The work of Stephen De Staebler inspired the theme. Exceptional man. Exceptional artist. Great interview. And our conversation with Susan Schaller uncovers a story this is actually miraculous-like the Helen Keller story. Unbelievable if it did not really happen. Plus meet Sam Bower, founding director of greenmuseum.org. supporting environmental art worldwide that actually does something for the earth. Great portfolios, too, as always. John Toki. Ann Weber. Penelope Dinsmore. Four really, really good poems by Red Hawk. And more.
