Loved sharing what inspired my poem The Severn at Llanidloes with BBC Wales! Each of the 50 poems in the Afonydd/Rivers anthology has its own genesis story.

Renée Fleming departs The Kennedy Center

It has been a privilege to serve as an Artistic Advisor at Large to the The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. David Rubenstein’s leadership as Chairman is just one of the many ways he has contributed to America’s cultural and historic heritage. He is the greatest patriot I know.
As President of the Kennedy Center, Deborah Rutter has been a tireless, creative leader, successfully expanding our National Center for the Arts in visionary ways.
They have both been an inspiration to me; and out of respect, I think it right to depart as well.
I’ve treasured the bi-partisan support for this institution as a beacon of America at our best. I hope the Kennedy Center continues to flourish and serve the passionate and diverse audience in our nation’s capital and across the country.
-Renée

Hello new followers! Here's one of my favorite older comics.

A four-panel comic called Instinct is Weird. In panel 1, a yellow warbler looks at a beautiful nest in a shrub and says "I made this for some reason". In panel 2, there are five eggs in the nest and she says "these are my smooth round children". In panel 3 an egg has hatched into a yelling hatchling, and she says "Oh no now it's loud". In panel 4 she looks distressed as five hatchlings now fill the nest, begging for food, and she says "help".

Read the Merola news release and there are SIX Canadians in the 2025 cohort (usually it's 1-2)-- all from the Toronto area. Very few non-North Americans compared to previous seasons too. @joshuakosman.bsky.social dis they change their criteria? Were applications down from elsewhere?
