“It was grace that brought….it was grace that leaves us whole…”
Dedicated to the planet earth, where some suggests that humans are stewards for the planet’s well being. Here is a call for Americans to unite, and once again change the world for good, health, freedom, and harmony.
Yes listen to several versions:
“I once was lost, but now I am found….”
“I was once blind, but now I see….”
Now that I see, I can alter my ways, and help others realize our mutual response ability.
Let us sing together and work together to cherish our planet, our country, and one another. Let us work together for the healing of our mother earth.

Springtime in Albuquerque Nm is wonderful. There’s lot of blooming gardens, the temps can go as hi as mid 70’s. Hope and high energy are abundant. People are out in the parks playing, college students fall in love at special cafes, and kids play baseball and socceer. Spring winds can do two things: clog the air with dust and blasts, and clear the air of smog.
Check the events out and hopefully the weather won’t deter your fun. For more ideas, check www.abqarts.org

Art on Film Series continues at the Guild
Albuquerque Art Business Association and albuquerqueARTS Magazine are co-sponsoring a series of Art on Film events at the Guild Theater. Next in the series will be Bomb It on April 26-29 at 4:30, 6:30 and 8:30. A lively, engaging, documentary, Bomb It is about the worldwide phenomena of street art, graffiti, mural, and tagging that not only speaks and is spoken to by practitioners and fans of the form but also it’s vehement critics and haters. Some of the work is refined and subtle and some of it is outrageously direct and purposely crude. Working Classroom has joined us in sponsoring this controversial film.

Teaching Emphases and Research Interests
British Romanticism
Romantic Women Poets
William Blake
Mary Tighe
Gothic Literature
18th-, 19th- and 20th-Century Women Writers
Gender and Language
During the past decade my research has focused on the work of Romantic-era women poets, with particular emphasis on the poetry of Mary Tighe (1772-1810), perhaps still best known for her influence on Keats (although I hope I have been changing that). I have co-edited two essay collections that speak to the value of reading and teaching the writings of once-neglected or forgotten Romantic-era women poets, Approaches to Teaching Women Poets of the British Romantic Period (1997) and Romanticism and Women Poets: Opening the Doors of Reception (1999) , and the first scholarly edition of Tighe’s poetry and journals, The Collected Poems and Journals of Mary Tighe (2005). In addition to my work on Tighe and other Romantic-era women poets, my publications explore how we are teaching Romanticism, feminist readings of canonical Romantic poets (especially Blake), and feminist approaches to nineteenth- and twentieth-century women writers, gender and language theory, and stylistics.
The kiva meditates on herself
On the roundness of the soul
On the eagle’s circular vision.
Lie on your back, little girl—
Notice the sky! It’s contained
In its own infinite funnel.
I know this kiva. We are old friends—
The mother we never had.
I recognize her! It’s she
Who forces one toward the middle.
In the kiva there is only middle.
Looking out through her bald blue eye
It’s me:
Looking in, looking out.
Brief Biography:
M. Miriam Herrera
Miriam graduated from the Program for Writers at the University of Illinois at Chicago with an MA in Creative Writing where she was awarded an Abraham Lincoln Graduate Fellowship. Her graduate advisors and mentors in the writing of poetry were Ralph J. Mills, editor of The Selected Letters of Theodore Roethke and The Notebooks of David Ignatow; and the late Paul Carroll, founder of the Poetry Center of Chicago, and also founder of Big Table, one of the leading literary magazines of the early 60s, and the Big Table Series of Younger Poets. Mills writes about Herrera’s poetry, “I first discovered—and I use that word intentionally—Miriam Herrera’s work in the midst of the generally rudimentary kinds of poems one receives in a beginning poetry workshop here, a course often taken by students whose knowledge of and ambitions in the realm of poetry are extremely limited. The first poem Miriam turned in for class stunned me with sophistication, directness, and force.” Of Herrera’s work, Paul Carroll writes, “Miriam proved to be one of the most gifted poets to have studied in our Program. Her Master of Arts thesis—a manuscript of original poems—was one of the finest I have had the privilege to supervise.”
Since graduating from the Program for Writers, Miriam has taught at the University of Illinois in Chicago; the University of New Mexico, Los Alamos; South Bay College, in Hawthorne, California; and Russell Sage College in Troy, NY. She has also held positions as Technical Writer/Editor with the Los Alamos Technical Associates, in Los Alamos, NM; and Associate Dean of Faculty at South Bay College, in Hawthorne, California.
Her poetry has been published in New Millenium Writings, ArtLife, Blue Mesa Review, New Zoo Poetry Review, Nimrod: International Journal of Prose and Poetry, Black Maria, ECOS, and other journals. She is an active member of the Squaw Valley Community of Writers in Lake Tahoe, CA; a member of the Hudson Valley Writers Guild, the Academy of American Poets, the Poetry Society of America, and the National Council of La Raza.
Miriam’s enigmatic ancestry compels her writing. As evidenced by her family’s uniquely hybrid practices and traditions, it is likely they descend from crypto-Jews or “conversos” from the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas. These “conversos” or converts to Catholicism, fled the Spanish Inquisition and came to live in the New World. Descendants of these conversos intermarried with the Native Americans and old Christians that populated the American Southwest.
Miriam explores her crypto-Jewish/Chicana/Native American identity in her poetry. She writes about the paradoxical nature of identity and the many-layered process one must face to reconcile the splintered parts of one’s self. Her personal concept of identity is that it is fluid and changing—that immersion in one culture at a time—and in the very midst of its homeland, is very important to the process. Miriam states, “I feel my topic is worth exploring because I believe cultural fusion is the natural unfoldment of our country’s people. My poetic topics are not just about race and culture, but ultimately about the oneness of all and how this unity crosses all boundaries of race, religion, culture, and gender identity.”
In her writing classes, Miriam encourages students to develop a flourishing writing process unique to each writer, to tap into their obsessions and write from the deepest parts of their most authentic selves, which must be discovered, uncovered, and nurtured. Miriam often stresses the organic nature of the poem, and how a writer must listen closely for guidance in unearthing what the poem wants to do in form, sound, image, and meaning.
At present, Miriam is seeking a publisher for her poetry manuscript entitled Kaddish for Columbus. She is available for presenting poetry readings and creative writing workshops for both adults and adolescents, and also for developing programs and curricula in poetry, creative writing, and Chicano literature.
I was looking for a poem, poet, visionary. SO here is a springboard for you to start to explore some amazing poets. You can find more about each. Happy travelling.
New Mexico ia a very busy place for entertainment. I love using the ABQarts newsletter to see all the happenings not often listed in my other resources.

