David-Norris Montgomery
David-Norris Montgomery My work focuses on individualism or artistic voice as human response to our contemporary environment, in the spirit of the ancients, trying to work honest and clean and looking for engaging form and color.
(716) 875-1136 I have been pleased to publish three books in the last several years,
two of poetry: Two Suns, Two Moons about a woman’s personal integration
as she comes to America, and Resilience, poems from a woman’s life, both
published by Aventine Press. In addition, Trees of Surprise has been published
by Buffalo’s BlazeVox Books. It is and edited anthology which responds to
the loss of trees during the October 2006 storm. Within it, there are poems,
picture, photographs and prose text that delineate these responses. We had a
huge opening at Karpele’s Museum on October 13, 2007 with approximately 300
people in attendance. All my books are available at Talking Leaves, both stores.
Joseph E. Pawli I write poetry, short stories about life and fantasy and sometimes between the two. I also do oil paintings and posters (most of my paintings consist of freeform paintings and landscapes). I have no formal schooling in either discipline, most times they come over to the viewer or reader as harsh and rough which really portrays life to me.
Kathryn Radeff
Kathryn Radeff I design and facilitate workshops on creativity as well as share my advice on getting published in writing workshops and public speaking engagements throughout Western New York and Florida. While in college, I trained in the Martha Graham technique of Modern Dance, then went on to become a practicing teacher bringing together my experience as a dance educator and my theory underlying the art of movement. I incorporate the same methods of teaching that I used in my dance education classes in my writing workshops, combining elements of all arts to help students unleash creativity. Some of my teaching suggestions were presented in my first feature article that sold to Instructor Magazine in the late 1970's.  Photo Credit: Playbill
