Holiday event will be moving
I invite everyone to a holiday event at the Aesthetic Realism Foundation presented by the Aesthetic Realism Theatre Company -- with songs of the season and commentary by the performers, based on this principle of Aesthetic Realism stated by Eli Siegel, "All beauty is a making one of opposites, and the making one of opposites is what we are going after in ourselves." It's on Saturday night, Dec. 17, 8 PM, at the Aesthetic Realism Foundation, 141 Greene Street, off West Houston Street, in SoHo. You can make reservations by calling 212.777.4490, or seating is on a first arrival basis. There's a suggested contribution of $10.

Lynette Abel tells of Samuel Taylor Coleridge and others
Dear friends,
I want to tell you of a great website, that of Lynette Abel, a scholar, writer on women's issues, and one of the consultations coordinators at the Aesthetic Realism Foundation. It is http://www.lynetteable.org On this website she writes of classes she attended taught by poet and philosopher Eli Siegel, and reports written up of these classes. She writes of reports she includes:
"Freedom Is with Imagination," Nevertheless Poetry class given by Eli Siegel,
September 29, 1971. In it, he discusses Samuel Taylor Coleridge, including his great poem "Christabel," and Homer's Iliad, the translations of Richmond Lattimore, and Alexander Pope.
This is a report written by Paul Abel, musician, retired airline pilot, and my father. He studied Aesthetic Realism in classes with Eli Siegel in the 1970s. I am grateful to him for introducing me to this great education. In speaking to him recently, he told me he is so glad to have his report published on my website.
"Instinct and Mme de Sevigne,"a report by Lynette Abel on a class given by Eli Siegel, December 11, 1964, one in a series he gave on instinct.
I urge you to read this wonderful site, and see what's true about the intellectual education, Aesthetic Realism.
