Jon	Jul 2 2007 5:58 PM June 2007 Dear Members & Supporters of the Grosse Pointe Artists Association/Art Center, By now you’ve probably heard rumors that the City of Grosse Pointe Park has given the Grosse Pointe Artists Association notification to vacate the building we currently occupy on Jefferson and Maryland by the end of July 2007. This is a fact, not a rumor. For the record, we have always known this day would come. It was made clear years ago by the powers that be that these were temporary quarters. We look forward to this change, and a new home, with excitement and anticipation. We have a tremendous opportunity here for expansion and growth. We’re moving out and we’re MOVING UP! Where do we go? We have our sights set on purchasing the building on the corner of Kercheval and Lakepointe, currently occupied by Grosse Pointe Printing. It is a sound block structure with great (potential) curb appeal and visibility. It is quite large in comparison to our old facility and would allow for permanent classrooms, artists studios and Gallery Shop. The Mayor and the City Council have given it their blessing, and have even set aside money for a face lift. GPAA member Bill House has some wonderful sketches of the proposed interior and exterior. You’re welcome to view them All we need to do to make this property the new home of the glorious new, and improved, GPAA (Art Center) is to raise money. Not surprised are you? This letter is to officially notify one and all that we are in a major fund raising mode. Here is where we say thanks to GPAA members Frank & Carol Hennessey for giving us a swift kick in the New Building Fund by contributing $5,000. We will keep you informed of up-coming fund raising activities and events. Meanwhile you can make donations using the enclosed envelope. You can also make pledges and spread donations over any time period you’d like. We really need participation on a grand scale. The immediate and long term benefits to

Publisher	Feb 27 2007 7:28 PM MARICK PRESS INTRODUCES NEW AUTHORS APRIL 29 ‘The Dropped Hand’, ‘ Folding a River’ and ‘Father, Tell Me I Have Not Aged’ are publisher’s new books for Spring 2007 GROSSE POINTE PARK, Mich. – Marick Press, a literary publisher dedicated to poetry and fiction, will release its three new titles for Spring 2007, “The Dropped Hand” by author Terry Blackhawk, “Folding a River” by Kawita Kandpal and “Father, Tell Me I Have Not Aged” by Russell Thorburn. Marick Press was founded by Grosse Pointe Park, Mich., (Detroit area) writer Mariela Griffor, whose career has spanned from her birthplace of Concepcion, Chile, to Europe to the United States as a poet, journalist, activist and Director of the Urban Writer-in-Residence Program at Wayne State University. The Spring 2007 release will feature writers Terry Blackhwak, Kawita Kandpal and Russell Thorburn at the Tompkins Center located on 14920 Windmill Pointe Drive in Grosse Pointe Park. Terry Blackhawk’s poetry collections include Trio: Voices from the Myths (Ridgeway Press); Body & Field (MSU Press); Escape Artist (BkMk Press), winner of the 2002 John Ciardi Prize; and a Greatest Hits chapbook from Pudding House Press. “Death gains on us. It honors neither time nor place nor human quest for meaning. Its emblem might be, as it is in these fine elegies, a dropped hand of playing cards: ‘abrupt and final / silence.’ If that were all, the bravery of the poet would be much, but Terry Blackhawk wrests from this strict vista a powerful antithesis. With patience and wisdom and, above all, with love, she crafts the vessel that counters dissolution. It is poetry’s dream to do just this.” Linda Gregerson Kawita Kandpal’s Folding a River is an exploration of East-West cultures. In it, Kandpal’s lingual and cartographic explorations of these cultural landscapes takes her into a place not to be found on any map. “In her debut collection, Folding a River, Kawita Kandpal traces the shoreline of memory. Birds lift in and from these poems as all our margins of error are measured and re-measured. “I praise what endures,” one poem tells us, and here eden is remembered and re-imagined in all its bittersweetness. Haunted by other landscapes and other languages, Kandpal has written a new narrative of exile, a wish made from the sound of willows and the sound of hooves, a hum of longing, the song the bones sing: “tra la la to the flesh, tra la la…” Mary Ann Samyn, author of Purr. Father, Tell Me I Have Not Aged by Russell Thorburn is a memoir in poetry that draws upon childhood, love and loss, with a French turn to film, especially Truffaut, in explaining the human spirit. Russell Thorburn is the author of Approximate Desire (New Issues Poetry, 1999). His poems have appeared in a wide range of literary journals both on and off line, including Passages North, Poet Lore, Praire Schooner, Puerto del Sol, The Quarterly, Quarterly West, Sou'wester, Third Coast, Willow Springs and Witness. He has received a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship and has been awarded creative artist grants from the State of Michigan. In the words of poet and novelist Jack Driscoll, author of Lucky Man, Lucky Woman, “Russell Thorburn’s Father, Tell Me I Have Not Aged is as sure-footed and persuasive a poetry collection as I have come across in a long time. To say it both devastates and delights with its insights is simply to acknowledge the book’s depth and accuracy of emotion, its abiding humanity, and its vigorous pursuit of linguistic exuberance. I was not only moved by what I encountered in these poems, I was compelled. This is poetry of the first order.” Books scheduled for publication in the Fall 2007 include The Boy who Killed Caterpillars by Joshua Kornreich and Kathrina Poems by poet Katie Ford. Books by poets Peter Conners (Emily Ate the Wind), Derick Burleson (Never Night), Susan Kelly-DeWitt (The Fortunate Islands), and Sean Thomas Dougherty (The Blue City) are slated for publication in April 2008. A non-fiction book, Homage to Paul Celan by G.C. Waldrep is planned for Fall 2008. # # # Galley proofs are available upon request MARICK PRESS EVENTS THAT ARE COMING UP All events are open to the public Poets Follies at the Grosse Pointe Artists Association Art Center The Grosse Pointe Artists Association is pleased to feature Marick Press writers at its monthly poetry, literary and music gathering.
