NATIONAL POETRY MONTH BITZ
Sara Teasdale (August 8, 1884 – January 29,
1933), was an American lyrical poet.
She was born Sara Trevor
Teasdale in St. Louis, Missouri, and after her marriage in 1914 she went by the name Sara Teasdale Filsinger.[1]
Sara Teasdale was born on August 8, 1884 . She had poor health for most of her life, and
it was only at age 14 that she was well enough to begin school. In 1898 she began attending Mary
Institute, but switched rapidly to Hosmer Hall in 1899, where she finished in 1903.
Teasdale's first poem was published in Reedy's
Mirror, a local newspaper, in 1907. Her first collection of poems, Sonnets to Duse and Other Poems,
was published that same year.
Teasdale's second collection of poems, Helen of Troy and Other Poems,
was published in 1911. It was well received by
critics, who praised its lyrical mastery and romantic subject matter.[2]
In the years 1911 to 1914, Teasdale was courted
by several men, including poet Vachel
Lindsay, who was absolutely in love with her but did not feel that he could
provide enough money or stability to keep her satisfied. She chose instead to
marry Ernst Filsinger, who had been
a fan of her poetry for a number of years, on December
19, 1914 .
Teasdale's third poetry collection, Rivers to the Sea, was
published in 1915 and was a best seller, being reprinted several times. A year
later, in 1916 she moved to New
York City with Filsinger,
where they resided in an Upper
West Side apartment on
Central Park West.
In 1918, her poetry collection Love Songs (released 1917) won three awards: the Columbia University Poetry Society prize, the 1918 Pulitzer Prize for poetry and the annual prize of the Poetry Society of America.
Filsinger was away a lot on business which caused
a lot of loneliness for Teasdale.[3] In 1929, she moved interstate for
three months, thereby satisfying the criteria to gain a divorce. Post-divorce,
Teasdale remained in New York City
In 1933, she committed suicide by overdosing on
sleeping pills.[4] Her friend Vachel Lindsay had
committed suicide two years earlier. She is interred in the Bellefontaine Cemetery in St. Louis
A common urban
legend surrounds Teasdale's
suicide. The legend claims that her poem "I Shall Not Care" (which
features themes of abandonment, bitterness, and contemplation of death) was
penned as a suicide note to a former lover. However, the poem was actually
first published in her 1915 collection Rivers

