”Writing comes like the wind. It’s naked, it’s made of ink, it’s the thing written, and it passes like nothing else passes in life, nothing more, except life itself.”

Marguerite Duras

then & now

Eugene Delacroix

“To me, literature is a calling, even a kind of salvation. It connects me with an enterprise that is over 2,000 years old. What do we have from the past? Art and thought. That’s what lasts. That’s what continues to feed people and give them an idea of something better.”

Susan Sontag

On poetry

“You want me to say it worse?”
…Robert Frost replied when asked what his poetry meant.

Light & Shadow by Jennifer Garza-Cuen

To delight & educate

Horace defined the aim of poetry as:

“aut delectare aut prodesse est” which translates as “either to please or to educate”.

Cy Twombly (American, b. 1928), Three Notes from Salalah, 2005-07

The Reno Salon aims to both delight and educate our participants by gathering together for food, wine and the sharing of our creative processes.