Off the Grid at the Guild Cinema
Gulf War vets, teenage runaways, the mentally ill and the socially disenchanted make up the population of the Mesa, a 16-square-mile patch of NM that provided brother-sister directors Randy and Jeremy Stulberg fertile ground for their insightful study of an alternative American lifestyle. The inhabitants of the Mesa, an undeveloped, virtually unreachable expanse of sand and scrub brush, have a system and a code that prevent their small civilization from collapsing into total chaos. The Stulbergs, whose film’s stunning look is a combination of good cinematography and a majestic New Mexican landscape, achieved marvelous access to what has to be a very closed and insular community, given where and how the inhabitants choose to live. The various characters come to vivid life as crises large, small and unresolved are explored, and the directors never pretend that what they’re portraying is utopia. Dirs. Jeremy Stulberg and Randy Stulberg - 2008 - 70m

Thank you for subscribing to undergroundARTS, the weekly supplement to Albuquerque’s
Look carefully as there are some special fundraisers listed here and there is the youth poetry competition, a big event for NM poets! The Cd parties are always fun and a great way to support local musicians. It’s the weekend so have lots of fun! Do read some of the last few blogs. They are also packed with some excellent videos.
Airwaves: Still can’t see them but we can hear their glorious results as clearly as we can hear the howling wind in a storm, or waves crashing on the shore, or the quiet rustling of lake meeting shoreline on a spring morn. Radio has been over commercialized, and may not be as BIG as it used to be, but in NM where we still have local programming (on some stations) and creative in depth coverage on a few more, radio is a quick way to get entertainment fast all day long.
If you were to read my sidebar, listing some of my keywords, you’d discover many of the topics you can get quickly on RADIO! Of course there is more. The best part that I enjoy about some of our local stations is learning about topics, musicians, news that I would otherwise not find the time for. Especially the BBC news which reminds me there’s a large world out there that I may not think about.
In Santa Fe, radio is so hot that it can raise over $150000 in less than 2 weeks for operating costs. Wish I could do that.

