Wayde Compton, the director of The Writer's Studio, a creative writing program at SFU, addresses students in The Writer's Studio as well as audience members at the launch of emerge, the studio's annual creative writing anthology.
He looked upon his disciples
and said
“He who casts the dice
will be vindicated”
Astonished, they stared
at him, mouths agape
Theirs was a long silence
Nobody dared to commence
a speech act
All actors speak in tongues
Every cheek needs a tongue
Every secret needs a cheek
to hide the folly of man
Speaking is a discipline
that can be learned
Every once in a while
a disciple needs a bite
to eat
Even the learned
feel the need
to chow down
on a fleshy piece
of mouthwatering sense
from time to time
Across all epochs
of humanity’s
sleepwaking state
the dreamer spoke up
when everyone else
lay still
He bit off a bit of his tongue
tasting the metal
swallowed the pint
and replied
“A dice throw is
akin to onion soup:
as you peel back
the layers, it stings
it takes a bite
out of you
At mealtime
you get your revenge
Supper is always
the last act for someone”
They buried him
in an unknown
unmarked mass grave
just days later
before the soup
could mature enough
to realize its full
potential
His eyes were red
They still had tears
inside them
He smiled a full-belly
smile saying
“The hungry know
how to feed themselves
Every discipline seeks out
its own disciples
Every disciple is subject
to his own discipline
Hunger and its limits are
known only to the hungry”

Symptomedia.
Symptomedia is as artistic project I realized with @htportraitshots , @sad_one , @mortimus_aker and my friend Bannas that I can’t find here. This serie was exhibited thanks to Anders at @lokale_27 in Nørrebro earlier this year.
My artistic goal was here to incorporate narration in my images. Narration is the key to wonder, to grab the attention of the viewer and bring it deeper and deeper step by step, letting him find his own way through the representation of certain events. The theme is an illustration of an essay I wrote about the importance to overcome little fears to confront yourself to the other’s points of view in order to grow together, for the better.
To do so and to bring a lot more depth to the whole project, I took several decisions regarding the aesthetics and concepts of the série.
First is exploiting the codes of cinema: subtitles of the little screen. As you watch a movie and read this never-ending text progression, you tend to recreate a link between visual elements when the image is still. Recontextualisation. Having subtitles more than captions include the message in a scenic approach of what becomes more than an image: it’s a whole film that’s going through your eyes, and only your mind will make it go 25 frames per second.
The linguistic approach is poetic, and as my visual approach focuses a lot on giving several meanings to explore. Art is a game and mystery is the thrill of it. Research. Find.
Several elements of the exhibition (spacing, not-horizontal display, height, …) will never be accessible on digital medias – to end this presentation I would like to stress how important it is that culture takes place in real places, tangible, opened. Fuck Covid and thanks @Lokale_27 .
Peace to all.
The automatic writing project started out as an activity among friends and locals. I would write a line someone else would write a line and so on... Then people would overhear us and ask if they could participate and write something too (which surprised me) of course I said "yes!" At that point I realized that lots of people have something to say. I started asking strangers to add entries, then I graduated to offering people $1.00 to participate, some people do not accept the dollar and some pay me a $1.00 (paying it forward). It's becoming quite a lovely, surprising and compelling project. People from many walks of life are participating: homeless, a news reporter, academics, students, doctors, drug addicts, lawyers, tourists etc... People have written things in my journal that they'd never say out loud, not to anyone. Some of it's so sad, some intriguing, hilarious and so on... At the end of the day, every one of these people understand that their entries are being uploaded to the internet and are comforted in knowing that they will be heard. I have no idea where this is going, but it's going just fine! FYI: English is not everyone's first language here. I will be illustrating the book/journal after the text is done. I hope that everyone who reads these entries learns something about people, mostly that we never know what someone else is going through.

I've kept a journal since I was 13. I often feel there are stigmas associated with journaling--as if it is an action done by people who feel too much. For me, it is serves as a place to work out my feelings, store memories, exercise my creative writing muscles, and keep a record of the events in my life (I'm sure there is more). I've tried online journaling but it didn't stick--there is something I love about having the pen and the journal in my hand. Having kept a fairly consistent journal for so long has been a source of pride for me--although I'm not sure what I will do with all of them.
Renee Saklikar, a graduate of SFU's The Writer's Studio and a mentor in The Southbank Writers' Program, hopes to produce great work that will call people to think.

Your face has turned into your mother’s face
And when I’m watching you I now mistake
Her battered features. You have lost your grace
In time and places. Were you wide-awake?
Or is it me (my eyes, you know, may err)?
And when I’m watching you I now mistake
Your pace for hers. You were unaware
Of what was yet to come. You married trice…
Or is it me (my eyes, you know, may err)?
And she was looking you. You paid the price
Of what is love, still childless, in a dream
Of what was yet to come. You married trice,
The world around you marking its inseam
Over your skin. Here goes the carving blade
Of what is love, still childless, in a dream.
And in a carnival, a masquerade,
Your face has turned into your mother’s face.
Over your skin here goes the carving blade:
Her battered features. You have lost your grace.

I've signed up for the Open University's Creative Writing course (A215). It doesn't start for a few weeks, but I'm trying to get ahead on the freewriting activities.
Today was sunny first thing so I had breakfast outside and did some writing.
(Posted for Week 34 of 52 Weeks about U)
Paint it the darkest blue, and let it drip
Over the floor and more. The mountain A
Has a hint of bright yellow at the tip
And spills a dusty pollen as it sways.
The waves bring other shapes as they arise
- I see a Bee, I C down to the Z
Growing in numbers, colours, form and size -
Washed in wet pebbles down on the seabed.
I see them clasp and mate and bear their fruits
In form of commas, dots, ending in words.
And after that they sprout trembling new shoots
And berried branches for the letterbirds.
Painting the screen of summer I need to dip my hand
In yellow and in blue: the tint will spread over the land.
(Sonnet by SiRiChandra)

Today I had another writing date with my friend E (I think we're going to make it a regular thing). As I was leaving the house, I grabbed a pad to take with me and when I got to the coffee shop, I found it was a writing tablet I used back in 2008. It had all sorts of interesting stuff in it--but it was great to be transported back to that time. Among some of the things that were in there:
-You know I loves me some milkshake.
-What u doin'?
--Nope, just hangin' with my milkshake
--Just me and my milkshake
--Amigos
I'm sure it meant something at the time. However, now, I have no idea what that was about.
Tonight is Sushi, a glass of wine, and watching The Office on Netflix streaming. Life is good.
