‘The power of play’ Wash Park nonprofit brings people together over croquet BY KAILYN LAMB KLAMB@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

The diagnosis of his dads’ vascular dementia 10 years ago changed the course of James Creasey’s life. His dad, Maxwell, lived in Sevenoaks in southwest England, where Creasy was born. Creasy had moved to Colorado in 1978. But Creasy decided he would visit his dad for two

weeks, every 10 weeks, for the rest of his dad’s life. As Creasey and his five siblings tried to navigate the weight of their father’s disease, each tried to find something to help them bond with him. That quest led Creasey to croquet — and an idea he would bring back to the United States for dementia patients here. The Creasey siblings slowly found ways to connect with their father. They found more complex or fast games were lost after the diagnosis. Some activities were based on memories the family had of their father. SEE PLAY, P4

HOW TO PLAY A game of croquet with four players has two teams. The first team plays with the blue and black balls, and the second plays with red and yellow. The players take one shot per turn, following a color sequence painted on the center peg of a croquet set. The goal is to get the ball through the hopes in order. The first team to get to seven points wins. For more information on how to play, go to http://www.denvercroquetclub.com/ how-to-play/.

Denver’s criminal justice arm will ease up on people arrested for “low-level” drug and prostitution crimes, city officials announced Feb. 19. But only some will benefit from the new policy. The approach aims to divert people from jail and into health-care services, job training, housing and mental health services so they can get back on their feet and break the cycle of recidivism. People arrested for certain drug possession crimes — without intent to distribute — will qualify. People who engage in prostitution, shoplifting, trespassing, breaking curfew and disturbing the peace (no domestic violence) can also get leniency. “With this program, we can prevent people from getting caught in the endless cycle of incarceration, saving taxpayer money,” said Kevin Kelly with the Denver Office of Behavioral Health Strategies. “And we can empower people to live better who are typically facing extraordinary barriers to accessing the services they need.” But there’s a but: Only officers trained on the new model can divert arrestees to social services, and the program applies only to the police districts that cover the north half of Denver (excluding Stapleton, east). That’s where data show the program will benefit the most offenders. Yet demand for services is “far bigger than we can handle at our current size,” Kelly wrote via email. SEE DIVERSION, P7

Building community through art Denver native created a family through her painting subjects BY KAILYN LAMB KLAMB@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Walking through the Denver Art Museum’s new exhibit, “Returning the Gaze,” viewers will catch snapshots of everyday life in Harlem, as well as the steady eyes of subjects that artist Jordan Casteel has brought to life on canvas. But for Casteel, the paintings bring a deeper meaning — a community she has created for herself. At 30 years old, Denver native Casteel is showing her first solo exhibition at the DAM. As a young girl, Casteel remembers coming to the museum, participating in programs where she would spend the night there, absorbing the art on its walls. Seeing her own work transition from craft projects on school trips at the DAM to large-scale paintings on the walls of the Hamilton Building does not yet feel real to Casteel. “I’m waiting for someone to pinch me,” she said. “It hasn’t hit me yet.” Casteel graduated from East High School in the City Park neighborhood. She received a Bachelor of Arts from the Agnes Scott College in Georgia. From there, she went on to teach

special education at the Denver Center for International Studies at Montbello. Some of her earliest painting subjects were her students. She received a master’s degree from Yale School of Art in 2014. While attending school there, she started working on a series of nudes of black men who were drama students on campus. It was in this series that Casteel decided she wanted her subjects to have a strong and steady gaze back onto the viewer. For her, the question was: “How do I maintain a sense of power and a sense of self for these subjects as they move into the world and I’m not able to be directly their voice?” A steady gaze from subjects in paintings is not often seen in the art world,” said Rebecca R. Hart, the museum’s curator of modern and contemporary art. Casteel’s paintings showed “profound empathy for the inner lives of her sitters.” “Traditionally, the power dynamic between the artist and the subject tilts in favor of the artist — it’s the artist’s gaze,” Hart said. “The sitters in Jordan Casteel’s work, however, return the artist’s gaze — and ours. They invite our respect through their eyes.” Casteel’s subjects are also often shown in their own space as well, whether it’s their home, their family business or a favorite spot of Harlem streets.

