Now it is based from spring to autumn on Dartmoor (Devon, England), a green land soaked in old Celtic myth -- and, during the winter months, in the Sonoran desert (Tucson, Arizona), a landscape colored by the living folklore of its Native and Mexican populations. Although originally a "one-woman shop," the Endicott Studio has grown in the last decade and now supports a variety of collaborative projects drawing upon the visions of mythic artists from both sides of the Atlantic."

Four days later, I received word that half a million people had viewed the site, and that it would be shut down because of the high traffic. I ended up hosting the presentation on my web site, reata.org where millions have viewed it and passed it on to their friends and family.

Starbuck Classical Poetry Port"The Starbuck Classical Poetry Port was inspired by a mystical memory which has haunted me ever since this foggy May night by the Corolla Lighthouse, which can be found just North of Duck, on the outer banks of North Carolina. The Lighthouse can be found there, while the memory resides here. Hoping to climb the spiral stairs in the Corolla Light, Misty and I had hopped the criss-cross wooden corrale fence so as to see if the door to the Light was unlocked. Not only was this a first date with a totally awesome girl, but it also happened on that same gothic night that I was introduced to Moby Dick. Now a lot of people might contend that Moby Dick is a novel, rather than a poem, but as of late I have been staying up to all hours of the morning studying the subject, and I say that Poetry is the music of the rational soul, the ultimate expression of the spirit's reality, and a mirror of the intangible, phantasmal essence of our existence. Poetry is found in all the magnificent works which define the fundamental words at the foundations of all our laws, convictions and conventions, our morality, our conscience, and our sense of divinity. Shelley himself declared that poets are the unacknowledged legislators of mankind, and I contend that one can find no noble milestones in history which were not preceded by the spoken or written work of an individual who had the courage to render a bold new vision in words. Though it is often endowed with rhyme and meter, poetry derives its everlasting glory from the depths of the profundities it preserves. Thus the classical poets, who we shall dedicate all the Classicals Inc. websites to, range in character from Shakespeare, to Plato, to St. Augustine, to Thomas Jefferson, to the Prophets, to Herman Melville, to Kipling, to Salinger. And though lacking corporeality, all Great Poetry is as solid and permanent as the rock of the eternal soul."
