Discussion Groups / English Usage / January 2010New Poems from Jan Sand
To AUE "members," especially the long-timers: Jan Sand has sent me some of his new/recent poetry and has also given his permission for it to appear on my Web Site/Home Page. If you've read any of Jan's writing before, you know what to expect: humor, depth, perhaps some whimsy, maybe some tears, and, very likely, some reflections of your own personal feelings. The poems can be found on six separate pages of my Web site. They are in very basic form at this point -- no fancy layouts, illustrations, etc. The URLs are: http://www.familyhomefront.net/JanSandNew.html http://www.familyhomefront.net/JanSandNew2.html http://www.familyhomefront.net/JanSandNew3.html http://www.familyhomefront.net/JanSandNew4.html http://www.familyhomefront.net/JanSandNew5.html http://www.familyhomefront.net/JanSandNew6.html One *cannot* reach those pages through the index on my Web site. The new pages are not yet indexed. Also: Jan is sending some of his art, and that will be featured on the Web site as soon as I can process it all. By the way, some earlier poems of Jan's can be found at: http://www.familyhomefront.net/JanSandOne.html http://www.familyhomefront.net/JanSandTwo.html Maria Conlon > To AUE "members," especially the long-timers: > [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > > Maria Conlon Thanks for that, Maria. Please pass on my best regards to Jan, I often remember our brief meeting in Helsinki and the excellent chocolate cake he made for me.

Please pass on my best regards to Jan, I often > remember our brief meeting in Helsinki and the excellent chocolate > cake he made for me. I should have mentioned that Jan is a former poster to AUE, as there are many people in the group who may not know that. He's in Helsinki now, as are his wife and his remaining son. He'll be 84 next month, by the way. And thanks for replying, Laura. I'll forward your regards to Jan. May I give him your email address?

Please let Jan know how much pleasure and reflection they inspire! all the best from Brussels (but Helsinki is one of my favourite places!) Stephanie > Dear Maria, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Stephanie Did you read the one entitled "Trance and Dental Medication"? I thought of you. (Yes, Maria, feel free to give him my email address.) SignatureLaura (emulate St. George for email) > Did you read the one entitled "Trance and Dental Medication"? I thought > of you. Yes, that reached me directly, the others also spoke very clearly to me but perhaps ever so slightly less immediately! S in B > To AUE "members," especially the long-timers: > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > Maria Conlon "Caution" was my favourite. What surprised me most is that much of it is written in a form that I would ordinarily deem to be pretentious twaddle fraudulently being fobbed off as Poetry under the protective tail-coats of the Art. So, I'm very surprised to see these and find that I, who have no training on such matters, can, nonetheless, recognise them as the real thing. Thanks for these Regarding this thread: I've asked Jan if it's okay to print his email address in the group. He's fine with that. The address is: <jiisand@gmail.com>. So, if any of you wish to email him directly, please do so. (I certainly won't mind being "dropped" as a "go-between.") Note: I'd already forwarded Laura's comment to Jan, but haven't forwarded the comments from Stephanie and Aquachimp yet.

It's value on the other hand is another matter.
