ABOUT EMERGING VOICES
ROSE
LEVINSON
FOUNDER
AND WRITER
At this age, it's difficult to sum up over fifty years of engagement. Some things are lost in time.
Other activities were fleeting.
But Humanities and Social Action are consistent markers for where I put my energies.
My postings on the webzine attempt to make sense of my life through the lens of my own understandings. I'll post personal observations along with musings on questions that preoccupy me. Posts are both formal and conversational, along with multimedia narratives.
