Proud FM 103.9

OMG!
I am absolutely in love with this station!
I've been jamming to their music all day.

Oh yeah, club beats for the early 90's.

My Ibsen Experience



I am always a little reluctant talking about Ibsen.

Norwegian.
I never learned the language.

Over the last decade, I read, I think, almost every play of his that got translated. Some I read so long ago that I no longer remember. There is also a sameness to many of the plays, even if they are masterpieces (like Woody Allen movies that are all different, but the same.)

But everytime I think of narratives, dialogue, and character, I think back to Ibsen. And, he also gave me the norm for tragedies.

What Type of Writer Should I Be?



***You Should Be A Poet***


You craft words well, in creative and unexpected ways.
And you have a great talent for evoking beautiful imagery...
Or describing the most intense heartbreak ever.
You're already naturally a poet, even if you've never written a poem.

Just a little note to remind myself: Mutabaruka

Heard him on CKLN several weeks back.
Heard of him before that.

I could never find the right spelling of his name properly.

Finally found it.
