Friends,
I'm so sorry that I've been very inactive both in terms of posting and commenting! I'm doing school photography for 3 months now (been doing it for a month already, 2 more to go), which takes up most of my time - and when I'm not doing that, I'm doing other kinds of photography. We're also moving to Morocco in 3 months, which keeps me busy whenever I have some time. So I hope you don't mind too much - as soon as I'm able, I'll be active again!
I hope you're all well - I'm glad to see that you're posting new creations all the time! Let the creativity flow.
Cheerio,
H

a DD for my poem!
about a month ago, my poem summer storm got a daily deviation! i really liked working on this one so it's fun that other people have found it worth reading. at some point i was only doing photography, then poetry took over, and now i think i'm trying to find a balance and the interface between the two. i think this was part of that. thanks to @DelightfulDolphin for suggesting it and for @Barosus for featuring it! :heart:
another poem published in consilience!
A couple of weeks ago, my poem 'can the sea drown?' was published in the journal Consilience! You can read it here and listen to me reading it here. When reading it, I was really glad I had included the words 'silicious ooze' in the poem. They're tasty words. :D Consilience is an online journal that publishes science poetry. I enjoyed working with their editors!
poetry news
So apart from the good news of my poem 'raised a girl' getting Daily Deviation recently, I have some other fun poetry-related news: at the beginning of September, I was awarded third prize in a poetry competition here in Finland. :) The competition was for Swedish-language poems (by a Fenno-Swedish foundation), and you could send in up to 10 poems. I sent in a collection of kayaking/friendship related poems, and found out during the summer that they apparently had liked it. There were 156 entries, and the judges were writers whose work I respect a lot. So that was a confidence boost! There was an award ceremony and everything, with two actors reading excerpts of the winning poems, music, a streamed discussion with the winners, and good food at the end. All the information and poetry is in Swedish, but here are a couple of links to the news article on the foundation's website and to the digital publication (with a quote from one of my poems on the cover!). As a picture is worth
some published poems!
after a few weeks hanging out with family around christmas and new year's, i came back home to an anthology with my name and three of my poems in it! it's a swedish-language anthology, and the theme is the kvarken archipelago, which is a unesco world heritage site and an archipelago i spend a lot of time in. my cottage is there, and i kayak around there too. it feels really good to have my poems accepted and to actually see them printed, especially as the book looks so good! https://www.boklund.fi/bokhandel/skonlitteratur/vertikal-4-kvarken-i-ord-och-bild-p-660.html
