Contributor News: Stephen Mead
Stephen Mead’s new book of art and poetry, “Our Book of Common Faith,” is now available from Amazon.com.
Mead says, “The book is an exploration of world cultures/religions (including atheism as a form of belief) as an impetus for union as opposed to violence. (That is, if human beings would just stop to think and reflect a bit.)”
See Mead’s art on Fickle Muses:
“Circus Cave Drawing”
“Tree Dream Encaustic”
“Ode to Vulcan”
