I’ve lost myself again
trapped in what I can pretend
is real and not imagined. Continue reading “Misplaced Missives #28: Mazes”

Lie To Me
Tell me about the sanctity of nature,

Reblog Wednesday: “A Persian Brew” – Mahdis Marzooghian
We’re going to start reblogging and/or linking one essay, article, or blog we find interesting, emotive, or hilarious each Wednesday, because sharing is caring.
Update, Oct 24, 2019: The original link to this article was broken/not found, so I searched the Google and found a more recent publication of the article.
First up this week is a vivid essay, “A Persian Brew”, by Mahdis Marzooghian about her experiences growing up Persian in the US. Mahdis is a friend and the Editor-in-Chief over at FiveOnTheFifth.com,
http://www.theadirondackreview.com/mahdismarzooghian.html – “A Persian Brew”
The most succinct thing I can say about Mahdis’s writing is that she made me — a white, blonde-haired, American male — feel like I was living her experiences. That is the connective power of brilliant storytelling.
I recommend reading the full issue here, but I just wanted to highlight Mahdis’s piece in particular. (Steve D)
