A great site for those interested in carnivals, Carnivale, sideshows and all of that. They create individual galleries for artists with circus-related art. Check out the page they made for me, it includes some pieces not on the www.mnartists.org site.

Writing sites and blogs

Sites I use, people I studied with. Useful sites for book lovers.

The Loft, Minneapolis MN

My writing alma mater. Studied with Linda Lightsey Rice (author of Southern Exposure) among others.

The New York Times Book Review

You just have to read it every week, even if it’s painful.

Book Forum

A refreshingly different book review. A bit lighter on preachy politics, a bit heavier on quirky and art-related books

The New York Review of Books

A bit of an agenda on saving the world, but what are you gonna do?

Amazon.com

Particularly good–used books!

T.C. BoyleA great site of a writer I admire. I once heard him read in St Paul and had to laugh that he gave the audience tips on reference books for writing about hippies (for his novel Drop City) and I wanted to shout out: I was there! But I let the impulse pass.

Ian McEwan

Still, even with stumbles, one of my favorite authors. I once met him at a book signing in Minneapolis and told him I saw the adaptation of his film, The Cement Garden. He said, “Really? I think you’re the only one.”

Scarletta Press

New publishing house by my old writing instructor and mentor, Ian Leask (author of The Wounded).

Mark Wisniewski

Great writer, editor, coach and friend

Southampton Writers Conference

I’m not big on these conferences, but I attended this one in 2005 and won the award for fiction. My teacher was Melissa Bank (The Wonder Spot, The Girls’ Guide to Hunting and Fishing) who was very funny and informative.

The Well

Best American Fiction, last 25 years (New York Times)

Barnes and Noble

“Pictures Worth a Thousand Words”

C.B.Murphy — Thu, 26 Apr 2007 14:02:03 +0000

Ken Bloom, curator of Duluth’s Tweed Museum, has selected C.B. Murphy’s painting LECTURE ON HUMANS to be included in his digital collection for his guest curatorial assignment for this month’s access+ENGAGE publication.

“This issue of access+ENGAGE (Issue #16.2) explores the tangle of meanings that lie beneath the surface of words and shared icons. The Tweed Museum of Art‘s Ken Bloom, our guest curator for this issue’s Mashup collection, has assembled some illuminating juxtapositions of artwork united by a willingness to gaze directly into the chasm that separates polite consumer fictions from the occasional horrors of real experience. ” from access+ENGAGE (Issue #16.2)

access+ENGAGE is a monthly digital publication of mnartsts.org. (Look up C B Murphy to see more of my paintings on this site).
