NO POINT WORRYING

NO POINT WORRYING For a slow-scrap at The Lilypad. What do all these elements have to do with that photograph? Absolutely nothing, aside from color. All elements are from M3 kits, by Dawn Inskip, Little Butterfly Wings, Lynne-Marie, and Paula Kesselring. The photo is mine. //embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js Continue reading

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.
