About Me

Recapture
This blog of my writing and writing interests has the name it has, 'Recapture', because writing, for me, relocates something integral and important that's been lost, forgotten or overlooked. I feel the writer doesn't invent new or previously unknown realities, so much as the writer recovers immemorial realities. And that's why writing matters.
