bk is having an unprecedented summer. the only thing to do is write about it.

Linda is back to learn and share with other poets. She just published her first chapbook, The other side of the bed and beyond by Finishing Line Press.

I grew up barefoot, on 50 acres of wooded land, handraising birds, learning and performing dance routines, harmonies, and going to the public library twice a week. I rode horses, did dance and gymnastics, diving lessons, skiing, piano and guitar, bass, drums and saxophone. My mom would wake me up at 5 am so as to write in a more unconscious state. I was also frequently walking in the woods, learning the names of everything and how to talk to the spirit in all things like the Native American people in many accounts. I am still as unconventional as I ever was, and making paintings which reflect a bit of my own soul back to me is my current profession. Art, music, spirit, love, are inseparable to me, and above all I believe my mission in life is to help others in the world to open their eyes a little wider to the beauty. I agree with Hiyao Miyazaki that any art created by AI is humanity losing confidence in itself.
