Interview _ Siobhan Logan

June 04, 2007

Poetry, Football and the Spirits in the Sky For centuries, people in the northern hemisphere have been so entranced by aurora borealis , the eerie display of lights that invade the winter skies, that they have woven myths and legends around these lights. Colour Catchers , an all-star cast poetry performance that will be hosted on December 12, 2006, by Leicestershire poet, Siobhan Logan will be exploring some of these myths and legends. The performance will revolve around a sequence of 13 poems which range from intimate personal accounts to epic narratives of unearthly journeys. Siobhan Logan says: Some of them focus on the science of what we know about the Aurora Borealis. But for most, I've raided this fantastic story-hoard from countries across the Arctic Circle. "Naming the Lights", for instance, is based on the various names used for the lights by people from the Native Americans of Alaska, to the Inuits of Greenland, the Scots, Laplanders, Russians, etc.

In this interview, Marita van Aswegen talks about her writing: When did you start writing? I wrote my first story when in 1964 when I was fifteen. I sent it to a magazine ... but it was rejected. It was a love story and I sent it to Sarie . That was the favorite magazine of the sixties. I was a teenager and my mind was filled with roses and moonshine and the perfect love. What would you say motivated you to start writing? As long as I can remember, I always wanted to write a book. During the years when my children were small, I wrote essays and poems because essays are short and you can complete one in an hour or so. ( Small children do not gi

Interview _ Erik Schmidt

August 31, 2011

Erik Schmidt lives in Georgia and is a sports editor and a freelance writer. 10 of his short stories appear in the anthology, Cover Stories: A Euphictional Anthology (CreateSpace, 2010). In this interview, Erik Schmidt talks about his writing: When did you start writing? I had to write fictional stories throughout elementary school, but I started taking it seriously — or at least as seriously as any 11-year-old boy can take anything beyond backyard football and baseball cards — in sixth grade. Our teacher, Mrs. Jacoby, consistently had us write 100-word essays and then read them aloud in class. I remember thinking some of the topics were boring or uninspiring, so I started creating my own themes for my own amusement. They weren’t anything special, but it was important for me to realize that innovation, creative thinking, and stepping outside the expected parameters are huge elements in the writing process. There was no epiphany or mind-blowing realization in regards to

The saga of the matriarchal herd just continued to evolve and develop over a period spanning 14 months. Upon completion, and without any notion of publication, I decided to memorize the story in order to be able to recite it to like-minded audiences; people with an abiding love and respect for our environment and nat