THE BIG A&E STORY THIS WEEK IS:
President Barack Obama made
Time Magazine’s 9th Annual
100 Most Influential in the World List
that was published Wednesday.
The list features 54
international figures from 37 countries and also includes several
controversial figures, such as Syrian President Bashar Assad, North Korean
Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un and Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar.
It's divided into five
categories: Moguls, Breakouts, Icons, Pioneers and Leaders.
There are 38 women on the
2012 Time 100 -- more than ever before.
Whatever anti-Obamites
may say, POTUS still has an influence, his historical merit alone and his
popularity in enormous outside of the U.S.
Rocker
and gun advocate Ted Nugent came under scrutiny after making incendiary
comments about the U.S. St Louis
He
said "If Barack Obama becomes the president in November again, I will
either be dead or in jail by this time next year," he said. "If you
can't go home and get everybody in your lives to clean house in this vile,
evil, America-hating administration, I don't even know what you're made
of."
In
response to Nugent's remarks, Secret Service spokesman Brian Leary in a
statement, "We are aware of the incident with Ted Nugent, and we are
conducting appropriate follow-up." He added, "We recognize an
individual's right to freedom of speech but we also have a responsibility to
determine and investigate intent."
Nugent is looking forward to meeting with the
Secret Service over his recent comments about President Barack Obama. Revealing
that he will be interviewed by the agents on Thursday, April 19, the rock
guitarist told conservative radio host Glenn Beck, "I will be as polite
and supportive as I possibly can be, which will be thoroughly."
"We
actually have heard from the Secret Service, and they have a duty, and I salute
them. I support them and I'm looking forward to our meeting tomorrow," the
63-year-old rocker said Wednesday. Though joking, "We're going to have a
little barbecue get together," he noted, "I'm not trying to diminish
the seriousness of this, because if the Secret Service are doing it they are
serious."
Well, we
are not surprised with Nugent’s antics (his crazy as hell persona has been his
m.o. since the 1970s) but with the very volatile state of the Secret Service
and the Columbian prostitute scandal, they jumped on this to skew attention
from them. And besides, what Nugent said implies that he wants to do harm to
the President.
UPDATE: Nugent has been cleared of any wrongdoing from the Secret service and will receive no jail time.
Springfield, Mo raised
and Oscar nominated actor Brad Pitt gathered
his six kids recently as he presented his GF Angelina
Jolie with a tablet-shaped
diamond engagement ring -- estimated at 16 carats and worth $500,000 -- which
he helped design with jeweler Robert Procop.
"Angelina cried and
smiled" at the proposal, a confidante tells the new Us
Weekly, out now.
And the children, who had
been extremely eager for their parents to wed after seven years together, were
equally overjoyed, the source adds. "Everyone hugged once she put [the
ring] on. She went around and showed it to each of the kids."
Jolie, 36, quietly
debuted that long-awaited ring at an April 11 private viewing at the Los
Angeles County Museum of Art, with startling photos and a confirmation from jeweler Procop and then Pitt's
manager emerging two days later.
"Angie considers
herself bonded to Brad for life," adds the source.
Although their wedding date has not yet
been set, insiders are speculating about where the couple will finally say, “I
do.”
In a few months, Jolie is headed to the United Kingdom
But even though it looks like the couple
will be spending a lot of time in England United Kingdom
"The most likely location is their
French château, where privacy laws are much more harsh," a source close to
Jolie tells me. " This
will be a small, private affair with close friends and family. The children
will be involved in the ceremony and most certainly Brad’s ex-wife Jennifer
Aniston will not be invited."
…And we
turn the page. LOL. As long as they have been a couple and the children they
have adopted and conceived, the ring seems a bit anti-climactic. But when they finally wed, it will be a witch hunt trying to get that pic of them in "rice throwing" bridal bliss.
The First Lady Michelle Obama is
continuing on her TV show blitz speaking on her Let’s Move Initiative, but it
was her prom pic, that has generated some news recently. She revealed it to Ellen DeGeneres during a taping of the TV
host's show that aired this week. Ellen and Michelle chatted via
videocam with a group of teenage girls whose parents are in the military. Three
of the girls were given a gift: a $250 gift card to J.C. Penney (Ellen's store of choice) that they can use for their
upcoming proms.
And on the subject of proms... FLOTUS and Ellen decided to engage
in a fantastic photo swap. First Ellen revealed her dress, a head-to-toe plaid
creation that "was a tablecloth at one point," joked the host.
Then came the big reveal: Michelle Robinson's
oh-so-Seventies prom dress, complete with a metallic gold jacket and a insanely
sexy slit up the left side
.
"That split was a little high,"
admitted Michelle as the high school girls cheered. "I don't know if I'd let
my kids go out in a split that high."
Even back then, FLOTUS was a fashionista
and from the likes of the pic, barely aged. But we must say, that split is a
bit high, but hey, it was the 1970s. Our question is, what is her prom date
doing these days? Because he has instant fame from the retro pic. LOL
In unrelated FLOTUS newz, she is on the cover of the May issue of Ebony Magazine.
Last week we reported that it was speculated that Chicago reared
rapper Kanye West and media mogul Kim Kardashian was a couple and that he
called her as his Beyonce (It was even parodied on last Saturdays “Saturday
Night Live” with Jay Pharaoh as Ye of course). But Ye broke his silence this
week when he cleared up things on him referring to Kardashian as "my
Beyoncé."
After admitting
to having feelings for the
socialite on his new track,”Theraflu” there's been much speculation about the status
of their relationship, but he seemed appalled at thought of
comparing Kim K to Beyonce.
West broke that silence on Tuesday (April 17) to US Magazine, to deny ever referring to Kardashian
as "my Beyoncé."
"Of course there are a lot of media inaccuracies surrounding
this past couple of weeks, especially the 'She's my Beyoncé' quote," West told the magazine. "I would never compare anyone
to my friend's wife." West's whirlwind romance with the recently-divorced
Kardashian, has been a staple of the tabloid press for the past few weeks.
Kanye said the overheated
hype machine has gotten ahead of itself.
"Come on now, that doesn't even sound like me," West said about
the alleged Beyoncé comparison, which Us originally
reported, attributing it to an unnamed source close to the MC. "If I don't say something in a
rap or on Twitter, it's not true."
Of course, he has already
set his crush to verse in the tune "Way Too Cold" (formerly known as "Theraflu"?),
where he rhymes, "I fell in love with Kim around the same time she fell in
love with him."
Like I said last week, this is all hype for press time. Ye and Kim K are part of the media circus that they have become ringmasters of. If they smashin’ or NO, they both understand the media machine and create buzz for themselves.