Jordan Casteel stands in front of her painting “Yvonne and James” at the Denver Art Museum. Casteel was born and raised in Denver, and her new exhibition “Returning the Gaze” is showing until Aug. 18. KAILYN LAMB moved to Harlem in New York City. She returned to her roots, painting from photos of friends and family in Denver. “I left grad school, and I moved to New York and I was like, `I don’t know what I’m doing here,’ ” she said. “So I went back to the source.” Denver continues to influence her paintings. In a new city, Casteel didn’t have family ties or friends at first. As she began to find subjects to paint,

Harlem residents and business owners became like an extended family, she said. Creating community is something she learned in Denver. “It has given me the building blocks more than anything,” she said. “Those values around community started here.” SEE COMMUNITY, P12

City, museum partnership looks to City Park STAFF REPORT

Denver Parks and Recreation announced a partnership with the Denver Museum of Nature and Science to renovate a playground in City Park, creating a new “nature play” space, according to a news release. The playground is on the east side of City Park. The museum will bring in expertise on informal learning and will help with community engagement for fundraising efforts, the release said. The city recently finalized design plans on a separate playground space in City Park, 20-year-old Dustin Redd Playground. Similar to Dustin Redd, the museum playground will follow design guidelines for the park, as well as the 2018 City Park Master Plan. “We were not expecting to be able to

address this play space so soon and in conjunction with the redevelopment of the Dustin Redd Playground on the west side of the park,” said Happy Haynes, executive director of Denver Parks and Recreation in the release. “Partnering with the museum allows City Park users to benefit from the opening of two newly redesigned playgrounds within the next few years.” The city, as well as the musuem, will host an open house on the playground on Feb. 23 at 9 a.m. at the museum, 2001 Colorado Blvd. Attendees can sign up to give input on the new play space at the open house. For more information, visit https://secure1.dmns.org/natureplay-in-city-park-open-house. The city expects to put bids out for the Dustin Redd Playground this year with construction estimated to start in early 2020.

One of Creasey’s sisters began to polish shoes with their dad because every Sunday he would polish the family shoes to get them ready for the week when they were children. “You just create a whole new thing that you feel your way into,” Creasey said. “That’s really what I was doing with my dad.” About a year before Maxwell’s diagnosis, Creasey had started learning how to play croquet in Colorado. He had played with some friends and later discovered a croquet lawn during a walk at Washington Park. Although he had never played with his dad before his diagnosis, Creasey thought it was worth a try. And it turned out Maxwell liked the game: “He’d just get a big smile,” Creasey said. And “that was the moment where I felt the tap on the shoulder that was: ‘So what are you going to do with this moment?’ I thought I’d die a happy guy if I could put that smile on a half a dozen more faces.” Creasey launched his nonprofit, Jiminy Wicket, shortly after. The organization brings dementia and Alzheimer’s patients to Wash Park, on the croquet lawn by the southern lake, in the summer for outdoor games of croquet. In the winter, Jiminy Wicket plays indoor games at St. John Lutheran Church and School, 1600 E. Exposition Ave., across from Washington Park. Over

James Creasey, center, talks about his “magic moment” at the end of the croquet games. Creasey founded Jiminy Wicket after his father was diagnosed with dementia. Creasey played with his father after his diagnosis as a way to keep connected. KAILYN LAMB the years, Jiminy Wicket has put together more than 450 croquet sessions. Six years ago, Jiminy Wicket expanded to include the Through Hoops to Hope program, which brought in student volunteers from South High School to play intergenerational games. The program is now in a school in the United Kingdom, as well as several schools in Colorado. Creasey wants to expand Jiminy

He is hoping to raise funding to get the program into schools in Los Angeles, Boston and Chicago in the next year. Volunteers from New York Life, a national insurance company, help run the school program here in Denver. Joey Goldberg with New York Life volunteered during a middle school gym class with St. John Lutheran Church and School in January, and said he enjoys seeing the kids interact with the seniors from Brookdale Parkplace, an assisted living and memory care facility that participates in Jiminy Wicket. When they get a good shot, he added, the kids will give the seniors high-fives. “That dynamic is priceless,” Goldberg said. Kayleen Malone, a former gym teacher with the school, agreed. Interacting with seniors helps push kids out of their comfort zone, she said. Creasey also teaches the students the history of the game of croquet, as well as a little bit about Alzheimer’s and dementia, Malone said. The reason croquet works, Creasey said, is because of its

While in the inter-generational games he encourages students to connect with the seniors, he also said croquet is a game that doesn’t require a lot of talking. This can help ease people in who are unsure how to socialize with dementia patients. The interaction between students and seniors helps to prevent isolation and lonliness in the senior community, Creasey said. At the end of the gym class, Creasey has the participants talk about their “magic moment” in the game. Many of the St. John students said they enjoyed spending time with the seniors. Brookdale resident Kathy Sommers was all smiles during the game. “I had played this game maybe 20 years ago,” she said. “It was wonderful to see it again.” Those smiles are what are most important to Creasey. “We’re in the business of making smiles across the generations,” he said. “The power of play makes people smile. I know we do it because it’s what I see every day.”

