“We can't always choose which mess we end up in, but we can try to grow wings on the way down.” @andy.claussen’s oil painting ‘Is someone out there?’ is pure joy for all lovers of expressive textures, vibrant colours and striking contrasts. Andy explores topics like environmental change and the uncertainty of the future, represented with a big dash of humour and sarcasm. — #beautifulbizarre #andyclaussen #painting #oilpainting #inspiration #artist #art #contemporaryart #newcontemporary #artcommunity #environment #earth #nature #future https://www.instagram.com/p/CqQ5BgCAB3e/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

She went on to publish more than a dozen books of poetry while roaming the world on spiritual quests that included treks in the Himalayas and two years as a hermit on the Isla del Sol on Lake Titicaca in Bolivia. “Tracking the Serpent,” a kind of feminist “On the Road,” chronicled her visits in the 1980s to matriarchal power sites in the Amazon, Nepal, France and Britain.  … Black Sparrow Press published her most recent poetry collections, “Mad Dogs of Trieste” (2000) and “The Green Piano” (2005). • #janinepommeyvega #citylightsbooks #andyclaussen #trackingtheserpent #beatgeneration #womenofthebeatgeneration #womenwriters #girlpower #citylightsbooks #blacksparrowpress (at Woodstock, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO_WQM8hVIP/?igshid=1qtuui642orwb