Oddly enough
media mogul Oprah Winfrey didn’t make Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential in
the World list this year, a first in its ninth year of existence. In other O newz, from reports it looks like
Oprah Winfrey and her under-the-radar boyfriend Stedman Graham are finally
ready to take their relationship to the next level and tie the knot, but
there’s a catch.
The National
Enquirer has reported that the wedding will be televised in an effort to save
the free-falling Oprah Winfrey Network from a disastrous year-end loss (said to
be upwards of $140 million!).
In addition to
all-access coverage of the ceremony, OWN plans to make a multi-part series on
the bride and grooms’ activities leading up to the wedding and is even flirting
with the idea of filming the honeymoon, which is believed to span the globe.
Stedman will reportedly
be rewarded for his unrelenting loyalty with a $100 million pre-nuptial
agreement, according to reports.
It has not been
confirmed whether or not Oprah plans on changing her name, but industry
insiders believe she will keep her name as is in order to remain consistent
with the network, which bears her initials.
The wedding will
reportedly take place in fall of 2012, according to The National Enquirer and
is expected to rival anything the world has seen on television to this point.
Viewers will even have a chance to enter to win an all expenses paid trip to
the ceremony.
Hmm,, but the question
is, “Is this all true?” I mean, it is the Inquirer, but they have been on the
money breaking a lot of stories (Michael Jacksons death, John Edwards mistress
scandal). If it is, it will be a monumental moment for sure!
++++++++++++++++++++++
And in more Oprah
newz, she signed on to star in a new movie USA Today reported recently that
Winfrey will play a "big role" in the upcoming Lee Daniels film, The
Butler.
"It's a true story of a man who served several decades in the White House," Daniels was quoted as saying. "Forest [Whitaker] plays the butler who serves
many presidents and Oprah plays his wife."
"It's a true story of a man who served several decades in the White House," Daniels was quoted as saying. "
An
appearance in Daniels' movie would be her first return to the silver screen
since 1998's Beloved.

Acclaimed
author and “Waiting to Exhale” extraordinaire, Terry McMillan, recently told
the Huffington Post that she is happy Oprah is being considered for a role in
the book-to-film sequel. While it’s still up in

65-Year-old Merle said that until Wednesday's news conference,

financial advisors and the lawyer with whom they've been meeting.
"I was retired. It looks like I have

analyst said.
They are very happy and thankful for the chance to play and to have
won their share of the jackpot.

