Canopic Jar Links and Recommendations
Contributors to Canopic Jar, past and present,
are linked by name to their respective page within the Jar
Sites for the creatively unbound
- The paintings of Sarah
Hasty Williams are magnificent works of visual poetry, as her
contributions to Canopic
Jar #15 emphatically attest. Her website is a joy to
explore and offers the visitor the opportunity to procure prints and originals
of Sarah's splendid artwork.
- Alan
Phillips is one of Canopic Publishing's most cherished
friends and colleagues. His online art studio, (proudly yet humbly designed and maintained by
CP's Phil Rice) offers endless pleasantries for the windows of the soul. Visit
often.
- David
Greenberger's Duplex Planet
website offers excerpts from the brilliant Duplex Planet magazine, CDs
from the Duplex Planet Hour radio show (featuring music by NRBQ's Terry
Adams), the amazing series of CDs entitled Lyrics by Ernest Noyes
Brookings that feature a wide variety of notable musical acts performing
original music utilizing the words of Duplex Planet regular Ernie Brookings as
lyrics, plus other items—including books, comics, and videos—such as only
The Duplex Planet can inspire.
- Jonathan Talbot's
online Studio is entertaining and
educational, and it offers an extensive look at the artist's work. Talbot is a
true talent and his website is a valuable tour.
- Will D. Campbell: a man
of the word, is an excellent site maintained by the University of Southern
Mississippi on the man who is, according to Charles
E. Rice, "a Mississippi-bred, Yale-taught, guitar-strumming prophet."
Although Mr. Campbell is not directly involved with the online venture, the
website offers a thematic glimpse into the "bootleg" preacher's contributions
to theology, the Civil Rights Movement and American letters.
- Rethabile
Masilo, poet, linguist, literary scholar (etc.), and charter contributor
to Canopic Jar, has interesting blogs on Lesotho and Sesotho, and English. Rethabile's blogs,
particularly On Lesotho, are
valuable sites with a most unself-serving purpose - worth more than a quick
visit.
- Adeptly splitting his time between music and literature, Doug
Hoekstra's official website
offers not only info on the artist's career and latest endeavors but also
includes a healthy list of other web ventures to investigate.
-
Photographer Wayne T. Helfrich's online
gallery of photographs aptly demonstrate his superb eye for the
photogenic. His galleries include photos of Blues, folk, and bluegrass
artists, plus a generous assortment of herpetology and nature photos that are
a true delight. Helfrich is featured in the first posting of The Juke Jar.
- UK-based pennyblackmusic.com
features music news, articles, reviews, photography, discussion boards, and
more with an emphasis on indie labels and artists. The site is updated
regularly and definitely worth bookmarking for frequent visits.
Literary Journals, etc.
- Dreaming Methods, an online
magazine featuring digital fiction, is an interesting concept that makes use
of contemporary technology in a way that engages even worn-out book readers
like the guys who started Canopic Jar back in an earlier
century. Well-worth the electronic visit.
-
Jeannette
Harris created A Country
Rag, an online publication that explores and celebrates country,
especially Appalachian, culture through diverse poetry, short stories,
graphics, photography, topical essays, regional cuisine, and links.
-
Utahna
Faith is the flash fiction editor for 3am Magazine and also has the Utahna
Faith website.
-
Janet
Buck's web
page features information on her published work and provides links to many
worthwhile literary sites and magazines.
Resources for Writers and Readers
- Carroll Dale
Short's A Writer's Tool Kit
is one of the best online resources for writers available (and the book from
which sprang the website is a must-read for any writer or teacher of writing.
It is available online).
- The NewSouth Books website has
information on other books by Carroll Dale Short as well as hundreds of other
books with special care given to Southern authors and themes. There is also a
valuable resources and links page. The NewSouth bookstore is a must-see
landmark for anyone visiting or passing through Montgomery, Alabama.
- Corey
Mesler's Burke’s Bookstore in
Memphis, Tennessee is one of the country's oldest and best independent
bookstores, and it is also a fine website to visit.
Other Recommended Sites and Resources
- Writing, literature, technology, reality and others are what Susan of Spinning talks well about. Her weblog is
a mine of anecdotes and reviews, and writing intelligence. She has had a link
on her blog to Canopic Jar for ages. What we're also hoping
for, is a submission.
