Why I 🧡 the web.

https://adrift.site/

A "small web experiment"

People’s anonymous doubts float past as tiny paper boats. You can open them, or fold and release one of your own. Background music too.

"Quiet, a little haunting, and oddly comforting".

Adrift — A Quiet Place to Share or Read Anonymous Doubts

A quiet place to anonymously share doubts as paper boats, or read others’ drifting doubts.

I'm super excited to have a #poem 'Sàl' (Brine) in #Paperboats, where I'm riffing off the #Gaelic rowing songs.

The poem aims to evoke the #Irish brig The Exmouth, sunk off #Islay in 1818 causing a huge loss of life, whilst the narrative links Gaelic-speaking communities across the Straits of Moyle. So, whilst I'd never usually write in a woman's voice, it's really the ship talking back from the seabed.

A bit of a departure for me, so we'll see if it lands ⚓
