Along with these beautiful paintings, you'll enjoy the entertaining quotes, literary birthdays, lunar phases, holidays, and other goodies interspersed throughout the calendar grid.

Each month features a different full-page image on the top, with a full-page monthly grid below (including past and future months) providing a perfect combination of beauty and utility. The 12" x 12" format opens to 12" x 24" -- large enough to display intricate detail and allow ample room for writing in important dates.

Susan Loy describes her 2010 Literary Calligraphy® calendar:

The theme is love, a theme which I first presented ten years ago in 2000 and which bears repeating. Love is a favorite theme of poets and of mine. In 2010, I focus on human love and feature writers and poets on love and friendship. In addition to the featured texts, I have included quotations about love by various writers on their birthdays.

The year begins with love's language, the Language of Flowers, and a medley of poems from Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Christopher Smart, Percival, and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. February features "The Passionate Shepherd to His Love," Christopher Marlowe's poem that begins, "Come live with me and be my love." March celebrates friendship with a quotation from a letter that Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote to his friend, Margaret Fuller. April presents the beloved verse from The Song of Songs 2:16, "My beloved is mine and I am his." May honors Mother's Day with Walt Whitman's "Mother's Joys!" June features Robert Burns's famous poem that begins, "O, my luve is like a red, red rose, That's newly spring in June." July presents St. Paul's treatise on love, 1 Corinthians 13. August highlights the red rose, which means love in the Victorian Language of Flowers. September displays Elizabeth Barrett Browning's famous Sonnet 43, "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways," followed in October by Shakespeare's equally famous Sonnet 116, "Let me not to the marriage of true minds admit impediments." November features the Apache Blessing. December completes the year with a quotation from Washington Irving's The Sketch Book, which reminds us that the holiday season is "the season of regenerated feeling – the season for kindling not merely the fire of hospitality in the hall, but the genial flame of charity in the heart."
