In this, my new color edition (October, 2016) of Double Vision II: Living A Poet's Life in Paint, Photo and Word, I offer fresh paintings plus new and revised narrative poems in paint, photo and word, abstract and conventional, of art and making art, of seeing and feeling human nature, of time and place, of real people in shadow and light, broken and bold, doubling down to make life work - a vet wrapped in an army blanket pleading for help on the Supreme Court building steps, a tearful woman walking the Seattle mist begging for travel money to Idaho, a grieving son discovering his father as a man more than his father, a Florida beach jogger finding mermaids sweeping the passageways of Carthage and Rome in crumbling wave washed sand castles, proud Anasazi women holding history in tight fists, Georgia O'Keeffe on her back to paint over and over The DH Lawrence Tree until she gets it right - all of us, carrying hope and determination, following the path of the hungry wolf, hearing the lament of a distant crow, touching the ancient eye of an Oklahoma water oak in search of the mysteries of our own histories. Also available on Amazon is my original black and white edition of Double Vision II: Narrative Poetry With and Without Words, in Kindle and Paperback - Mike Angelotti

About the Author
Mike Angelotti's narrative poetry and companion images have the feel of visual and verbal memoir, capturing his times in the Texas hill country, Oklahoma plains, Florida panhandle, and especially the Santa Fe-Taos mountain country of New Mexico, where he worked with Natalie Goldberg and Michele Cassou on his free writing and abstract painting skills, eventually evolving the current Paint-Write style that drives this 2016 color edition of Double Vision II: Living A Poet's Life In Paint, Photo and Word - reaching back as early as age 6, when he composed stories roughly illustrated and paneled after his Dick and Jane school readers and Superman comic books. His Mother noticed and bought him a small pine desk (that he promptly painted antique red) and Corona mechanical typewriter, feeding his passions for the written word and the arts that carried him through secondary school English teaching, a Florida State University PhD, and, finally, Chair of the English Education program at the University of Oklahoma, Norman, where his loves of poetry and the visual arts underscored every course that he taught from academic research to creative composition. Now as an OU Emeritus Professor, Mike conducts Paint-Write workshops and is a full-time writer and painter. His featured course at OU is a summer manifestation of Creative Composition for Teachers and Writers - more commonly termed by his students as "Paint-Write," the study and practice of intuitively blending abstract painting, poetry and other visual-verbal arts as an engaging way of developing personal creativity and artistic expression. The 2015 and 2016 anthologies of his summer Paint-Write student work and a sampling of Mike's own productivity may be accessed at his OU Jeannine Rainbolt College of Education "people" website. Mike composed the first B & W edition of Double Vision II: Poetry With and Without Words while also preparing several other collections of his poetry for publisher review, including Diary of a Hawk-Eyed Wanderer: A Texas Hill Country Poetic Memoir; Mind Jazz Jam: Improvisations in Paint-Write; About Cottonwoods: Reflections on Taos, New Mexico and Thereabouts; and WoodsRunning: On Pathways In and Out of Mind. Examples of his previously published Paint-Write work are available at two online journal sites: Red Truck Review, Volumes I (2014) and II (2015), and Ubiquity, Volume 1 (2014). Currently residing in Norman, OK, with his family, Mike may be contacted at mangelotti@ou.edu.
