who we are

a literary culture is any community in which the written and spoken word is recognized for its transformative power.

we are that community.

sure, we like literature. but we also like poetry. and music. and dance. and art. and photography. we like it all, and here we can talk about it all. here, (almost) anything goes.

museo del prado

The absolutely phenomenal Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain, has collaborated with Google Earth to create photos of some of the museum's most well-known masterpieces. The resolution on these paintings is tremendous; you can see every brushstroke and tear drop as clearly as if you were standing in front of the painting. I went to the Prado last fall, but seeing these images so closely and clearly is a completely different level of experience altogether. If you have ANY interest in art, please look at this masterpiece of 21st century technology.
