Himal Lit Fest tentative dates –All the world’s a stage.

Mauve are release dates on Himal Southasian website of stories every other day. Then they will be up there forever.

I don't yet know times of Twitter panels and have to learn how to use spaces in meantime.

I am very excited as I love all these panels, poetic, political, as all panelists are already curated in it's like meeting your soul brothers and sisters.

Writers of the World, Unite, right?

Now it's on Zoom--others,in Berlin,Helsinki, NY City, Toronto,Calgary,DeKalb IL, Ann Arbor,Mchigan--Boulder,CO,Ubud, Bali, all good in terms of panels and presenters and audience response, but sometimes pol. lackeys and professional SOBs busy heckling--or more.

Like the Other Side taking photos or stealing evidence photos.

Won't go into detail here. Read my published work.

Zoom is safer in that respect, but tech makes one "once removed."

But post-Rushdie stabbing and Covid on-going, it's likely to be the norm from now on

so you and I must learn at least to use some of the tech.

If you have writerly/artistic ambitions get to work--just show your stuff, selling orchids, selling clothes, used books, new books, it's all the same.

Don't be afraid.

I started reading poetry downstairs in the community room of the dorm I Iived in.
