Shoga Treats
Every month for every newsletter we create a video, either from scratch or sampled from various sources, on our monthly theme. It can be "Homo For the Holidays" at Christmas or a multimedia meditation on Richard Bruce Nugent's "Smoke, Lilies and Jade" or a stop on the Queer Harlem Renaissance Walking Tour or anything at all ... anything that strikes our fancy. The focus may be narrow, but the ambition is large, and every Treat can be a revelation. “To see a World in a Grain of Sand/And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,/Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand/And Eternity in an hour."
