Sounds good. RReview "Ed Meek's stories don't fool around . . . We leave his stories shaking our heads and saying to ourselves, 'Yeah, I know about that, but I couldn't have said it as well.' " - Bill Littlefield, host of NPR's Only A Game "Ed Meek is a writer to be reckoned with . . . One of his protagonists says that he 'like[s] to magnify the conflict and watch the drama because otherwise it's a goddamn bore. Life, I mean.' The reader will find plenty of conflict-external and internal-in these intense perceptive fictions, whether they're set in New England, Montana, or Iran." - Miriam Kotzin, Editor and Publisher, PerContra and Contributing Editor, Boulevard "No matter how far below zero it is outside, Meek can make readers sweat behind a hot grill in Montana . . . There are no tricks to Meek's fiction. Each story's language simply asks us to dwell in Meek's swiftly turning worlds that are sketched with careful details and questions that always matter, even if we only think to ask them later for a moment or a lifetime." - Will Hochman, author of Freer and A Critical Companion to J.D. Salinger AAbout the Author ED MEEK is a freelance writer and the author of three books of poetry: Flying, What We Love, and Spy Pond. His work has appeared in magazines, journals and newspapers, including The Paris Review, The Sun, the North American Review, and The Boston Globe. He is living the dream with his wife in Somerville and Wellfleet.

FW: A joint letter from Boston art museum directors
by Ruth Ryals 24 Feb '17

24 Feb '17

Neighbors, Please pass this on, and share your outrage on this, along with so many unecessary attacks on our country and culture, when you reach out to our elected representatives. Ruth From: Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum <membership(a)isgm.org> Organization: Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum Reply-To: Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum <membership(a)isgm.org> Date: Friday, February 24, 2017 at 3:00 PM To: Ruth Ryals <rryals(a)comcast.net> Subject: A joint letter from Boston art museum directors Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum home <http://connect.gardnermuseum.org/site/R?i=3-4EJM4vYDZG9GuVK6yA6Q> | join <http://connect.gardnermuseum.org/site/R?i=OlJ9U1icAJxyEJocecPihw> | visit <http://connect.gardnermuseum.org/site/R?i=kMHrBGbSkz4GUHKqEAr9Pg> | calendar <http://connect.gardnermuseum.org/site/R?i=xqJ7LVl7Zj7rAZTUv3OdUQ> Dear Patrons, Members, and Friends,As directors of Boston's art museums, we serve as stewards of the public trust. So, we are alarmed at reports that the National Endowment for the Arts is under threat of being abolished, along with the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Each of these entities champions art and culture in communities across America.In Boston, NEA and NEH funding has been instrumental at each of our museums, supporting our extensive programs of public access, teaching and scholarship, conservation, collection and exhibition. NEA and NEH grants supported the digitization and cataloging of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum's singular collection; acquisition funds for works of art by American artists of color in The Heritage Fund for a Diverse Collection at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the forthcoming exhibition Animal-Shaped Vessels from the Ancient World: Feasting with Gods, Heroes, and Kings at the Harvard Art Museums; the restoration of American artist Kenneth Noland's only public art piece at MIT; and transformative art education programs for Boston public school middle and high school students at the ICA.Federal support has been a critical piece of the puzzle for museums in our shared mission to foster knowledge, create cultural exchange, generate jobs and tourism, educate our youth, ignite the imagination of our audiences and nurture the creativity of working artists. Across the country in communities small and large, urban and rural the NEA and NEH help to guarantee access to the arts and the preservation and presentation of diverse cultural expression. The prestige and visibility of the NEA and NEH connects our entire cultural community, though we are well aware of the outsized influence of federal dollars at our most vulnerable arts institutions across America.On Wednesday, our colleague Thomas Campbell of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, wrote an op-ed in the <http://connect.gardnermuseum.org/site/R?i=_yj0_ImplTV0FTCtVAYPzA> New York Times <http://connect.gardnermuseum.org/site/R?i=W9_4eXtuiqV7EPLX90wo1w> eloquently outlining how every museum relies not only on financial support but also on the advocacy of the NEA to strengthen communities through the arts.We share the belief that access to the arts is at the core of a democratic and equitable society. During this moment of heightened national discord, the elimination of the NEA and NEH is not a cut our country can afford. Art is, at its best, a dialogue. We hope that you'll participate in the conversation about the importance of federal funding for the arts and join us as stewards of the public good.
