I am a chronically ill queer artist and writer of colour. I have several degrees in higher education and have spent most of my life interested and active in social movements against racism, militarism, misogyny and homophobia. Over my life, I have worked in alternate news, translation, law, teaching, and with progressive cultures, music, poetry, performers, and artists. I speak and understand a few languages and plan to share media in them on this blog. I am a poetry, art, music, and nature lover with special fondness for birds and cats! In this blog, I share art, poetry, analysis, and musings on the world we live in. I am fond of evocative and nuanced poetry, often exploring themes of identity, memory, and cultural heritage. My work frequently delves into personal and collective experiences, blending introspective reflection with broader social commentary. My poetry is characterized by its lyrical quality and rich imagery, often drawing on my background and experiences to inform my writing. As a visual artist, my visual work employs vivid imagery and symbolism. This can be seen in the use of colour, form, and texture to convey complex emotions and ideas.