Bill would allow temporary removal of guns from high-risk owners Democratic state legislators introduce ‘red-flag’ measure BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Introduced on the anniversary of the Parkland, Florida, school shooting, a bill to allow law enforcement to remove firearms from those shown to be a risk to themselves or others has emerged again at the state Capitol after last year’s defeat by a then-Republican Senate. “We are on the clock of trying to save people’s lives,” said state Rep. Tom Sullivan, a Centennial Democrat whose son was killed in the 2012 Aurora theater shooting. Bearing the name of a Douglas County sheriff ’s deputy who was killed when a reportedly mentally ill man shot him Sullivan and four other officers on Dec. 31, 2017, the Deputy Zackari Parrish III Violence Prevention Act faces a different political landscape than last year. Now with a majority in the state House and state Senate, Democrats are expected to pass the measure — known as a “red flag” bill — which comes with some changes from last year’s version that have alienated some Republicans. The prior proposal enjoyed the support of then-state Rep. Cole Wist, a top sponsor of that bill, and 18th Judicial District Attorney George Brauchler — both Republicans. “There are significant material differences in this year’s bill,” Wist, who in November was unseated by Sullivan, said in a tweet. “I am opposed and urge the General Assembly to vote no.” Along with Sullivan, House Majority Leader Alec Garnett, of Denver, and Sens. Brittany Pettersen, of Lakewood, and Lois Court, of Denver — all Democrats — are top sponsors of the bill, which was introduced Feb. 14. It passed the House Judiciary Committee a week later to move closer to a full vote. ‘No bill perfect for everyone’ Under the bill, a family or household member or a law enforcement officer can petition a court to allow officers to remove a person’s guns. The requester must prove that the person poses a “significant risk” to self or others in having or purchasing a gun. A temporary extreme risk protection order can prohibit a person from having firearms for up to 14 days. After that, if the requester can prove the person is a risk — under a higher standard of evidence — the court can issue a continuing order, preventing the person from having or buying a gun for 364 days. The court would appoint an attorney, at no cost, to represent the person during that second court hearing. At issue for Wist are the longer time periods a person can remain without their guns: This year’s bill doubles the

length of both the temporary and continuing orders, compared to last year’s. It also shifts the burden of proof to the person whose guns are taken, rather than the person who requested the order, to prove to the court that the guns should be returned before the 364 days end. That’s another issue for Wist and Brauchler. “I don’t want you to say there’s no form of this bill that I’d support,” said Brauchler, the DA for the district comprising Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties. “To Sullivan and Garnett’s credit, they’ve made some changes.” Douglas County Sheriff Tony Spurlock, also a Republican, has been in meetings with lawmakers at the Capitol, pushing for changes like keeping the burden of proof on the requester rather than the person who may be a risk. But like last year, Spurlock is in favor. “I have issues with it as well, but there’s no bill that is perfect for everyone,” Spurlock said. “Way too many politicians are making this about guns, and it’s not. This is about Spurlock mental health issues.” Spurlock noted the court would be able to put a person under a 72-hour mental health hold, with evaluation and treatment, if they’re shown to be in need of it. “The goal is not to break down someone’s door and take his guns,” Spurlock said. The process of taking someone’s guns wouldn’t always start that way, Spurlock added — if a person isn’t in mental health crisis, law enforcement would have a conversation with them. On the question of that situation escalating to use of force, Spurlock said people shouldn’t think that would be frequent. “That’s looking into a crystal ball,” Spurlock said. “We contact people every day with mental health issues that (involve) no use of force.” Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser, a Democrat, said the bill is constitutional and annouced his support for it in a news release Feb. 21, saying “reasonable restrictions” on some groups, including those with mental illness, are permissible based on a Supreme Court decision. ‘Violation of due process’ The bill isn’t aimed squarely at preventing mass shootings, which are often a “sudden instance,” Sullivan said. “This is another tool that law enforcement has been asking for to help them to do their job as effectively as they can,” Sullivan said. “And that’s what we should be doing.” Brauchler, who prosecuted the Aurora theater shooter, said he hopes such a bill could have an effect on mass shootings, but it’s difficult to tell. “Even the Aurora theater (shooter), I don’t know that this law, had it been on the books before July 20, 2012, would have stopped it,” Brauchler said. “But

