Among the unmistakable signs of progress are the continued development of KnowLA, The Digital Encyclopedia of Louisiana History and Culture, the evolution of PRIME TIME Family Reading Time® as a nationally recognized leader in early childhood education and the publication of A Unique Slant of Light: The Bicentennial History of Art in Louisiana. The complete elimination of our state funding created new challenges that the LEH met with renewed vigor through the talents and dedication of our effective board and staff members and the support of government, foundations, corporations and individuals. After more than four decades as a standard bearer for stewardship and education, we remain determined to deliver the history and culture of our state to all Louisianans. The LEH’s award-winning programs all remained national exemplars for state humanities councils: • PRIME TIME Family Reading Time® • Louisiana Cultural Vistas magazine • KnowLA — The Digital Encyclopedia of Louisiana History and Culture The louisiana humanities Center at turners’ hall, headquarters for the leh. •Readings in Literature and Culture (RELIC) library programs • Teaching American History (TAH) • Museums on Main Street, in partnership with the Smithsonian Institution • The LEH Grants program • LEH’s original humanities programming at the Louisiana Humanities Center Since its inception in 1971, the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities has invested more than $65 million to bring Louisiana’s people, history, cultures and stories to local, national and international audiences. More than 25,671 Louisiana residents have participated in PRIME TIME programs, more than 103,000 have attended RELIC programs and 6,248 educators have graduated from the LEH’s Teacher Institutes for Advanced Study and Teaching American History, who in turn teach 628,000 students. Millions more have attended LEH-funded programs throughout the state or have watched LEH-funded documentaries. The bulk of that investment was made possible through state and federal appropriations and grants the LEH received through competitive applications. audience in the Patrick f. taylor auditorium. 2 louIsIana endowment for the humanItIes Louisiana Cultural Vistas magazine headquarters in New Orleans and as a vital source of LEH PROGRAMS First published in 1990, Louisiana Cultural Vistas reaches cultural activity, the LHC hosts nonprofits, cultural a readership exceeding 20,000, with more than 9,000 organizations, national corporations and academic KnowLA — The Digital Encyclopedia of Louisiana pages and 92 issues in print and available online.

    Love Songs Press Release

    1 THE MOST ROMANTIC SONGS RECORDED BY THE ACCLAIMED AARON NEVILLE, INCLUDING TRACKS WITH LINDA RONSTADT AND THE NEVILLE BROTHERS, COLLECTED ON NEW COMPILATION AARON NEVILLE: LOVE SONGS “With an angelic voice capable of reconciling spiritual opposites-–wisdom and innocence, masculinity and femininity, the sacred and the profane--(Aaron) Neville can pretty much find the soul of any song...(using) that famous catch in his throat to convey the exuberance of unbridled passion.” --Rolling Stone (1995) The sweet soulful voice of Aaron Neville--the most familiar figure of New Orleans’ first family of music--has been brought to bear on love songs since the late ‘60s. Now 14 of those love songs from his most successful period, the ‘80s and ‘90s, have been collected on Aaron Neville: Love Songs (A&M/UME), released January 14, 2003. With the album co-compiled by Neville himself, each digitally remastered track was selected for its power of romance rather than its chart position. As a result, Aaron Neville: Love Songs brings most of these songs, spanning the years 1981 to 1997, together for the first time on any compilation. The album is the latest in the artist-driven, genre-crossing yet thematic Love Songs series which has previously included collections from Etta James, Elton John, and Stephanie Mills and is scheduled to release albums from Diana Ross, Marvin Gaye, the Moody Blues, Peggy Lee and more. Two recordings heard on Aaron Neville: Love Songs are actually from The Neville Brothers (Aaron, Art, Charles and Cyril): their Nawlins renditions of the doo-wop classic “The Ten Commandments Of Love” and ballad standard “Mona Lisa,” both from the siblings’ 1981 Joel Dorn-produced album Fiyo On The Bayou.

