Info/Links

This page is a potpourri of information and writing. The intention is to let you know about events (public appearances) and other News, and share Reviews, Reflections, Essays, and Lectures with you. I also want to link you to special people and sites.

Recently, I have gone back to writing as a "culture witness" -- reviewing cultural, artistic events. You can find my commentary, "Renate Stendhal Reviews", at www.scene4.com (check the Archives and Blogs).
