This week's Saturday Sharing introduces you to some recent finds in the world-wide web of blogs.
✦ Take a peek at attorney Kimberly Bender's blog the location; even if you're not a local, as I am, you'll be delighted by what you'll find, including Bender's recent post "Hidden Tunnels, Bugs, and Bigamy: A Strange and True D.C. Story".
✦ Indie publisher Fact-Simile produces handmade books and book-objects, as well as a twice-yearly large-format literary journal available online at no cost (in print, while supplies last). Of note are Fact-Simile's trading cards featuring writers. The cards for the 2011 12-writer series feature a poem.
✦ Toronto artist Sara Sniderhan showcases some of her work on her blog, Best of Sniderhan and talks shop at a second blog that keeps readers up to date on workshops, gallery openings, and other art-related matters. Sniderhan's a wonderful painter and is represented by Ingram Gallery.
✦ Northwest writer Jeannine Hall Gailey, whose second book She Returns to the Floating World will be published this fall by Kitsune Books, is offering a summer series of interviews with poets on Jeannine Blogs.
✦ Activist poet Joseph Ross, co-editor of Cut Loose the Body: An Anthology of Poems on Torture and Fernando Botero's Abu Ghraib (American University, 2007), writes here about a wide range of literary events. Read some of his poetry here.
✦ Roderick MacIver, founder of Heron Dance, a nonprofit literary and art studio in Vermont, writes a daily illustrated e-journal, Reflections of a Wild Artist, that takes as its subjects "love, compassion, and beauty as central elements of a well-lived life". His Heron Dance Press publishes print and e-books, as well as notecards, calendars, and blank journals. To see MacIver's online gallery of beautiful original paintings, in watercolors and acrylics (some also are available as giclees), go here.
