A poet considers the intersections of language and numbers, connections between disparate entities – the currents stirring within the Phoenician iteration of our letter M and the Japanese character for water, mizu, or the intertwined strands of solar wind and shadows, black-chinned hummingbirds and coastal death rituals – all, of course, while contemplating good food and that most magnificent of elixirs, beer, which may have been the very foundation of civilization. Or not.
Hello there
Thanks for the follow! How have you been and how’s your blog doing?
I created a blogger tips group to connect with all my long last WordPress blogger friends, and to help all of us to learn from each other. I would love for you to share your knowledge in the group and connect with other bloggers. Here’s the link:

Hi Robert, just wanted to let you know The Blue Nib is back on stream after some serious re-writing and issues with staff. The site is now split into two sections. The Poetry Project which is an open site for all to post, has the usual bells and whistles, community/social features. The second part is the magazine which runs an open/frontend submission policy but all work is reviewed by editors before acceptance. I hope you come join and add some of your stellar work to both sites.

Hi there!
I noticed you liked my “What Does Being Asian-American Mean to You?” discussion prompt a while ago so I came to check you out. I really love the poetry you’ve posted here! I’ve also liked your post about Chinese poetry. Would you have any commentary to share on my blog about Asian art or poetry? Or simply a favorite Asian poem that you would recommend for my blog? I’d really appreciate any kind of help in getting my new site off the ground. Thanks so much!
Sincerely,
Anonymous Asian Gal

Hello, Robert! It’s Toad of Toad’s Dimensional Rift. Because I have an account that is free and public, wordpress does not allow me to ban or block troublesome individuals. There doesn’t seem to be a middle way where I post to the public but troublesome sorts can be handled without damaging my mental health. As a result, I’m shifting to dreamwidth.org. Even free accounts have STRONG BANNING POWERS! BWAHAHAHAHA!
Here’s the link. Nothing is yet switched over, but there will be content soon! https://toads-dimensional-rift.dreamwidth.org/
