Vote! and Stuff

Our latest issue of Swamp Lily Review is available for your reading pleasure. We have some wonderful artists, photographers and poets in this issue. We’re focusing on an annual happening in our area called Vision/Verse.

Vision/Verse is an interesting event that reinforces the bond between the literary and visual arts by examining the role of inspiration in art, particularly how poetry can inspire art and how art can influence poetry. Read the editor's note, then click on Issue 2, Number 2 to meet our contributors.

 

Second: The Bayou Writers’ Group will host their annual conference on November 10th.  If you’re interested in a small, intimate conference in Lake Charles, Louisiana, then get more information and a list of speakers by clicking on this link.  Hope to see you there!

We voted today. We drove 10 hours to do so, because we can’t vote on November 2nd. We believe voting is one of our most important rights and responsibilities. I have family members who don’t vote, but they sure gripe about everything that happens in our country. I always wonder why they grumble when they’re willingly relinquishing their voice, their right to choose leaders and representatives. I guess it makes more sense to them than it does me. Sometimes we believe our vote isn't important. That's not true. Every vote counts.

I hope you go to the polls--rain or shine.

Have a great weekend!

 

RE-ELECT RANDY ROACH!

Today is election day. It's a scary day for many of us here in Lake Charles, so prayers are going up for our mayor, Randy Roach.

Randy is the best mayor any city can have. He's a trustworthy man who deeply cares about Lake Charles and every individual in our city. He cares about doing right. Randy thinks about what's best for us when he makes decisions that will affect us ... he remembers our children and our grandchildren. Randy plans for future generations.

Randy Roach is a TRUE hero in the very best sense of the word. I know most of my 'followers' don't live in LC but I'll ask each of you to say a prayer right this second, that Randy Roach is re-elected. Thanks! ~jess
