Save the Date: 2024 Total Solar Eclipse

On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will travel through Mexico, cross the United States from Texas to Maine, and exit North America along Canada’s Atlantic coast. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth, completely blocking the face of the Sun. The sky will darken as if it were dawn or dusk.

Weather permitting, people throughout most of North and Central America, including all of the contiguous United States, will be able to view at least a partial solar eclipse. A partial solar eclipse is when the Moon only covers part of the Sun. People in Hawaii and parts of Alaska will also experience a partial solar eclipse. Click here to learn more about when and where the solar eclipse will be visible: go.nasa.gov/Eclipse2024Map

It's The Way - a poem by Paul Vincent Cannon

Photo: videohive.com “After all, there’s no need to say anything” Rita Dove It's The WaySometimes it's the way,like the way she ran her finger round the rim of the glass,the way she swirled her tongue aroundher fingernot missing a drop,nothing was said, butI knew the meaning ofevery word she offered,her energy penetrated my mood so completely it disturbed my equilibrium.

Stray Bands - a poem by Paul Vincent Cannon

At dVerse Melissa is hosting poetics with an invitation to write an ekphrastic poem using one of four paintings by Emil Nolde. The double challenge is to do so knowing the artist originally declaimed his connection to the NAZIs but was eventually outed as having been involved in the NAZI party. Note: There are a number of famous people who fit into this type of moral dilemma – Martin Heidegger…
