Resources on Aesthetic Realism, which I recommend in addition to what's already mentioned on this page, are: (1) The Aesthetic Realism Online Library which has reviews, essays by Eli Siegel, poetry and lectures by Mr. Siegel, books, articles in the press, and The Right of Aesthetic Realism to Be Known. (2) The Web site "Friends of Aesthetic Realism—Countering the Lies" in which students and former students of Aesthetic Realism tell the truth about some of the meanest misrepresentations we've seen. It has wit and satire on it. (3) Links to sites created by persons whose first hand knowledge of Aesthetic Realism and its approach to art, literature, the economy, and life make them important authorities in today's cultural world. (4) Writing by Ellen Reiss, the Class Chairman of Aesthetic Realism, on Robert Burns, Lord Byron, Emily Dickinson; on the Middle East, on Harry Potter as literature; as well as descriptions of the classes she teaches by architect David Salmon, by New York teachers B. McClung and L. Phillips, and by English teacher Leila Rosen. (5) Dr. Arnold Perey's site "Aesthetic Realism: A New Perspective for Anthropology and Sociology."