for Zack Parrish’s case, I’m pretty convinced that there would have been an intervention that stopped that from happening.” Deputies were attempting to place Parrish’s shooter on a mental health hold when he opened fire, but deputies had contacted him multiple times before, Spurlock said. The suspected shooter at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland also was known to local law enforcement as troubled. Some oppose the proposal in more broad terms, though, like Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, a gun-rights group that says it has more than 200,000 members and supporters statewide. “Colorado gun owners loudly oppose so-called ‘red flag’ schemes because they are a gross violation of due process protections,” said Dudley Brown, executive director of the group, in a news release. “The bill will do nothing to prevent another Columbine, Aurora, or Parkland.” Democrats “missed the chance” to write a bill that protects Coloradans’ civil rights, House Minority Leader Patrick Neville said in a Feb. 21 news release. “The very real threat exists that innocent people will be stigmatized as dangerous. I have seen this happen with veterans and friends of mine that I served with in the military,” said Neville, R-Castle Rock. “People who actually need help will be dissuaded from seeking it out of concern about their rights being taken away.” ‘Reducing these tragedies’ Under the bill, the person whose guns are taken can ask the court once to end the order, and they would also have the burden of proving that the order should end. The requester could ask for an extension of the order before it expires if they can prove the person still poses a risk. “We’re not infringing on someone’s Second Amendment right,” Spurlock said. “We’re not taking those guns permanently. They’re removed until someone is treated and cared for.” On potential changes to the bill, Spurlock wants to see if the guns could be transferred to a family member instead of law enforcement taking them. He also seeks more support for entities that provide treatment for behavioral health, adding that an emergency room is “no place for someone who’s in crisis.” Thirteen states have enacted extreme-risk protection order laws, Spurlock and House Democrats said. Parrish’s parents put out a statement through Democratic state senators at a news conference Feb. 14 that announced the legislation, saying “it is incumbent upon us” to support it, according to a news release. “This is not about taking gun rights away from anyone; it is about protecting our first responders, families and the community at large,” the parents’ statement said, “thus reducing these tragedies in the future.”

VOICES Choices resonate like the sound of a gong

’ll take Door Number 2. We’re all vulnerable to the choices we make. The college we go to, the city we move to, the job we take, the man or woman we date or marry, and whether to have children or not, all can have everlasting consequences. I bought my house when it was under construction, and I was too excited about it to notice that the master bedroom faces the morning sun, and the living room faces the setting sun. Both have high non-rectangular windows that are almost impossible to find treatments for, and they let in enough heat in July to bake a casserole without an oven. I took a full-time job at a school without high admission standards, knowing I am an admission standards snob. Why? I was young, and simply wanted a full time job. I once dated the most beautiful woman in town, who wrote the book on dramatics, and washed her hair in a stranger’s sprinkler after a disap-

pointing haircut. Why did I date her? You can probably guess. I have thought about the choices Shanann Watts and Kelsey Berreth made, and the tragic outcomes, far more consequential than bedroom casseroles in July. QUIET I have watched lesser outcomes but DESPERATION soul-crushing ones in marriages that began on sunny afternoons with bridesmaids and promises that turned into the War of the Roses. Some of the choices people make are Craig Marshall great for narratives, in films and novels, Smith but not that great to come home to, if they happen to us. On the other hand, I can look back now at some decisions I made that turned out very favorably, even

though I may not have done enough research in the first place. My first choice was journalism at a university that didn’t have an undergraduate journalism department. Uh. My second choice was fine art. It turned out to be where I belonged in the first place. I chose a dachshund puppy when I was 5. I am now on my fourth (and final) dachshund, and inextricably devoted to the breed. We make decisions all the time: CNN or Fox (or neither). Republican or Democrat (or neither). God or no God. There is nothing better than freedom, and that includes the freedom of choice. I can get into my car and drive in any direction I want to, for as long as I want to, and listen to whatever I want to. I read about a man named Joaquin Guzman who was convicted of numerous crimes, and was sentenced

to spend the remainder of his life in a seven-foot by twelve-foot cell with a single window three feet high by four inches wide. He’ll be incarcerated right down the road, in Florence, 40 miles south of Colorado Springs. A former warden, Robin Hood, said, “This place is not designed for humanity. It is not designed for rehabilitation. Period. End of story.” I have no sympathy for Guzman, but I have thought about what would happen to someone who was confined and isolated as he will be, and if that wouldn’t be a virtual death. This morning at 5:30 a.m., Harry and I went to the grocery store. I bought his favorite food. We came home. I fed him. I drank black coffee, read the daily paper, and listened to KVOD. Craig Marshall Smith is an artist, educator and Highlands Ranch resident. He can be reached at craigmarshallsmith@comcast.net.