    Elvis Costello Began Writing Songs at the Age of Thirteen. 2017 Marked the 40Th Anniversary of the Release of His First Record Album, My Aim Is True

    Elvis Costello began writing songs at the age of thirteen. 2017 marked the 40th anniversary of the release of his first record album, My Aim Is True. He is perhaps best known for the songs, “Alison”, “Pump It Up”, “Everyday I Write The Book” and his rendition of the Nick Lowe song, “(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace Love and Understanding”. His record catalogue of more than thirty albums includes the contrasting pop and rock & roll albums: This Year’s Model, Armed Forces, Imperial Bedroom, Blood and Chocolate and King Of America along with an album of country covers, Almost Blue and two collections of orchestrally accompanied piano ballads, Painted From Memory - with Burt Bacharach and North. He has performed worldwide with his bands, The Attractions, His Confederates - which featured two members of Elvis Presley’s “T.C.B” band - and his current group, The Imposters – Steve Nieve, Pete Thomas and Davey Faragher - as well as solo concerts, most recently his acclaimed solo show, “Detour”. Costello has entered into songwriting collaborations with Paul McCartney, Burt Bacharach, the Brodsky Quartet and with Allen Toussaint for the album The River In Reverse, the first major label recording project to visit New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and completed there while the city was still under curfew. In 2003, Costello acted as lyrical editor of six songs written with his wife, the jazz pianist and singer Diana Krall for her album, The Girl In The Other Room. He has written lyrics for compositions by Charles Mingus, Billy Strayhorn and Oscar Peterson and musical settings for words by W.B.

    2014 ANNUAL REPORT Within These Pages You’Ll Find Examples of the North Texas Food Bank Mission in Action

    FILLING TABLES A Member of Feeding America Improving lives 2014 ANNUAL REPORT Within these pages you’ll find examples of the North Texas Food Bank mission in action. Our passion for ending hunger can only be fulfilled with your support, and we’re so thankful that you partnered with us to make some 62 million meals available for hungry children, seniors, and working families in Fiscal Year 2014. A MESSAGE FROM OUR BOARD CHAIR It’s all thanks to you. Friends, As we close the books on the final year of the ReThink Hunger campaign, the North Texas Food Bank board is celebrating many wonderful accomplishments — most importantly, providing access to some 62 million nutritious meals for hungry North Texans. Through your financial support, volunteer efforts and advocacy, we achieved this important milestone. Thank you! Each day, the team at NTFB provides access to 170,000 meals for hungry children, seniors and families through a network of more than 1,000 programs and 262 Partner Agencies. While this figure is significant, we know that more work needs to be done, as 250,000 meals are needed daily to feed our hungry neighbors. Each year our supporters rise to the challenge and help us provide food for more than 439,000 food-insecure individuals who reside in our 13-county service area. This year was no different. As you flip through the pages of this annual report, you will read about the programs that NTFB has established to provide food and hope to our community, and you will also see the individuals, corporations, organizations and faith communities that brought food, funds and other support to our mission.

    Refrain, Again: the Return of the Villanelle

    Refrain, Again: The Return of the Villanelle Amanda Lowry French Charlottesville, VA B.A., University of Colorado at Boulder, 1992, cum laude M.A., Concentration in Women's Studies, University of Virginia, 1995 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of English University of Virginia August 2004 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ABSTRACT Poets and scholars are all wrong about the villanelle. While most reference texts teach that the villanelle's nineteen-line alternating-refrain form was codified in the Renaissance, the scholar Julie Kane has conclusively shown that Jean Passerat's "Villanelle" ("J'ay perdu ma Tourterelle"), written in 1574 and first published in 1606, is the only Renaissance example of this form. My own research has discovered that the nineteenth-century "revival" of the villanelle stems from an 1844 treatise by a little- known French Romantic poet-critic named Wilhelm Ténint. My study traces the villanelle first from its highly mythologized origin in the humanism of Renaissance France to its deployment in French post-Romantic and English Parnassian and Decadent verse, then from its bare survival in the period of high modernism to its minor revival by mid-century modernists, concluding with its prominence in the polyvocal culture wars of Anglophone poetry ever since Elizabeth Bishop’s "One Art" (1976). The villanelle might justly be called the only fixed form of contemporary invention in English; contemporary poets may be attracted to the form because it connotes tradition without bearing the burden of tradition. Poets and scholars have neither wanted nor needed to know that the villanelle is not an archaic, foreign form.
