Conceit: Words

When you are at a loss for words, very little gets done.

I would hurl words into this darkness and wait for an echo, and if an echo sounded, no matter how faintly, I would send other words to tell, to march, to fight, to create a sense of hunger for life that gnaws in us all. ~Richard Wright, American Hunger

Another conceit: Just me, a Diva Echo, and my bowed psaltery

: Name: K. A. Laity; Location: Hudson Valley, NY, United States

This is a blog for writer K. A. Laity, the author of Unikirja (Aino Press 2009), a collection of short stories based on the Kalevala, Kanteletar, and other Finnish myths and legends, for which I won the 2005 Eureka Short Story Fellowship and a 2006 Finlandia Foundation grant. I have also written Pelzmantel: A Medieval Tale as well as other stories and essays. I teach medieval literature, film, New Media and popular culture at the College of Saint Rose. The news blog title comes from my first student film, Un Amor Peligroso or the Wombat's World; it was also the title of a zine I used to publish. Unless otherwise identified, all writing here © K. A. Laity. Lege feliciter!