What to say when it’s all been said already

o you ever feel like it’s all been said already? I mean how many times can we really talk about hope and encouragement, a positive attitude, kindness, charity, goodness, love, forgiveness, commitment, endurance, thoughtfulness, goals, dreams and actions? How many reminders do we need to say thank you, please, or I love you? The question really isn’t how many times can we really talk about these things, the question is: How often should we talk about them? And the answer is, constantly or at least more often than we currently do. It’s been said that repetition is the mother or father of all learning. The more often we can repeat these words, affirm others with these feelings, and apply them in our own lives, the more they become habit, and part of our values and core belief system. Imagine that outcome. Each week as I write this column, I think about it. Each time I speak to a group or class, I think about it too. I think about the fact that ever since I was introduced to these concepts

myself, they have literally changed my life. And although I write about them and speak about them so often, it never gets old or tired for me, because I know that even though I have shared this message and these winning words so many times before, there is someone WINNING out there right now in our community WORDS who needs to hear it again, or maybe hear them for the very first time. And maybe they need to hear them from you too. Many of you have shared your own stories, which by the Michael Norton way I appreciate so very much, and you have shared parts of your own life story where you were having a bad day, bad week, or a few bad months. And then you decided for whatever reason to pick up the paper on a given day or find the column online, and how the nudge and reminder that we can choose our outlook and actions completely turned around

your attitude. And not just this column, but somehow coming across a positive message from someone, a motivational blog or podcast, a loving note, or witnessing an act of kindness, and how seeing or hearing those positive affirmations and words of encouragement made a huge difference in your day, week, month or life. “The doors of hope swing widest on the hinges of encouragement” — Zig Ziglar We can never talk about hope, faith, love, kindness, gentleness, commitment, trust, a positive attitude, forgiveness, goals, dreams, or success enough. We should never stop filling the ears of our children, our spouses, our family, and our friends with reminders about how important and life-changing these words and actions can be if we can buy into them and internalize them. And we can never fill our own minds and our own hearts and fuel our own conviction enough when it comes to these as well. The good news is that you get to choose, you get to make the deci-

You can even choose to stop reading this column if you truly believe that there is nothing more to say when it seems like it’s all been said before. But before you make that choice, I hope you will also remember that common sense is not always common practice and that repetition is the mother and father of all learning. So how about you? Have you heard it all before? Or can you live with a few more reminders about just how important our outlook is and how our outlook and actions can impact others, improving our own lives at the same time? I would love to hear your story at gotonorton@gmail. com, and when we can find our words, values, and actions to live by, it really will be a better than good week.

Senior Day features topics for older Coloradans Learn about what is coming for older Coloradans in the next decade and the potential impact on legislation during Senior Day at the Capitol, presented by the Colorado Senior Lobby. Hear from legislators, elected officals and Senior Day sponsors. A panel of leaders will discuss technologyenabled evolutions in mobility, accessibilty and health care. Senior Day at the Capitol is March 13. This year’s event will take place at the historic Scottish Rite Masonic Center at 1370 Grant St., Denver, diagonally across the street from the Capitol.

In other words, many people will fall through the cracks, but not as many as before. Kelly said he hopes to prove success and expand the program over time to meet the needs of the entire city. Officials call the approach the “Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion” program. It’s modeled after an initiative started in Seattle that has gone national, including to Longmont, Pueblo and Alamosa. Experts say social services give residents on the edge some stability, while the war-on-drugs approach of incarceration destabilizes them. Low-level criminals diverted with LEAD are about 60 percent less likely to get arrested again, according to a 2015 report. The thinking goes like this: Once arrestees get the treatment they need, their productivity and employability rise and the risk of getting jailed — or hospitalized for drug and alcohol abuse — falls. “We have looked a lot over the years

is offered from 8 to 9 a.m., and the program is presented from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Tours of the Capitol will be available after the event. One topic will be financial security for older Coloradans. Additionally, students from MetMedia at Metropolitan State University of Denver will conduct interviews and show the results of a video project they are producing. The event will be streamed through YouTube at https://www.youtube. com/user/ColoradoSeniorLobby. Reserve tickets at www.youtube. com/user/ColoradoSeniorLobby.

