What’s New
For 2012, Chuck is recovering from his heart attack and working with comic artists on Savage Investigations, Rex Danger, Welcome to Pottsville, and more.
Chuck continues to enjoy his time with 7000 B.C., the New Mexico organization promoting sequential art for independent artists and writers.
Chuck is serving as a volunteer coordinator consultant (after being volunteer coordinator last year) for the 2nd Annual ABQ Comic Expo in June, 2012. This will be quite an event! Katie Larntz, Chuck’s daughter, is volunteer coordinator this year. if you are interested in being involved, which is a great experience you will treasure for the rest of your life, sign up at the ABQ Comic Expo Site.
Dominique is writing a poem each day as a meditation and posting them here (for better or worse!) in a series titled “Love Letters To My Body,” among other projects.
(Admittedly, Chuck’s heart attack put some crimps in my plans to post EVERY day and I have some large gaps now. I am going ahead and believing in my own excuse though. It’s a really good one!)
Also, Dominique has started writing a new nonfiction book titled “Nutrition at Every Size”–a fun book that helps you enjoy the day in a delicious, nutritious way exactly as you are right now. Check back for more information and excerpts soon.
Dominique’s poetry has recently been published in the Harwood Art Center’s 2011 Anthology! Join us on Saturday, April 21 for the release party at 3 PM. Check out more:
“The Harwood Art Center’s newest poetry Anthology, “How to: multiple perspectives on creating a garden, a life, relationships and community,” is a celebration of land, relationships, community, and heritage, all told through the metaphor of gardening.”
Breadmaker
I don’t know the reason
but there were many youthful years
when I could not be consoled,
and now all I need
in order to feel peaceful
is the hint that yeast exists
for the bread of joy to rise
from the core of my heels
to the crust of my hair.
The only gluten I can find
is your daily offering of love
that I have been
so lucky to discover,
kneaded faithfully
throughout the later decades
of this life that would be
unwise, bereft, and unbaked
but for the skillful addition of you.
–Dominique Larntz, 2012
