Site Progress Week of June 4, 2024

Bilingual BooksLire en FrançaisContact us

Dear readers and subscribers, I had a tremendously productive week immersing myself in the world of American, French, and Russian poetry. I’m exhilarated to share not only new poems in all three languages, but also to introduce you to the exquisite work of the esteemed French painter, Edgar Degas.

For the coming week, I have selected his mesmerizing painting “Dance Class (Ballet Class)” to feature, a piece that truly embodies the essence of his brilliance.

Our little baby crow now has the company of a relative found soaked and walking on the side of a four lane road trying to get on the sidewalk without success. Leaving it there unable to get back in the tall tree would have be a death sentence so I brough it home. As you can see he (yes I believe it is a male) is older, but also has a different character and eye color which make me believe they are not exactly the same species. The fun part is that even though she is half of his size she does protect me and her perch but they do play together and follow each other. (her ring are red, his is blue)

I’ll try to write and make a short video about out 2 rescued baby birds on Tuesday if they leave me alone 5 minutes…


Now let’s take a moment to appreciate Edgar Degas (1834– 1917), a truly influential French Impressionist artist known for his captivating pastel drawings and his ability to capture the spirit of movement in his oil paintings.

I warmly invite you to delve deeper into the world of Edgar Degas by exploring the very short biography of Edgar Degas, and hope that you will find something delightful to enjoy this week.
