In A More Beautiful World Gallery
House of Pleasures: Paintings by Eliza M. Schmid
Now extended through May 28!
Eliza
Schmid, a classically trained psychoanalyst, spins stories in her
paintings that are whimsical, tragicomical and grotesque, often about
abnormal, surrealist mental conditions that are yet tellingly
emblematic of our so-called "normal" times. Her previous show several
years ago was one of the most popular ever in our gallery. Don't miss
this show of new work, which brings in fresh elements of witchcraft and travel. Call before coming just to be sure we're here!

school clubs, scout troops and other groups, in
picking neighborhood fruit and avocado trees. We are looking for:

People in Los Angeles are hungry! The SoRo Green Team drops off all fruit collected to our local food bank: SOVA FOOD BANK, 8846 W Pico Bl. In Feb, we picked over 700 pounds of fruit in 2 days!

We had such a rich discussion about the first three
stories in Joseph Epstein's Fabulous Small Jews that we decided to continue the conversation with the remainder of the stories in this collection. Epstein is an evocative, enigmatic storyteller whose portraits of people and families in emotional trouble are sure to stimulate powerful memories and feelings.

| Poetry Plus Hosts Barry Smolin | |
Thursday,
May 20 at 7 pm
POETRY PLUS, hosted
by Uncle Ruthie Buell
welcomes
guest poet Barry Smolin
BARRY SMOLIN, teacher, broadcaster, songwriter,
poet, joins us on May 20. Many Southern Californians (especially you
Grateful Dead fans) may already be listeners to his popular Sunday night
radio program The Music Never Stops, heard on KPFK (90.7
FM) Sundays from 8-10 p. The Los Angeles Times has already
spotlighted Barry for his creative projects in the English Department at
Hamilton High School. As for his poetry and songs, that will be a brand new
experience for all of us "Poetry Plussers." And, as a special treat,
Barry will bring with him a few of his talented poets from Hamilton High.
Everybody
welcome! Feel free to bring
a friend--we love and need new people! No
reservations required, just come.
.....On a sadder and different note, Poetry Plus has lost a very
loyal and talented member, Paula Newhorn (Hirschhorn), a wonderful poet and
author. By way of celebrating her life, perhaps all those who knew her (and
even those who didn't) might bring in a few lines, original or by a favorite
poet, dealing with death, loss, memories.

Call us at 310.552.2007. Thanks!

| In Other News... | We have a winner of The Revolution Is Just a T-Shirt Away Quilt! The drawing was held on Monday, April 26. The lucky winner is AR member Bill Gregory of Santa Clarita! Mazl tov! And thank you to all who participated, as curators, t-shirt donors, and raffle ticket purchasers. Many people asked us who made our beautiful quilt, because they have t-shirts they'd like to magically transform into an equally historic and unique heirloom of their own. We're happy to give them a plug: Campus Quilt in Louisville, KY.
We gratefully acknowledge a substantial bequest to AR SoCal from Daisy Coleman, which we received this week. Daisy often attended our Seders and our Rosh Hashone and Yom Kipur programs. Her generosity is most deeply appreciated.
