefront of postwar women's writing. Jean took years to recover from this terrible affliction, and might not have done so without the unfailing support of her husband, the publisher and author James Macgibbon (obituary, March 4 2000) and family. ![]() ![]() Tragically, the success of When The Weather's Changing coincided with a severe mental breakdown, which must have been at least partly caused by the stresses and strains of wartime London life. The latter became an ally and friend, whose discerning eye was to follow Jean's subsequent career. ![]() It was deservedly praised by reviewers, and enthusiastically admired by Roy Fuller and Rosamond Lehmann. ![]() The Princess Curse by Merrie Haskell5/28/2023 ![]() ![]() Writing from Reveka's point of view, Haskell departs from traditional renditions by handing the sleuthing reins to a strong (and compassionate) heroine whose resourcefulness extends even to the Underworld, the "Sunless House," where she's faced with a dizzying moral dilemma. In a fictional region of 15th-century Romania (between Maramures and Transylvania), 13-year-old Reveka yearns for her own herbery in a convent, "a whitewashed room filled with northern sunlight and tall drying cabinets." Initially driven by Prince Vasile's promise of a large reward-for a woman, "a fabulous dowry," with which Reveka could buy her way into an abbey-Reveka's motivation and sense of urgency changes when her friend Didina is poisoned and must join the "sleepers" in the western tower. Reveka, a smart, irreverent, outspoken and observant herbalist's apprentice with a "curiosity ailment," is determined to break the mysterious and powerful curse on the princesses of Sylvania, though anyone who tries either disappears or falls into a deathlike sleep. ![]() ![]() An imaginative, intriguing and spirited retelling of "The Twelve Dancing Princesses." ![]() Bane the rule of two5/28/2023 ![]() This mechanic revolves around an emblem that boosts a creature's abilities, and it is triggered with specific card text.

Raymond carver short stories collection5/28/2023 ![]() ![]() In books such as Cathedral and the later tales included in the collected stories volume Where I'm Calling From, Carver revealed himself to be a more expansive writer than in the earlier published books, displaying Chekhovian sympathies toward his characters and relying less on elliptical effects. ![]() Carver's stories were brilliant in their detachment and use of the oblique, ambiguous gesture, yet there were signs of a different sort of sensibility at work. Suggestive rather than explicit, and seeming all the more powerful for what is left unsaid, Carver's stories were held up as exemplars of a new school in American fiction known as minimalism or "dirty realism," a movement whose wide influence continues to this day. Beneath his pared-down surfaces run disturbing, violent undercurrents. In collections such as Will You Please Be Quiet, Please? and What We Talk About When We Talk About Love, Raymond Carver wrote with unflinching exactness about men and women enduring lives on the knife-edge of poverty and other deprivations. ![]() |
