Encourage yourself, encourage others

by Jon Katz

  Bedlam Farm was created as a place of encouragement, and despite some derailments, it remains one. We are publishing Mary Kellogg’s second book of poetry in a couple of months, called “Whistling Woman.” Also Corinna Aldrich’s photographer. I believe most of us have creative works inside of us – books, poems, paintings, fiberworks – and are often too frightened, discouraged, or distracted to get them out.
  Get them out. Send your signal to the world, that your work, life and stories are important, and deserve to be heard. I’m going to Mary Oliver country this weekend, her lovely refrain ringing always in my ears: Put your lips to the world. And live.
