Need proof? [email protected] The weekly Creative Loafi ng is now being printed monthly. It turns out that “News of the Weird” cannot compete with the weirdness of the news. Maybe that is why our President recently returned the nation to Sesame Street for a game of “One of These Things (Is Not Like the Others).” I’m pretty sure even Mr. Noodle wouldn’t be stumped picking the odd man out President’s Message when confronted with Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, and George Washington. In these troubled and troubling times, perhaps it is wise to shift our focus to our happy place, our comfort zone, our own Sesame Street. For me that’s our neighborhood. Sure, we may be home to an Oscar the Grouch (Chris Coffee, I’m looking at you), and we may have reason to wonder whether Snuffl eupaGrolsch is as benign as he seems. On the whole, though, things here are pretty good. I am especially comfortable that we as a neighborhood care about one another, mostly play nicely together, and clean up even when we didn’t make the mess.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.

I will admit I knew who most of the neighbors were, listed as “Chairs and Coordinators”, but not necessarily what their position entailed. It became easy to realize that, yes, we always manage to have a very talented Board of Directors in place through the years, including our many VPs, our Secretary and our Treasurer, but the wide range of initiatives that this neighborhood takes on and sustains would not be possible without the literally dozens of Inman Parkers who serve on our committees, whether those bodies be “standing” committees or ad-hoc in nature. President’s Message I decided to take the advice of a Board colleague and attempt to convene an “All Hands” meeting, to try and literally get all or most of our offi cers as well as our chairs and coordinators in one room. Lo and behold, on the morning of Saturday, May 9, 2015, fully two dozen of us met at the Trolley Barn. The agenda was two-fold. First, it involved having each Chair or Coordinator describe to the group what they do on behalf of IPNA.
