BlogDay 2006

BlogDay was created with the belief that bloggers should have one day dedicated to getting to know other bloggers from other countries and areas of interest . . . post a recommendation of five new blogs . . .

Not long ago I posted a list of 10 Blogs You Should Be Reading — so I refer you there, and add five more for you to check out:

Within/Without: Arbitrary Obsessions. Cities. History. Music. Feminism. Maami-isms. Patterns. Identities. Free Verse. by Neha Viswanathan
under the fire star: an outsider in Chennai. by Nancy Gandhi
(autobiology) by Siona
little.red.boat: by Anna Pickard
OKIR: by Jean Vengua

I’ve been reading all of these for quite a long time.

And I just noticed, they’re all blogs by women.

Blogging, Weblogs

Ancestral (Artificial )Intelligence

I do not use AI to write. For me, writing is how I think, and I prefer to do it myself. If/when I post anything here that I suspect or know to be AI generated, I will tell you.

I have changed this from Artificial to Ancestral, after Abi Awomosu @ Substack. This medium was made with human history, human thought. All of it, bright and dark. It is ancestral.

Poems

Please do not assume that I am the speaker/ subject of my poems.

In these times of creative nonfiction and fictionalized memoirs, I think of the poem itself as true fiction: it is most likely not factual, but it must be true.

It is likely to be — it is best if it is — a truth I did not know before I wrote, and may not understand even then.

A poem is my way of discovering (dis-covering) what I feel; sometimes, what I think — but it is not necessarily biographical.
