Seamus’ Belly
MichaelBettencourt | Scene4 Magazine | www.scene4.comI don’t know what he’s thinking, how he’s thinking, but it seems reasonable to interpret that he is making a choice based on a desire and has a plan to satisfy the desire.   
Michael Bettencourt

Life Among the Species… Redux
Arthur Danin Adler  Scene4 MagazineIt's back in all its persecuting glory. A constant tribute to and an icon of superstition and fear, a stupidly designed structure with an ugly exterior that denied Greek and Roman engineering and beauty.
Arthur Danin Adler

Getting up and getting out
Claudine Jones | Scene4 MagazineIf I'm watching Ram Dass or Alan Watts or even Krishnamurti, all long since dead, one of the best things is that there is no questioning. There's simply an excerpt of wisdom I would call it. Elucidating.
Claudine Jones

The Key West Scene
Les Marcott | Scene4 Magazine | www.scene4.com
Having all of that talent in Key West,
that was the equivalent of the Round Table
at the Algonquin.
Les Marcott

Notes Toward a Memoir of Madness and Writing - Part IV
Gregory Luce | Scene4 MagazineWhat if, instead of being diagnosed, being called mentally ill, what if I had been able to receive care for its own sake. To be in distress, to ask for care, to receive it. What if there were space in the world for care.
Gregory Luce

Perfect Album: Boston
Patrick Walsh | Scene4 MagazineWhy is it that so many of the greatest albums are debuts? It’s no mystery. In that long gestation before an artist or group gives birth to a first record, whole lifetimes of musical growth have likely transpired.
Patrick Walsh

inSight

The Music in Defiance of the Taliban
Imagine a country where music is not allowed.

Karren Alenier

Brian George

The Living Bauhaus: Collages of Rod Heft
It's no wonder the work of Rod Heft shares a sensibility with the German Bauhaus where, for example, our man Kandinsky taught from 1922 to the end.
Lissa Tyler Renaud

Chicken Bone (Part Two)
My Story with Ernest Hemingway   Altenir Silva 
I didn't have a choice, by the way, as I was already informed,
Don Cristallo didn't accept no. So… I went to his table.

Snake Eyes    Arthur Danin Adler  
Mr. Joe Caswell is a not too old, not too young man,
easy to smile, easy to laugh, quick to anger.
Mr. Joe Caswell is a consumer and dismisser of most things, especially people

Life Upon the Wicked Stage    Arthur Danin Adler  
On the Joy of Hearing a Stream of Words and Music from Gifted
Non-internet Writers and Phrased by a Magical Non-internet Voice .
