MODERNPrimitive
Webster’'s New World
Dictionary defines
“primitive” as “of or
existing in the
beginning or earliest
times or ages; original,”
or, in the context of
primitive art as,
“characteristic or
imitative of the earliest
ages.” And so the
description of Mary
Candelario as a
primitive artist is an
accurate one. Her work
has both a child-like
qualityof the ancients,
with bright colors and
elementary renderings,
and a timelessness of
subject and mood.

“The other window, the win
dow I forgot, is small and round
and in my father’s studio. The
glass is yellow nicotine with light
that shines a golden circle on the
varnished wooden floor. Every
minute he’salive my father stands
there now, even in the afternoon,
painting with a blindfold on.”
My guessis, it’s silky and invit
ing, a story to hide in. If you're
curious enough to find out, go to
this month’s installment of the
Evening With the Author Series
at the Ergo Sum Gallery and
hear it read by the author, Paul
Sladky, who teaches at Augusta
College. Its title is “The Place I
live.”
But wait — there’s poetry too.
Martin Kirby is a professor at
Paine College, whose formsrange
from haiku to epic poems, char
acterized by a mixture of cyni
cism and tenderness. This is a

My students never believe me
When I tell them
That I am really a teachoid

Beamed from Universal Con

To radiate enlightenment
On this pathetic, provincial lit

So that its dominant species
Might aspire to join
The Universal Council of Sen

In less than the rich plethora
Of Standard Eternity Units
It would otherwise require.
Heh. Heh.