The three affordable NM Casino concerts in and out of Albuquerque.
The night at the Opera where they volunteered and ushered at the show and got to see it for free. The party that followed where they had extensive chats with the aprrentices.
Camping in the national forests, and the coyote visitor.
Yes there is more stuff to do in a 30 mile radius of most towns here than most often imagine. Santa Fe Sierra Club has a book dedicated to day hikes in Santa Fe. Many miss the wonderous tour and dinner at Santa Clara Pueblo and fewer still know about their campground magnificant! It might do good to talk to someone like me to discover secret places in New Mexico.

I enjoy learning more about creative people. A few days ago I found these guys on youtube. I didn’t get time to write my thoughts just then, and now I forget all I wanted to say.
Remember to take time to discover and enjoy your local or regional talent. Whether the player is a child, an oldster, or someone just working hard at what she loves, these people bring much wonder and pleasure to our towns and communities. It is easy to get caught up in the national scene, or whaterver the radio chooses as fit for listening. Our local voices may create powerful lyrics and deeply moving melodies. The guy down the streetwho used to play drums in the garage may be an integral member of the symphony or your grandson’s drum teacher. Entertainers bring many gifts to our community. Have you thanked those in the choir or the organist lately?
Sometimes the everyday folks can transform our lives immediately at home. Those who play for our dances where so many have first fallen for their mate, the wedding bands who work earnestly to play enough different songs to keep each generation happy. Grandpa on his fiddle or grandma working up a storm on her electric guitar.
Now give a listen, and remember the menu bar will expand your concert. Give support to your local music makers. Let your voice ring out with your favorite tunes. Get up and dance if you feel like it too.

Mary Carroll Nelson and Crop Circles
Mary Carroll Nelson brings her book Crop Circles: An Art of Our Time, along with her artistic impressions of crop circles to Weyrich Gallery for this special event - a book signing and exhibition.

She takes the view that crop circles are a new art form, using the land as a canvas. This reception is part of First Friday Artscrawl which includes events at 17 galleries across Albuquerque. Details are available on the Artscrawl website.

Control plays at the Guild
Based on the memoir Touching from a Distance by Deborah Curtis, Anton Corbijn’s Control is as near a perfect film telling of the story of Joy Division and Ian Curtis as any fan could hope for. It’s also a beautifully rendered piece of black and white cinema about the crippling effects of love and regret, and the salvation we seek in art. Born out of England’s post-Sex Pistols punk explosion, Joy Division played a dark, minimalist version of the nascent sound, and became cult heroes thanks in part to their brilliant yet disturbed frontman Ian Curtis (played by an eerily perfect Sam Riley). Corbijn does a wonderful job recreating the Manchester band’s music and live show, cutting straight to the essence of Joy Division’s unique appeal. Credit must also be given to the three actors who portray the rest of Joy Division - playing all the instruments themselves, they perfectly capture the band’s powerfully stoic presence, one that translates both live and on record into the sonic equivalent of an existential crisis. Control, however, is ultimately about Curtis’s tumultuous marriage with his wife, Deborah (Samantha Morton), and the way that Joy Division became an aesthetic manifestation of his pain - one that was both physical (Curtis was an epileptic) and emotional. Corbijn evokes Curtis’s hurt and isolation with both honesty and subtlety: a photographer originally, he frames each shot to look like a stark black-and-white photo from an album the audience was never meant to see, making Curtis’s pain palpable and his eventual suicide that much more tragic. The overtones to the later suicide of Kurt Cobain are hard to avoid, but where Cobain’s suicide has always been discussed in terms of the pressure he felt as a rock star, Curtis’ pain, as rendered by Corbijn, is far more universal.

