“Being a black woman writer is not a shallow place but a rich place to write from. It doesn’t limit my imagination; it expands it,”

The heart has a puzzling shape
the moment you thought it broke
becomes twofold.
The moment in a relinquishing evening
you thought it whole.
It breaks
until the morning
when the shape is restored
and your feelings pour like early April rain
over thirsty lilacs…
“The heart is an organ of fire” –Michael Ondaatje
It flickers and lights the embers of any glib desire.

Looking at things
“It is looking at things for a long time that ripens you and gives you a deeper meaning.”
– Vincent Van Gogh
Reshape our Rage – The New Yorker interview
“People in the world have every reason to be in a state of total rage. What we do with that rage together is important.” – Judith Butler

Content creation & strategy – new project
My next project is a jewelry website.
Firstly I have started with a blog where I use the frame story, the story-within-a-story technique.
Next, the SEO audit in order to start handcrafting the pillar page for the website…
It is fascinating, as a “brother”-of-words, to see what some long tail (stardusted) keywords can create.
For the central piece story, I have been inspired by the magnetic beauty of Eustacia Vye from The Return of the Native (Thomas Hardy), who wanted, above all, to be loved.
We keywordly handcraft your inventory of light and spread it all over to Be Loved.

The cost to a company’s bottom and top line, their brand and reputation are too great to NOT put culture first.
Cutting edge website that goes hand in hand with Carolynda MacDonald‘s unique imagery.
Kubla Khan
BY SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE
Or, a vision in a dream. A Fragment.
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.
So twice five miles of fertile ground
With walls and towers were girdled round;
And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,
Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree;
And here were forests ancient as the hills,
Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.
Art by Robert Burns.
Last year’s words
“For last year’s words belong to last year’s language. And next year’s words await another voice.”
– T.S.Eliot

Happiness at Medium.com
I am dreaming about a new book…
Writing for the Anthology Volume I: Writings from the Sudden Denouement Literary Collective transported me to another realm, where the moon lights the day, and the sun is always beyond the horizon.
“Happiness is immaculate
and wordless
Happiness is the fire person
Burning for your path
Lighting like the moon
dense and bright and alive
Hoovering on the alphabet blue
of the world
Uncovering a soul into desire
Pulling out a Love
that dissolves and finishes…
Happiness is the love
carved into the bark
that kills pitfalls and
feeds the unicorn-green grass.
Happiness is a father
that lived oceanless
for a daughter to grow
tied to the oceanside.”
– From my latest poem at medium.com/resistance poetry:

Iulia Halatz
She says: “Be the one who cares, make words so disruptive that they create new worlds, hopes and dreams. Even if we are unhappy dinosaurs and find shelter in an Iron Tale or ruminate about feeling too much, whilst declaring colorless apparel, we should take power and strength from our stories.”
Her published poems can be found in The Sudden Denouement Anthology Volume I.
