LITERARY PROJECTS
Well, what can I say about my writing? Nothing essential, really. Much less than you would know if you read it. But summaries do have their value, and so I will attempt one.
My involvement as a writer begins in 1984. I began writing in English in 1993. As a writer, I am interested in exploring the unexpected angles of reality, the strange impulses of the mind, the impossible situations, at the same time paying the primary attention to the most general realities of the human condition. I try to write the type of work that is not tied to a particular time or place, but could be enjoyed by readers everywhere, in the past and in the future.
In my work, you will find numerous conceptual and stylistic explorations, spurting out in varied directions and often without much in common. Hopefully some of this will resonate with your soul or with your mind – or, if I’m truly lucky, with both. Ultimately, art has no objective value: it’s the tiny drops of subjective tears and the miniature sparks of subjective thoughts that make it worthwhile.
As far as my "official successes" as a writer are concerned,
it
is only in the last couple of years that I have started a campaign to bring my
literary work to print. I am the winner of the
2008 E. M. Koeppel Short Fiction Award from Writecorner Press. My other
prose and poetry publications include Gaslight, Confrontation – A Literary
Journal of Long Island University, Profile, Peralta Press, The Iconoclast,
Nuvein, Epicenter, Sugar Mule and Gival Press. Most recently,
some of my work was accepted by the Hawai’i Pacific Review and Word Riot.
