The Brooklyn Bridge: A Study in Greatness!
By John Stern, geologist and former tri-state senior planner, & Carrie Wilson, Terrain Gallery co-director.
"As you walk across the Brooklyn Bridge with the great vistas all about you, the cables have an embracing quality. There is human warmth: you feel secure without being closed in."

There's more: You'll not only learn why the power and grace of Brooklyn Bridge affects us--you'll also learn about what you're hoping for!

DO YOU AND THE WORLD AGREE?
A reenactment of an Aesthetic Realism Lesson conducted by Eli Siegel:

"Do people hope to feel, 'If there is any good in this world, I don't want my ego to stop me from seeing it'?"

POEMS ABOUT NEW YORK CITY
By Louis Dienes, Martha Baird, Sheldon Kranz, & Ellen Reiss

AESTHETIC REALISM LOOKS AT THINGS: DISCONTENT
Eli Siegel's lecture of 1952, so relevant today:

"At the present time, there is more conscious discontent than perhaps at any other time in the world's history. When people realize this, they will have to say, for their own protection: 'We've got to have people contented in this world, or there will be danger.'"
