Medium-Density Amorphous

The longing for home—as darkness descends & sickness and death lurk at the peripheries.

The new ice—the medium-density amorphous ice.

The geophony of home—how the wind howls at 212 feet elevation.

It’s good to be home—wherever that is.

What I’m Reading:

JR: Could you tell us your biggest sources of inspiration? 

LK: The bitterness. I am very sad if I think of the status of the world now. This is my deepest inspiration. This could be also an inspiration for the next generation or generations in literature. Inspiration to give something for the next generation, somehow to survive this time because these are very, very dark times and we need much more power in us to survive this time than before.