In
unrelated Kathy newz, she told USA Today that she believes that she has been
banned by the Today Show. She
said, "I just want you to know, over the years since Suddenly Susan in 1996, I have been banned and
re-banned from the Today show by several people. Katie
Couric at one point. Matt Lauer at one point. This time my camp heard that it
was actually Natalie Morales -- who is on the show, I don't even know if she's
the co-host, I think she reads the news,". Why? "What I heard from their team is that I was rude to
her at the Golden Globes. Which is funny because I didn't go to the Golden
Globes."
But now, Today tells
us that it's not true.
"The idea that TODAY show anchors and hosts ban guests from
appearing on the show is silly," the show says in a statement. "There
was no incident between Natalie and Kathy at the Golden Globes or anywhere
else. In fact Natalie is a big fan of Kathy's."
One thing
is certain Kathy Griffin knows how to press folks buttons and knows how to get
her name out there. And we think the Today Show sent out that statement to not

And speaking of “The
Soul Man:, East St Louis
THE OTHER BIG STL STORIES:
ST Louis had three big events poppin off last weekend.
FIRST
St Louis Cards
pitcher Adam Wainwright turned in the worst home-field performance of his
six-year career, giving up eight runs in three innings as the Chicago Cubs
spoiled the St. Louis Cardinals' sold out home opener with a 9-5 victory on
Friday.
Wainwright's
first start at home since Sept. 19, 2010, was a total mess from the get-go and
tied his worst ever from a statistical standpoint.
That his outing
unraveled moments after the pregame pomp and circumstance that featured
91-year-old Hall of Famer Stan Musial waving from a golf cart amid a standing
ovation, and that a standing room crowd waited patiently through a rain delay
of one hour and 44 minutes before it began only magnified the failure.
Clad in red
sportcoats, fellow Hall of Famers Lou Brock, Bob Gibson, Red Schoendienst,
Whitey Herzog, Ozzie Smith and Bruce Sutter toured the Busch Stadium warning
track on the back of flatbed trucks. The franchise showed off its four World
Series trophies, held by members of the 1967, 1982 and 2006 teams.
Players got the
same treatment, accompanied by an endless rendition of the Budweiser beer song.
There was a moment of silence for former star pitcher Bob Forsch as a bald
eagle circled the field, and two F-16s did a flyover.
The St. Louis
Cardinals also presented the 2011 World Series Championship rings to players
during an on field ceremony before this afternoon's game at Busch Stadium. The
2011 World Series ring symbolizes the team's 11th World Championship while
paying tribute to the 10 Cardinals championships that preceded it. The rings
were delivered earlier in the week by Jostens, a leading designer and producer
of custom championship jewelry
The top of the
ring features the classic Cardinal bird-on-bat crafted out of faceted red
rubies and surrounded by a 14 karat yellow gold frame that brings out the deep
red color in the authentic rubies. The rest of the ring is made of 14 karat
white gold. Surrounding the bird on top is a field of 103 round diamonds. The
words "WORLD CHAMPIONS" frame the iconic insignia with diamonds set
behind words which is a first in championship ring design.
One ring side
features the player's name, jersey number and a ruby-filled "StL"
emblem surrounded by the World Series leaf treatment that was used in the 2011
version of the MLB Fall Classic logo. This ring side also features the
"Rally Squirrel" jumping over home plate which was a positive omen to
players and fans in last year's playoffs.
The opposite side
of the ring features Busch Stadium's Gate 3 bridge including the famous Musial
Statue underneath with a ruby-embellished "11" sitting above the
phrase "World Series Titles". The years 1926, 1931, 1934, 1942, 1944,
1946, 1964, 1967, 1982 and 2006 are displayed on the bottom shank of the ring
to give prominence to the team's 10 previous World Series titles and connect
this year's team with the earlier Cardinals World Series champion teams.
Meanwhile. the Cardinals extended their winning streak to a season-high four games Wednesday night with an 11-1 rout of the slumping Cincinnati Reds at an away game. The Cards will play The Reds at home at Busch Stadium Thursday night.

