Miriam Levine: March 2012
http://miriamlevine.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 26, 2012. Tar, Young and Bitten: Nostalgia. With the temperature at 77- low humidity, and a soft breeze coming off the ocean- how could I have even thought of not going out this morning! If I had stayed in, I would have missed the sweetly acrid smell of tar. The roofers were working on a building on Meridian Avenue. I smelled tar before I saw the tar truck. We had so much to give—pennies, kisses,. We would let them land. On the back of a hand kept still and watch. It was always twilight.

Miriam Levine: May 2012
http://miriamlevine.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 24, 2012. Jews and African Americans on Beacon Hill. Leaving the posh south side of Beacon Hill I saw, by chance, the Vilna Shul built in 1906, when immigrant Jews lived on the north side of Beacon Hill, and Jews from Vilna chose this large bold stained glass window set into the facade. A creature of soft pleasures, I drank a glass of wine and ate biscotti to strengthen myself for the subway and bus ride home. Tuesday, May 1, 2012. Save Us from Shallow. Black hats a la Alex Katz are for sal...

Friday, September 28, 2012. Callie Crossley Interviews Photographer Melissa Shook. Spoke about her book "My Suffolk Downs" in a radio interview.

Congratulations to Melissa Shook on the publication of My Suffolk Downs ( http:/ pressed-wafer.blogspot.com/2012/01/my-suffolk-downs-by-melissa-shook.html. About which George Kalogeris writes:. To this I would add: these are masterful photos with wonderful grays; Shook presents the clear, unsentimental voices of workers for whom the track is a mixed fate, voices gritty and gallant.

Miriam Levine: Found
http://miriamlevine.blogspot.com/2012/10/found.html
Tuesday, October 9, 2012. Our street is under construction. Rain washes brick dust into the street. I doubt I could make anything as rich as these colors and shapes. We're lucky to have new fire hydrants. I wonder what they cost. These marks signify something underground, something to take care not to disturb. Is there any point to making art when there are such satisfying finds? Yes I'm glad to find this artful sentence from Chekhov: "When one thinks of food, one's heart grows lighter.".

Miriam Levine: Walking the Streets, Alley's, Too
http://miriamlevine.blogspot.com/2013/01/walking-streets-alleys-too.html
Tuesday, January 29, 2013. Walking the Streets, Alley's, Too. An independent man may be hard to find. I don't think they are. Business is done from the adapted, repurposed grocery cart. Identifying marks have been removed- the cart's a long way from Walgreen's or Publix or CVS or Whole Foods, etc., etc. What is the story behind this arrangement? What do you think? The pack of cigarettes angled to the shoe? Does the pack contain any cigarettes? The trees I like so much have survived the pruning. Thank you...

Miriam Levine: Poems at The Blue Lyra
http://miriamlevine.blogspot.com/2012/11/poems-at-blue-lyra.html
Thursday, November 1, 2012. Poems at The Blue Lyra. Many thanks to Matthew Silverman, editor at The Blue Lyra. For publishing two of my poems. The fall issue includes work by B.Z. Niditch, Yvette Moreno, and Yehoshua November. (I don't know the artist who painted Orpheus playing his lyre near the blue-green ocean. He's all one here before the maenads tore him to pieces.). Vega, one of the brightest stars in the sky, is in the constellation Lyra. Beheaded, by Redon. The strains of mourning. I love the way...