As you may know this is just one of the many resources to find out what is going in Albuquerque area. going to ABQarts, you’ll also find other links and especially THE COLLECTOR’s GUIDE. For the arm chair travelers, these resources are terrific. They promote New Mexican Artists, local galleries, but best of all provide rich visual pleasure.
Some may not realize that galleries earn a large percent of their sales from people who live elsewhere! If you are a serious collector and want to know who to watch (buy famous art before it gets real expensive) then following these local events will create a roadmap of pleasure and valuable opportunities!
This newsletter also is terrific for including links to artists and organizations. Here’s a fast way to learn more about groups that you may want to support, visit, or work with! The multicultural dimensions that we New Mexicans honor and are proud of also are often represented in many local publications. Diversity produces tremendous creativity and adds to our exciting venues. It also provides perspectives of many New Mexican communities.
Other eye opening resources include: www.alibi.com, ksfr.org, www.unm.org, the Sun Monthly. If you are here in NM, check your newstands for lots more, often free publications as well.
ARTISTS: Remember to pay attention for the contests, calls for artists, and other trends so you know places to promote your art! Also if you have links and information about your work, contact me so I can write about you! Ditto musicans.
You would think that New Mexicans would be prepared for the snow: mananna: maybe someday. NOT. Part of the reason is that depending on the storm, you can melt off most of the streets by noon…except last year. Fortunately I have a subaru, and last year was able to drive through 2ft of snow to get to work. The other famous event is that, like today, you can be having a relatively warm (40’s) day where temps will drop within 30 minutes and rain becomes ice and then blinding snow.
Still we love all kinds of wet, afterall, this is desert country. I prefer to be home when it snows. However the next 2 days promises more snow and I have outside of home work to do. If I am lucky, I might even be able to get some Christmas shopping completed.
Right on time I have more music information for you:
It looks like it’s finally time to wax your skis and your boards; Wolf Creek already has great snow, and Taos is about to open; Ski Santa Fe just needs a few more storms and we’ll be headed for the hill! The holiday season can be joyous and heart-warming, but at the same time be hectic and taxing; take a break from your crazy holiday schedule and join us at the SFBC Pub & Grill for some tasty craft beer

ROUND MOUNTAIN
w/ special guest Forest Sun
Round Mountain’s Char and Robby Rothschild have been playing music together for most of their lives. Based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, their background ranges from Balkan and West African styles to traditional Appalachian music, from classical to funk. While they have played extensively together and separately in many ensembles and projects, including Prince Diabate, Panjea, the Selkies, and Lizard House, this configuration marks the crystallization of their own music using the traditions that have inspired them. Expect many extremes - beautiful acoustic numbers, wild bagpipes, trumpet and accordion played by one person at the same time, Bulgarian zydeco, klezmer, and Malian rhythms, to name a few. But while their music is varied, it is far from random. There is a solvent behind all these different dry ingredients that allows them to blend seamlessly – original songwriting with respect and love for the music. And, of course, the peculiar breed of madness the Rothschild brothers possess.
Char Rothschild, the elder of the two brothers, gives new life to the word multi-instrumentalist. In the course of a live performance, he plays trumpet, guitar, banjo, dobro, accordion, Irish whistle, gaida (Bulgarian bagpipes) and saz (a type of Turkish lute). In recordings he will often add ney (Turkish flute), clarinet, trombone, percussion, and more. Behind each of these instruments is a story and often a journey. He has played in Tokyo with the Old Moscow Circus, toured Australia with the Afro-funk band Panjea, recorded with Latif Bolat, and performed with countless other projects regionally. He is also a gifted songwriter and accompanist who has written music for many theatrical productions. Char graduated with a BFA in Contemporary Music from the College of Santa Fe.
Robby Rothschild, the younger of the two, plays cajon (Peruvian/flamenco box drum), djembe, bouzouki, mandolin, kora (West African harp), as well as singing. He began playing piano and drums at an age of eight, and has never been the same since. As a percussionist, he has been deeply influenced by the rhythms of West Africa. He has studied djembe in Mali and the United States, and has toured and recorded internationally with Kip Winger, Panjea, and Ottmar Liebert. Robby is a talented composer - his places of study include the New England Conservatory of Music, the College of Santa Fe’s Contemporary Music Program, and the University of New Mexico, where he is completing a Master’s in Composition.
Char and Robby are joined by renowned bassist Jon Gagan on upright and electric bass. Known for his work with Liebert, Jon brings his immaculate musicianship to the band and creates a powerful chemistry with the two brothers. Round Mountain is a lively mixture of ceremony and irreverence, of exuberance and reflection. Beneath all of these unlikely marriages, a certain warmth remains to unify their sound and their message. In a time when most music has become so brightly polished that no one can see inside, Round Mountain presents a rare rough gem of humanity that glows from within.