We’re pretty excited and we’re really encouraged by seeing it here in Denver given the rate of drug felony filings.” Drug felonies accounted for 41 percent of all felonies in Denver County last year, according to a report from the advocacy group. That’s compared with 29 percent in 2012. Most of those charges were for possession, Hurst said. Coloradans caught with “Schedule I” or “Schedule II” drugs like cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin, even small amounts detected on paraphernalia, can receive a felony conviction and go to jail, the report states. “By implementing the LEAD program, we’re giving people a first chance before a second chance is needed,” Denver District Attorney Beth McCann said in a statement. The LEAD initiative is not permanent — it’s a pilot funded through June 2020 with a $561,000 grant from the state. Part of that money will fund a contract with the University of Colorado’s Addiction Research and Treatment Services, which will help arrestees get back on their feet.

LIFE SHARE YOUR POETRY

Venues around the Denver metro area for sharing poetry with others include: • Weekly writing workshops at Lighthouse Writers Workshop, 1515 N. Race St., Denver. See www.lighthousewriters.org or call 303-297-1185 for details and many more events. • All OUT Open Mic Night, 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays at Blush and Blu, 1526 E. Colfax Ave., Denver. A free, 18-and-older event at the LGBTQ bar. People from all backgrounds and skill levels are welcome to share poetry or other writing. • Poetry Out Loud state championship by the Lighthouse Writers Workshop, 3 p.m. Feb. 27 at the Lakewood Cultural Center, 470 S. Allison Parkway, Lakewood. Finalists from more than 20 Colorado high schools will perform pieces in front of a live audience. • Poetry Society of Colorado’s meetings at 10 a.m. the third Saturday of each month, 909 N. Wadsworth Blvd., Lakewood. A workshop is oﬀered at most meetings. See www.poetrysocietyofcolorado.org for more details.

Hannah Alexander, a student at Niwot High School, won the Poetry Out Loud contest, put on by Lighthouse Writers Workshop, in 2018. Lighthouse Writers Workshop is a nonprofit literary center that’s been in Denver since 1997, according to the organization. Its mission is to support reading and writing in Denver and beyond through year-round workshops, readings, a summer literary festival, retreats and programming that runs in its Denver location and throughout the metro area, including schools. COURTESY OF LIGHTHOUSE WRITERS WORKSHOP

Metro area offers many venues for sharing poetry BY ELLIS ARNOLD EARNOLD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

epression and struggling with her identity put a roadblock in Sophia Manion’s passion for poetry, but when she walked into Blush and Blu, an LGBTQ bar on Colfax Avenue, she found her voice again. “I was inspired when I stumbled into this open mic and was instantly welcomed by this crowd,” said Manion, 30, who lives in Denver’s Park Hill neighborhood. The bar is just one of the wellknown spots in the Denver metro area’s poetry scene, where people of many backgrounds — and age groups — come together to hone their skills, wax reflective about the world, make connections and share their selves. Along with displaying influence from smartphones and social media, poetry appears to be riding an upswing in popularity in the area, local aficionados say. “Poetry is still important in our culture because it touches our hearts through the emotions behind the words,” said Alice Aldridge-Dennis, president of Castle Rock Writers, a regional group. “In a fast-paced world, getting in touch with our inner selves is vital to our well-being.”

Text on tech Poetry imitates life in today’s tech-fueled era, as Curtis Pierce, vice president of the Poetry Society of Colorado, has observed. Texting, social media and cell phones appear more often lately as subject matter, Pierce said. “For example, we had a contest a few months ago, and the theme was cell phones. And there was actually some great poetry about cell phones,” said Pierce, whose nonprofit group meets in Lakewood and has monthly workshops. “You seen the movie ‘Her’? The idea of loving someone who doesn’t physically exist (came up). “When you’re texting, you’re using short-form words ... those things are making way into writing maybe as something kind of clever.” Manion, one of the hosts of the All OUT open mic at Blush and Blu, also sees poems that reference how people communicate via texting or social media, she said. Aldridge-Dennis, whose group holds monthly workshops and meets at the Philip S. Miller Library in Castle Rock, said she’s noticed other modern influences on similar writing. “I think rap music and performance arts reflect a new way of communicating through rhyme and rhythm on social issues,” Aldridge-Dennis said. “The popularly of the musical ‘Hamilton’ attests to this. The story is about our country’s early days, but the messages are still relevant today.”

