    The Rothko Chapel is delighted to bring a distinguished roster of outstanding intellectuals, poets, musicians, and journalists to speak and perform during its 2009-2010 season of public programs. All programs are free and open to the public. The Rothko Chapel presents In the Sufi Tradition: Poetry and Music Celebrating A Face That Does Not Bear the Footprints of the World.   Featuring Usha Akella, Poet (pictured) and Steve Gorn, Flute.  Thursday, March 25, at 7pm.

    Poet Usha Akella will read from her most recent book of poems, accompanied by the internationally-renowned musician Steve Gorn. The poetry celebrates the Sufi spirit with poems of devotion, love, and yearning for the divine. The work resonates with the sanctity and dignity of the Rothko Chapel's mission and is universal in its spiritual message of love and harmony.

      "REFLECTION"

      no wonder usha writes such exquisite poetry.Look at her classic chiselled face evoking incurable romance in the viewer. Possibly her outpourings are the refiected expressions of the savourer.
