My Featured Blogger this week is Kate Duff of A Thousand Bits of Paper. Kate is a poet, writer, and published author who lives in Australia. About her writing, she says it’s “a ‘song line’ or ‘dreaming track,’ a path across the land or the sky, according to the aboriginal people of Australia.” Her blog is her song line, her dreaming track “which follows (her) through life.”
Kate’s song line flows from the lyrical to the pragmatic to the abstract. But whatever form it takes, it always speaks to us,
Always reminds us of our own dreaming tracks.
Great post! I enjoy Kate’s work immensely. She often packs a massive punch in just a few lines!
She does indeed.
Beautifully written.
Beautiful.
Fun visuals.
The same applies to underwater life.💦
Thank you for sharing this, it’s beautiful! Can I ask what should one do to be a featured blogger/poet on your blog?
Thank you so much. Kindest regards, Gregoria
Hi Gregoria. It’s a pretty subjective process. I only do one Features Blogger a week (currently at least), and try to mix things up, avoiding repetition in gender or nationality. But I also sometimes choose someone because of the current relevance of a particular post they’ve written. I don’t seek out guest blogs, but did publish one recently. I could see how it might work as a pandemic-related piece and had her rewrite it accordingly.
Thank you so much for the details you provided. I look forward to reading other such works you select.
I love the soulful imagery and wisdom!