Not just teen angst Currents in the country’s political waters influence locals’ poetry, too, said Suzi Q. Smith, poet and community engagement coordinator at Lighthouse Writers Workshop. “Most of the poets that I have been connected to locally have been politically vocal for years and continue to be so,” said Smith, whose Denver literary center holds workshops, a literary festival and programming, including in schools. “Our current political climate provides opportunity for these poets to share their work in forums that haven’t necessarily been as politically active as they are now.” Manion’s seen political messages at Blush and Blu, the only open mic she knows of in the area with an LGBTQ focus. “There’s a touch of the political because we’re gay,” said Manion, who identifies as transgender. But “the personal and the political are the same sometimes, like with (poems on) #MeToo,” the recent movement to discuss sexual harassment and assault. The idea of poets as “the prophets of the time period” comes up in the writers’ world, Pierce said. “There’s a lot of angst in the writing,” Pierce said. “People who wouldn’t normally write politically are writing politically or are just writing about what’s going on in the news.” ‘Ineffable’ asset In an era with so many media and

• Castle Rock Writers’ workshops on ﬁrst Monday evenings of the month, Philip S. Miller Library, 100 S. Wilcox St., Castle Rock. The annual writers’ conference, with critiques, agent pitches and workshops for diﬀerent types of writing, will be held Sept. 27-28. Contact 303-5218615 or AliceAD1951@icloud.com for more information. sources of entertainment, members of the metro area’s writing scene say poetry remains relevant, even among young people. “Mainly because it’s a steppingstone. For example, music,” Pierce said. “Often you’ll hear music and poetry are connected. So poetry is a way to get into music or other things.” Pierce’s Poetry Society is involved in youth poetry, and he said young people tend to “graduate” to other art, like music or long-form writing, but sometimes come back to poetry. “The popularity of poetry, it definitely is on the upswing,” said Pierce, who also volunteers for Castle Rock Writers. Interest in poetry has increased, with people calling the group to ask where they can learn more about how to write and publish their poetry, AldridgeDennis said. Andrea Dupree, program director at Lighthouse, said poetry still resonates today because of its ability to help people cope with and process their lives. “Poetry is about transforming the things in the world that can feel chaotic and overwhelming — injustice, suffering, loss, and even joy and happiness — into something beautiful and meaningful and concrete,” Dupree said. It “adds to that ineffable warehouse of survival techniques we have in our hearts and minds. Ultimately, all art and writing are about connection. That’s something we can, all of us, use more of.”

Get lost in ‘The Moors’ on area stage

or aficionados of a certain kind of English novel, the phrase “the moors” conjures up images of a mysterious, fogshrouded lowlands where romance and danger go hand-in-hand. In her 2016 work with that same title, playwright Jen Silverman took the conventions COMING that writers like the Brönte sisters ATTRACTIONS and Arthur Conan Doyle built into this location and turned them into a dark comedy. “One way we’re describing the show is ‘Wuthering Heights’ meets ‘The Addams Family,’” explained Clarke Reader actor Jessica Robblee. “There are a lot of mysteries to it, but there’s also a lot of fun in the play as well.” The regional premiere of “The Moors” runs at the Arvada Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd., through May 18. The show is the second of three repertory productions at the center, with performances taking place at 1 p.m. on Wednesdays, 7:30 p.m. on Thursdays through Saturdays and 2 p.m. on Sundays. There will also be select Saturday matinées at 2 p.m. The show focuses on two sisters, their depressed mastiff dog (Geoffrey Kent) and their lonely life out on the

