Arts Round Table

This page was launched June 1, 2008 and most recently updated Friday, August 08, 2008


  Inspired by my former Central Illinois Visual Arts Gallery (CIVAG) project,
       this new page was creatted to foster the same goals inspired by CIVAG while narrowing the focus of the enterprise.

      As it comes online June 1, 2008, I ask first time visitors to be patient with what     promises to be a long period of reconstruction of this site, using text and many images saved from the previous enterprise.


   CONTENTS
Arts Links
   -- arts organizations I'm familiar wtih, that have been kind to me OR are so competent and praiseworthy, it's not necessary for them to be kind to me.

Art Seen

The Photography of Job Conger

The Poetry of Job Conger
    -- I write poetry. Here are some of my recent poems and information about how to own my books of poetry.

The Poet Speaks
       I also present a "one man show" in the tradition of "Give 'Em Hell Harry" and Hal Holbrook as Mark Twain. Mine is about the life, times and poems of Springfield, Illinois citizen and poet Vachel Lindsay.

Recommended Reading
      Books sent to Job Conger for review are brought to your attention here. It's not a whitewash, but I write the reviews with a keyboard; not paintbrush and not a hatchet.  Maybe these reviews will open windows and opportunities and inspiration for you. Take a look and see what you think.

Vachel Lindsay pages
    -  I share pages of information and poems by and about Vachel Lindsay, photos of events at Vachel Lindsay Home State Historic Site and beyond, and news of interest to Vachel Lindsay fans.
