I am the creature who smells your darkest thoughtsby Arthur Sze, from, Jaguar Song Third Time Karma (For Virginia) I put dabs of blood-velvet lipstick on like a whore, then matte it daintily like a lady, before taking last look in the mirror. I am the creature who smells your darkest thoughts. Smiling at our…
Pink Slime News: If you’re interested in how unethical individuals wield AI tools, read this…
I’ve been on Interlochen Public Radio‘s email list for awhile. For a small radio station, they have brought quality journalism to me again and again. They are passionate about what they do.

#SLS — “Any Road” by George Harrison, on Brainwashed (2002)

Book Review — _Beyond Pomegranate & Thorns: A Collection of Stories, Poems, & Art_, by Anne E.G. Nydam
Trying to describe the metaphysical dimensions of Anne’s book is difficult but a welcomed challenge. Best way to imagine it is as a Tardis of a book. If I had to choose three words to describe it, I would use humorous, whimsical, and wise. The 7.5” x 9.25” quality-covered paperback has thick pages with over…
