“Telling your story out loud is the way human beings communicate. We don't normally think up words, translate how to spell them and then move our fingers up and down over this randomly arranged set of keys to make the same letters appear on a screen.” ThinkingWayHumansStoriesMovingLiteratureHuman BeingsKeysLettersFingersCommunicateScreensLoudSpellsTranslateUp And DownTelling Your Story Author:Kevin J.

“The music I listened to when I was a kid was Sonny Boy Williams and Pinetop Perkins. He was the one who had the most influence on my playing. I saw him through a window playing piano and I thought it was unbelievable somebody could move their fingers that fast. And this is how I got interested in piano.” KidsMovingBoysSawsInfluenceWindowFingersPianoUnbelievablePlaying Piano Author:Ike Turner
“The trees change their voices in autumn as well as their shapes. No longer do they whisper to one another in muffled tones as they did in summer; they talk in a different leaf-language now. The wind moves through the boughs like fingers drawn across the strings of a harp filling the air with the harsh dry sound of sapless leaves. It is the main theme of the autumn music, this murmuring counterpoint of dead leaves.” WellsDifferentMovingLanguageSoundVoiceAirTreeWindShapesSummerFingersToneThemeDryAutumnStringsHarshLeafsFillingHarpsMurmuring Book:The Glory of the Garden Source: The Glory of the Garden
“The nobility of Teresa Leo's poems is that they are not disposed to hide from the dark-rather, they display a mind that tends toward obsession and brooding, that works against fatality like fingers at a knot. The firm, attentive mind on display and the lucid unfolding of the poems are the life instinct seeking and finding its way through again and again. Love and beauty are the argument, but they don't win easily. Bloom in Reverse works through elegy toward survival with moving persistence, both driven and compelling.” WayMindMovingWinningDarkFindingsSurvivalArgumentInstinctFingersSeekingDrivenObsessionPersistenceFirmDisplayCompellingAgain And AgainReverseNobilityUnfoldingKnotsBroodingTeresaFatalityElegy Author:Tony Hoagland
“I never thought I was finished when people said I was finished, or any of that stuff.
