Month: November 2023

Dear Friends,
By now the front yard maple is fully in leaf fall, brightening the gray sidewalk with
yellows and deep reds. The tree’s unwavering response to the season encourages me. Keep the wheel turning! And this upcoming event, part of the ETHOS FILM FESTIVAL, reminds me that there is plenty of useful work to do.

I will participate on a panel at the festival discussing Sheila Laffey’s short film about the effort to save the Ballona Wetlands. The film includes clips from the street theater troupe, FrogWorks and the Earth Water Air LA giant puppet trek across the city that I co-founded. Art in Action! If you live in the area, join us! Tell your LA friends!
In Peace, Susan

Dear Friends, Leaves on the maple tree in my front yard have begun their flaming, drifting fall. What a good time to celebrate the irreplaceable WS Merwin whose life and works model the artist as activist. My presentation will be about how Merwin, Snyder, (and a bit about Robert Graves) have responded to war and its impacts on the earth. Do poets have any influence at all? Come hear some stories you’ve probably never heard!

Celebrate the distinguished poet, W.S. Merwin with a screening of Even Though the Whole World is Burning, a documentary about his life and work, presented and accompanied by a panel and readings from Susan Suntree, Cheri Colby [Davis] Langdell, Tim Langdell, and Daniel E. Lambert.

Refreshments, readings, and selections from the award-winning documentary.
