Book Signings Book Room. 1 President’s Message by Sue Farlow By now you all have probably noticed that we changed the name of our newsletter. Pine Whispers. It evokes Robert Frost’s woods, “lovely dark and deep.” It also conjures images of Weymouth Woods. I have walked in those woods many times and have listened to the whispers. I like the name since it fits along with our anthology, Pinesong. Hope you like the change. You need to mark another important change on your calendar as soon as you put the newsletter down. The date of the Sam Ragan Poetry Festival will move from the 3rd Saturday in June to the 2nd Saturday in March. The board struggled with this change, but I feel we have made the right decision. Attendance at the SRPF over the past several years has been notably down. June is a busy month for weddings and vacations. Hopefully, this will allow more members to attend. We will have something to look forward to between our winter meeting and Awards Day. I have been on the board for five years and this past Sam Ragan Festival is the first one I have missed (yes, for a wedding – my son got married). I have heard from several people how much they enjoyed it, particularly Keith Flynn and Michael Beadle. Our own Bill Griffin got high marks with his camp songs. Many people on their evaluations expressed concern that attendance was sparse. We hope a March meeting will bring more people out. You may also notice in the newsletter that there are several board openings and committee chair vacancies. If you would like to become a board member or committee chair, please e-mail me at [email protected]. I’ll be glad to answer any questions about the positions. I am excited about our September meeting. 1st vice president, Sara Claytor has already been working on it. I am looking forward to hearing the poets read. NCPS co-sponsors this event with the North Carolina Writer’s Network. Ed Southern, the director will be on hand for the meeting. The afternoon panel of publishers will show members the intricacies of getting published. See you in September. Remember eMuse The NCPS eMuse is alive and kicking and coming to an inbox near you every month! The E-Muse is "poetry-related news you can use supplied by NCPS members for NCPS members".

It takes a community to raise some eMuse.... 2 QUELLING WITH THE QUILL OR BATTLING THE DREADED MOCKO JUMBIES OF YOUR LIFE C. Pleasants York On a recent trip to the Virgin Islands, I was perusing a map of St. John and was amused to see a protrusion of land into the Caribbean Sea called Pen Point. In this tropical area where the arts are a lifeblood of the people, it is refreshing to see such poetic nomenclature. In a book of Caribbean myths and legends, I further discovered that the way to convince an evil spirit to leave quietly is to point a pen at him. I think back over all the times in my life when I have quelled the evil spirits – not just the towering mocko jumbie island spirits of good and evil destiny, but the equally devastating spirits of doubt and discouragement and fear - by taking out a pen and writing out my feelings, letting my ideas flow onto the paper. Seeing the words on the page has given me clarity and self-assurance, a reality more essential than the goatskins and cowry shells and mirrors of the mocko jumbies. The pen is, indeed, mightier than the sword, whether it comes from exorcising demons or writing a sonnet. As writers, we have the power. Welcome, New Members, to the North Carolina Poetry Society.

    N​ CETA Notes November, 2019 Fall Conference Review NCETA hosted its Annual Fall Conference, Literacy in the 21st Century, Oct. 11-12 in Charlotte, NC. The ​ ​ conference opened with a screening of Truth Underground, a documentary about three spoken word ​ ​ poets, followed by a panel discussion featuring poet CJ Suitt and filmmaker Gerret Werner. On Saturday, session presenters shared strategies to amplify student voice in the classroom, create a culturally representative pedagogy, and foster creativity and collaboration in our students. Keynote speaker Donovan Livingston shared the importance of disrupting our practices as educators to keep students at the forefront of our classrooms. Our Outstanding Teachers NCETA recognized Dr. Kerry Martinez, kindergarten teacher at Hunter Elementary School in Raleigh, ​ ​ as its Outstanding Literacy Teacher at its 2019 Conference, honoring her passion, dedication, and insistence that “Literacy happens in all teachable moments throughout the day, providing students ​ 1 with the perspective that literacy enhances who they are as friends, thinkers, and learners,” in the words of her principal, Briana Pelton. Former Hunter PTA President Dr. Kelly Morris Roberts, in her nomination of Dr. Martinez, described how “Kerry has a knack for making those little wiggly pails, those vessels for learning that burst into ​ her door each day, just able to hold lots more and do lots more than they could when they entered in September.” Dr. Roberts further describes Dr. Martinez’s gift for building capacity in her students: In her firm, fair, and friendly way, she expects great things from each one of her students, and to hear her parents talk, she gets it.

The Zoo depends on these artists to build sensory bridges that beckon visitors to step beyond their ordinary perceptions and into a heightened awareness of nature. These artists work by tantalizing visitors’ senses — moving them with colors, shapes, sounds, movements and textures. Works spring up around the Park, all aligned to awaken curiosity, challenge perceptions and evoke new ideas about nature’s unyielding beauty and unending variety. The Zoo’s collection calls out to everyone. It incorporates diverse media and broadcasts layered messages that break through cultural barriers and reach across generations. Different styles, different artists and different forms invite visitors to embark on unique journeys of personal discovery and exploration. The works emulate nature’s diversity. They emerge as smooth bronzes, recorded stories, textured ceramics, detailed illustrations, serious oils, lighthearted sketches, complex murals and lively music. Together they complement one another. They poke at nature’s secrets to gently expose, and explain, the bonds that link human survival to the living organisms that clean and sustain the air, the water and the earth we all “We want the individual art works to be attractive and need to survive. intriguing in their own right, (but) the more they make people think and question the better.
