Otherworldly

As a writer, photographer, and artist, I am always striving to look beyond the ordinary in search of the extraordinary!

Introducing the wonderful Otherworld of Debbie Strange (Manitoba, Canada). All the images in today's Corner are by her. A celebrated poet/artist, and dear friend, she 'makes art, tanka and haiku as a daily meditation which connects her more closely to the world and to herself, and believes a little colour and imagination can help to lift our spirits even on the darkest days!'

Inspiring us with her images she quotes Khalil Gibran: 'Let me, O let me bathe my soul in colours; let me swallow the sunset and drink the rainbow.'

Here, poets are the 'others' who respond, at high tide in their imaginations, with impressions and personal reminiscences of important life moments, looking within and beyond her mysterious images with their words.


at high tide

the call and response
of water

we are made of this,
but we are also,
other