LAST TO KNOW
with members of the Flying Desert Brigade
From Taos, New Mexico, The Last to Know has performed with Hot
Buttered Rum String Band, The Motet, Culture, the Vince Herman Trio, the Skatalites, and Leftover Salmon. They have played the annual Taos Solar Music Festival - a stage shared by Los Lobos, Michael Franti and Spearhead, String Cheese Incident, Richard Thompson, New Monsoon, Michelle Shocked, Big Head Todd and the Monsters, and Leo Kottke, among others. The Last to Know has been together, writing and performing since 1999.
Last to Know is: Curt West on bass, Scott Barady on percussion, Howie Roemer on keyboards, Eric Riegel on guitar and vocals, Dan Irion on mandolin, fiddle and vocals, and Nathan Bonnette on drums.
“Last to Know is certainly a Taos creation and a local favorite
appropriately billed as ‘mountain punk, bluegrass funk.’ If a band
could be designed to play a summer jam fest in the mountains, this is it.” - Brandt H. Legg, The Taos News
“Together they create one heck of a full sound with rhythms that will keep you dancing throughout the night. Lyrically, the LTK is as powerful as they are musically. In their song ‘Go Free’ they remind us to love our fears away and our reality into existence…” - Lisa Micklin

Michael
Hearne
& SXSW
Over the past several years, Michael Hearne and South by Southwest have created a new and unique kind of music. “Southwestern Americana” as Michael calls it “Songs about the southwest with an acoustic feel”. Michael Hearne’s incredibly smooth voice and amazing acoustic guitar style combined with Carmen Acciaioli’s musical mastery of the steel guitar, fiddle, mandolin, dobro, and hammered dulcimer, with the extremely talented Zeke Severenson on stand up and electric bass and you have what people all over the Southwest and beyond call their favorite band.
Michael Hearne and South by Southwest always play to a packed house of faithful dancers when playing on their home turf in Taos or Santa Fe. Their Sunday night performances at the prestigious Paramount in Santa Fe, NM , have immortalized them as the best “Southwestern Swing dance” band to ever hit the stage. “When people hear our music they are transported to another place and time,” says Hearne. “We can play a house concert, corporate party, wedding, or a full fledged dance, and everyone has a smile on their face at the end of the night. We love what we do.”
Michael Hearne’s song writing credits are impressive, penning songs for Jerry Jeff Walker and Gary P. Nunn (Lesson to be Learned from Love) and his New Mexico anthem, “New Mexico Rain” recorded by his uncle and aunt, Bill and Bonnie Hearne, and country music legend, Johnny Rodriguez. His critically acclaimed cd “Sight and Sound”, 11 songs written about 11 different works of art, won seven awards at The New Mexico Music Awards, making him the biggest winner in their history. This cd includes the song, “The Songwriter” co-written with grammy winners Mentor Williams and Andy Byrd. Michael Hearne has also written songs with his good friends Shake Russell, Keith Sykes, and many others.
Michael Hearne and South By Southwest have played the main stage at The Kerville Folk Festival for the last 5 years, The Larry Joe Taylor Festival for the last 9 years, and the last 7 years at the Tommy Alverson Festival.

I don’t drink, but with some of this music, it would seem like a great match. I like to eat…. People at owrk were talking about LAte Night Hamburgers (vegetarian fare too), Willie’s for a bar that closes late, Harry’s where all the locals go and great desserts, COW Girl Grill had mixed reviews….Rocky’s Bar and grill more the family minded. Green Onion for the brave or crazy. BUt when it comes to best beer in Santa Fe….come on over and relax at SFBC. I seldom go out til 2 in the morning anymore: but some of my friends do.
