CRITIQUE OF THE WEEK
********************************
name = Jessica Sayer
Submission_author = On Ghostly Grounds- Chapter 1 by Eric Rodriguez
Points = 3 points
opinion of the submission and author = I think this first chapter just doesn't live up to its preface, but I have found that with great novels the first few chapters are that way, so who says the next chapter will be the same. Personally, I found it a little hard to follow. Overall it is well written, and hopefully the chapters that follow live up to the preface and not this chapter.

name = Lisa Ferrer
Poem_author = Visions by Pam Newton
Points = 5 points
opinion of the poem and author = This poem was well wriiten, and I can fully understand exactly what the author is saying about her visions. A wonderful poem!
name = Suzanna Crean
Column_author = Blue Reincarnation Yustas Kotz-Gottlieb
Points = 5 points
opinion of the column and author = Sounds like Narcissus was self-absorbed to the max. You have some interesting insights into art...obviously. I have never seen the painting, but your descriptions of it engendered a vivid mind picture. It was almost as if I could see it...and that's a talent in itself. What do you do? Teacher? Critic? Artist?
I've been enthralled by so-called Pagan mythology since I was a child, so the subject matter of the painting you're discussing interested me. Add to this the fact that art is my first love, and I'm one of those people with what I suppose you could call "native talent"...like my mama stuck a crayon in my hand, and I drew something rather than making the mess most kids make.
I live and work in a place where the most common interests are fishing, car racing, and swapping recipes. We're talking Redneck City, here. I'm always fascinated when I discover somebody who is more on the same wave link with me. It's great to know there are people out there who can be interested in something besides each other.
name = Seth Caldwell
Column_author = Blue Reincarnation by Yustas Kotz-Gottlieb
Points = 5 points
opinion of the column and author = Where may I see one of these paintings? Are they conceptual images that you
write into imagination, or actual paintings? They interest me very much. Either you take them utterly seriously, or you have mastered the art of flabbergasting. Either way, it is very interesting for me to read.
name = Alice C. Bateman
Poem_author = January by Edie Miller
Points = 5 points
opinion of the poem and author = Wow, Edie, a very heavy poem, but with the absolutely right message. The only thing you'd have to do to carry on unhaunted is to mentally call up this person in your life, say 'I release you from my life and consciousness, I am free of you' and release them. Excellent work, thank you! I hope you become a regular!

Column_author = Blue Reincarnation by Yustas Kotz-Gottlieb
Points = 5 points
opinion of the column and author =
Replying only because of the inspirational concepts translated here for me in blues. Being a National Accredited Flower show judge and telling the story of the Narcissus many times I found with great interest this article you sent. I knew that I had your name written among Favorites for a reason although it has been some time since I read your last article. I must say I feel a definite lack of knowledge when reading such an articulatly
written article.
