this time it’s personal

forget-me-not

At the end of each DCTN blog post, alongside my photo, the biographical slogan says:

Exploring the boundary between writer and narrator through first person poetry, prose and opinion.

In my experience, that boundary is a blurred area of parallel existence, overlap and division, and I tend to focus on the places where there are points of separation.

The narrator and writer here are never exactly equivalent: in general, even first person posts are made with the reader in mind rather than any exact truth (if such a thing exists) and once something is published, I try and disconnect from it and sever any specific personal associations.

Today, though, this is for me. I still hope you like the photos, but they were chosen for purely personal reasons.