moors. But with the appearance of a governess and a mooorhen, everyone’s life gets thrown into chaos. Robblee takes on the role of Huldey, one of the sisters, and Regina Fernandez plays Emilie, the home’s new governess. “The show reminds me of the great gothic thrillers like ‘Rebecca,’ but there’s also bits of ‘The Wizard of Oz’ and ‘Alice in Wonderland’ as well,” Fernandez said. “While it might seem like just a period piece, it’s really easy to access for modern audiences.” One thing the show has in common with the other two productions of the Black Box season — “The Diary of Anne Frank” and “Sin Street Social Club” — is a strong sense of location. Fernandez said the English moors are a vibrant character in the play, which adds to the emotional and darkly funny nature of the play. “Really, it’s just a beautiful show,” Robblee said. “There’s a real journey in the play, with a lot of nice surprises along the way.” To get tickets, call 720-898-7200 or visit www.arvadacenter.org/themoors. Scale some of the most challenging peaks while sitting down If there’s one thing Coloradans appreciate, it’s the mountains. It’s hard not to — they’re just right there. But not all of us are built to be climbers

or off-roaders. Luckily, the Banff Centre Mountain Film Festival World Tour has mountain appreciators of all kinds covered. Hosted by the Colorado Mountain Club, the tour will be stopping at the Paramount Theatre, 1621 Glenarm Place in Denver, from Friday, March 1 through Sunday, March 3. The tour brings some of the films from the annual Banff Centre Mountain Film and Book Festival held in Banff, Canada, out on the road. Head to http://bit.ly/cmcbanff19 for all the details you need. Clarke’s Concert of the Week — Meek Mill at Fillmore Auditorium It’s probably a safe bet that Robert Rihmeek Williams, better known as Meek Mill, didn’t expect that his rap career would lead to a role as a public advocate for criminal justice reform. I guess that’s what happens when the justice system fails you. Meek had a booming rap career before his highly publicized incarceration and subsequent release from prison in April 2018. Since his release, he’s joined the national conversation about criminal justice disparities and injustices and is working with leaders like Jay-Z and 76ers co-owner Michael Rubin to address institutional issues. Now the Philadelphia rapper going on a large national tour, and will be stopping by the Fillmore Auditorium,

1510 N. Clarkson St., at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, March 5. He’s bringing upstarts Melii, Kash Doll and Lil Durk along with him, and it promises to be quite the show. For tickets, visit www.livenation. com.

Romance from orchestra While February might be the month many people associate with love, the Lakewood Symphony Orchestra is moving its celebration of the romantic arts to March. The LSO’s “Romance” concert will be held at 7:30 p.m. at March 7 at the Lakewood Cultural Center, 470 S. Allison Parkway. According to information for the symphony, Tchaikovsky’s “Romeo and Juliet,” a classic of the repertoire will be accompanied by an older and equally tragic love story — Lancelot and Elaine. Fans of classic Arthurian legends, especially Sir Thomas Malory’s “Le Morte d’Arthur” — will be familiar with the story. Faure’s “Pavanne,” Maquez’s “Danzon No. 2” and Saint-Saëns “Baccanale” round out the program. For tickets or information, call 303987-7845 or visit www.lakewoodsymphony.org. Clarke Reader’s column on culture appears on a weekly basis. He can be reached at Clarke.Reader@hotmail. com.

COMMUNITY FROM PAGE 2

The more she painted in New York, the more people she met. Her network grew. And several subjects from her paintings came to the DAM for opening festivities. Casteel also shared stories on her subjects, such as the couple in “Yvonne and James,” who became like second parents. “I’m not really interested in kind of appearing and then disappearing,” she said. “This is about real community-building for me.” Road to the DAM The museum has been working with Casteel for the last 2 ½ years to put the exhibition together, Hart said. Hart and DAM director Christoph Heinrich agreed Casteel has a way of bringing her subjects to life. Often, they are individuals that people don’t take a second glance at on the street. Casteel’s painting of “Charles,” for example, shows a man selling furs on a street corner in Harlem. “When we are in the city we always see them, we run by, we always have our agenda in our head and maybe don’t even take notice of them,” Heinrich said. “Jordan, as an artist, has almost the privilege to stop in her tracks and to ask them and to start communicating with them.” For Hart, the brightly colored paintings are Casteel’s way to “encourage people to slow down and look at the people that are around them.”

“Charles” is one of 30 paintings by Jordan Casteel in the Denver Art Museum exhibition “Returning the Gaze.” Casteel met Charles in Harlem, where he sells his own handmade furs. KAILYN LAMB

Celebrating businesses owned by black families, as well as the relationships black men have with each other, was a focus Casteel wanted to bring into the world of museums. Traditionally, she said, museums don’t have a lot of representations of people of color. “I wanted to represent that which was most familiar to me,” she said. “Knowing I had great potential to further the story, and to contribute to a future lineage, that was definitely a conscious decision.”