AND
Presidential candidates Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich made appearance
at the National Rifle Associations convention (which close to 60,000 attendees attended) which took place at the Edward
Jones Dome St Louis over the weekend.
 |
Romney began his
24-minute speech by calling his wife "a hero" and "my
sweetheart," adding: "I happen to believe all moms are working
moms."
Ann Romney praised
working fathers as well as mothers, then left the stage to her husband and his
appeal to the gun-rights group.
Mitt Romney told the
group: "We need a president who will stand up for the rights of hunters,
sportsmen, and those seeking to protect their homes and their families.
President Obama has not; I will."
Romney told the National
Rifle Association that President Barack Obama is not protecting gun owners –
even though the topic has rarely arisen during his time in office. Without
offering details, Romney said that Obama would like to erode gun owners'
rights.
The gathering of gun
enthusiasts comes as Romney, the presumptive GOP nominee, is trying to woo
conservative groups to consolidate his base after fending off challengers on
his right. His relationship with gun owner groups is uneasy.
|
Gingrich told the group’s annual
convention, that they have been much too timid and moderate in its defense of
gun rights. If elected president, he said, he will “submit to the United
Nations a treaty that extends the right to bear arms as a human right for every
person on the planet because every person on the planet deserves the right to
defend themselves from those who would oppress them, those would exploit them,
rape them or kill them.”
“Let’s take the George Soroses and the Hillary
Clintons head on,” Newt said to the cheering crowd. “They represent a world in
which elites disarm the rest of us so we are then helpless when elites turn
sour and when evil reappears.”

CELEB SITE:
Meanwhile, Gingrich made even bigger newz when he got bit by a penguin at the St. Louis Zoo prior to speaking to the NRA. According to stltoday.com, he visited the zoo last Friday
morning before his speech to gun owners.
While on a private tour
that included a visit with the zoo's penguin collection, one of the amphibious
birds took a bite at his digit.
Gingrich told reporters in North Carolina on Saturday about
his beak encounter in St. Louis, which was confirmed by the zoo on Monday.
"During that visit,
as Speaker Gingrich indicated in an interview with a national media outlet, he
was nipped on the finger by a penguin," zoo public relations director Susan
Gallagher said in
a statement. "A band-aid took care of the injury."
The culprit was one of the
two Magellanic
penguins in the zoo’s
care.
The zoo, according to its web page, allows individuals on paid
private tours to get "up close and personal" with the two birds.
The two-hour tour taken by
Gingrich also included stops at Big Cat Country, the Fragile Forest and the
Herpetarium, the zoo said.
Hmm, the penguins must have been Democrats. LOL

KMOV TV journalist Larry
Conners had the opportunity to interview {resident Obama. Conners said in a
recent newscast that
"The President asked me to the White House so he could push the Warren
Buffet bill."
Conners reportedly took
the opportunity of the one-on-one with Obama to tell him that "viewers are
complaining ... they get frustrated and even angered when they see the First
Family jetting around different vacations and so forth, sometimes maybe they
think under the color of state business and that you’re out of touch, you
really don’t know what they’re experiencing right now."
After challenging the
premise of the question, Obama reportedly never directly answered it.
According to an unnamed white
Huse source, "Beltway reporters often complain that the White House
arranges interviews with regional news outlets to generate softball questions
for the commander in chief. The episode with KMOV proves that the same risks
and challenges attach to any interview that the president agrees to
conduct."

According to a
report from stltoday.com, East St Louis Mayor
Alvin Parks said Thursday he would continue to allow late-night liquor sales in
his city, despite sharp criticism from U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, an East St Louis
native.
Durbin came to
the city last week and, for the second time this year, called for Parks to end
the city's late-night liquor sales, which he called "an invitation for
more murders, more crime."
Parks reportedly said
he wants to collaborate with Durbin and respects his position as one of the
Senate's highest-ranking officials.
"We're not
here to burn him, we need Senator Durbin," Parks said. "I respect the
man and his position."
Parks stood by his position on liquor sales. Parks
said the club and liquor businesses are among the few viable industries in the
city. He said forcing liquor sales to end at 1 a.m. would destroy jobs and decrease tax
revenue. He said it would kill at least 10 businesses immediately.

Holdings (which filed for bankruptcy in October).
Last month, Steve Roberts reportedly resigned from board of
