The Art Box - Episode 127 - Life is a Joy - Meet Denis Feehan

We think one can define Denis Feehan as an unbound bundle of literary and musical energy. This is an episode that no one will want to end, Denis a Mesquite based author, actor, director, professor, poet and musician graces us with his infectious attitute talking about his art and of course his upcoming holiday special "Rocking and Singing Christmas" on December 2 at the Mesquite Theatre (150 North Yucca Street) with performamces at 3 and 7 pm. You can purchase tickets by clicking here.

Denis also invited others to join the writers group "Write on St. George" and you can click here to lean more.  

We also discussed a poem by Joyce Kilmer and we thought it fitting to include below.

Trees

BY JOYCE KILMER

I think that I shall never see

A poem lovely as a tree.

 

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest

Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast;

 

A tree that looks at God all day,

And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

 

A tree that may in Summer wear

A nest of robins in her hair;

 

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;

Who intimately lives with rain.

 

Poems are made by fools like me,

But only God can make a tree.
