POETRY SERIES

with PETER SKOGGARD $10 Each night or 4 nights for $35

THE ART & POETRY OF WILLIAM

BLAKE’S SONGS OF INNOCENCE

AND OF EXPERIENCE Wednesday, September 8th at 7:00 pmAs beguiling as some of these poems are, they were also a witness to profound social changes in early Industrial England that were occurring at the same time as the tumultuous French Revolution. Without losing any of their simple charm, we will investigate Blake’s probing look into the struggles of the human spirit as well as observe prints of his hand painted etchings of these poems.

T.S. ELIOT’S FIRST QUARTET Wednesday, September 29th, at 7:00 pmWhile some of us may know of Eliot’s fastidious Anglo-Catholicism, his Four Quartets are a distillation of universal spirituality, a map of the human condition in all its despair and hope, thereby being the most concise spiritual handbook of the 20th Century.

POETRY OF E.E. CUMMINGS

Wednesday, October 20, at 7:00 pm If Eliot teaches us to understand life, then Cummings demonstrates to us how to live it. He is a dancing dervish, touching almost spontaneously all aspects of life in a single poem. We will read many and discuss the concept of setting them to music, while listening to the recordings.

REMEMBRANCE DAY War and Poetry: Two Men and Seven Women:Wilfred Owen and R.A.D. Ford and Women,

War, and, Poetry

Thursday, November 11, at 3:00 pmHow do women as diverse as Canada’s Margaret Atwood, Iraqi’s Mazek a la Ma’Ika, Palestine’s Fadwa Tuqan, and others tackle such a subject as war? British Captain Wilfred Owen broke the mold on wartime poetry with his unbearably poignant verses. And what of a little known Canadian poet who was also Canada’s Ambassador to the USSR for 15years? These were Skoggard’s sources for the dramatic oratorio Bayt Lahm and War & Peace. Robert E. Lee said: “It is a good thing that war is so horrible, otherwise we should love it too much.”

LECTURES WITH SKOGGARD The Family Business Preview:

A February 2011 Minarovich Gallery Show

Wednesday, November 24th, at 7:00 pm$8 Mem / $10 Non. (At the door)Peter and Ross Skoggard were two of four boys growing up among artists. Their paternalSwedish Grandfather and their mother studiedin China, and were painters. This inspired Ross to follow in their footsteps. Now there is a rich heritage of family history in pictorial art: portraits and the same scene painted each of the three generations. Peter presents a previewof the February show with examples from hisown collection.

TALK & CONCERT: My Musical Settings of Poetry of Margaret

Atwood

Saturday March 27th, 2011 at 3:00 pm$8 Mem / $10 Non at the doorSkoggard will be doing a reading and an appreciation of some poems of this greatCanadian literary figure, followed by concertperformances of his music inspired by her incisive and direct poetry. One set of threepoems will be performed on the Elske Albarda piano with clarinet. This will include threesongs: Romantic; Sekhemet, The Lion-HeadedGoddess of War, Violent Storms, Pestilence, sand Recovery from Illness, Contemplates the Desert in The Metropolitan Museum of Art; and The Loneliness of the Military Historian.

Maybe it’s because there are no bench warmer’s in our classes — every child participates in every

activity — no first string, second string, third string. Nobody’s left out. Maybe it’s because they meet

new friends who share a common interest, and become part of the Martial Arts family. It could be that

they are setting goals and working to achieve them, and when they do, they feel great about

themselves. The personal attention our instructors give them, will keep kids interested and engaged

and keeps them having fun.

Parents who have their kids in our classes love seeing their kids learn self-discipline, self-confidence,

respect for others, equality, and how to defend themselves in any situation.
