ARYA'S WRITING & READING BLOG

Here are a few of my artworks made into postcards. Being a poet and writer has challenged my creativity and forced me to expand as an artist. Some of my artwork has made the cover of some of my books and chapbooks. The challenges of creativity never seems to end if you are a poet and writer and must also promote and help make your books marketable and beautiful.                Postcard 1 art by Arya F.

Here's a pic of some of my books in the order in which they were published. The image features three chapbooks, a collection of jazz-inspired stories, and a novel. The most recent is my poetry chapbook, Singing in the Dark .  I designed the cover for Silence Has A Name . And Singing in the Dark  features an image of a painting of mine.  In the upcoming era of governmental repression and suppression, in which art and literature, among other things, will be under threat, creating and sharing art and literature will feel like rebellious acts.  May writers and artists continue to write, paint and share their work as acts of resistance. Create, share and be glad. May your creativity thrive and your words be read. May truth prevail and never be silenced.                                                        ...
