`SparrowSong on writing, critique and her passions
^lovetodeviate
reports, September 28
reports, September 28An interview with writer, critic (critiquer?), lit senior, `SparrowSong. Here are some tidbits:
“I like that my passions change. If nothing else, it gives me more to write about.”
“Everyone has heard the expression, ‘Give a man a fish, he eats for a day; teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime.’ If you don’t learn to critique, you will always be dependent on others to help you instead of being able to do it by yourself.”
“Art changes how we view the surface of the world to reveal truth or beauty—or both—underneath.”

An inspiration to many, Daniel's dedication to his craft is evident throughout his gallery, with many of his beautiful prints hanging on walls across the globe. In recognition as being one of the most successful artists in our deviantART community, we're delighted to award this month's Deviousness Award to `arcipello Read More

Tell James Marsters his new love interest is a cement block, he'll have chemistry with it. We'd all ship S/CB, and when JM looked at the block just so, we'd post, "wow. CB looked hot tonight."

This isn't in response to me whingeing last night in the forum is it? Sounds absolutely fantastic but can someone please tell me what time that will be "Melbourne, Australia time" (or tell me what city GMT is so I can check it out myself?)

I thought that some of the metaphysical imagery was really particularly effective. Interesting rhythmic devices too, which seemed to counterpoint the surrealism of the underlying metaphor of the humanity of the poet's compassionate soul...
