Wednesday, September 11, 2013 by The Press in Focus
Who makes art? Not just artists. To be an artist, you don't have to be an artist.
Students at The Baum School of Art come from all walks of life. They do great things both inside and outside of The Baum School of Art, Fifth and Linden streets, Allentown.
They are doctors, lawyers, small business owners, home-makers, cancer survivors, teachers, retirees, high school students, athletes, corporate executives, musicians and more. Art plays an important role in who they are.

'The World's End' does not suffice
Wednesday, September 11, 2013 by PAUL WILLISTEIN in Focus
"It's the end of the world as we know it," to quote the 1987 R.E.M. rock song, and I was feeling fine until near the end of the movie "The World's End."
Then, as in so many movies nowadays, it seems all apocalypse breaks lose, and "World's End" ends in fire.
"Ice would suffice," to quote the 1920 Robert Frost "Fire and Ice" poem.
Instead, director Edgar Wright ("Shaun of the Dead," 2004; "Hot Fuzz," 2007; "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World," 2010), loses his cool.

Barbara Crooker's new book of poems inspired by the relationships of womenWhen Barbara Crooker handed me her new book of poems, "Gold," I flipped through the pages as she was talking to me. Then I realized that I didn't hear a thing she said. I couldn't stop reading. That's an endorsement.
Crooker will read poems and sign copies of "Gold," 7 - 8:30 p.m. Sept. 18, Allentown Public Library, 12th and Hamilton streets, Allentown. Cake will be served.
