- "I am very glad you saw that in it. That is the most important point. It is my way of making these poems personal. I take it personal, since while I work on them I go through the same transformation. It starts out as a dark game and an act but along the way there is the transformation. All the way from when I wrote "Will Of The Rose" and till now I have done it hundreds of times. To futher share some writters info I usualy write hard facts, reason or intend in the middle, but end the poem with decribing how it(she) effected me in 3 person. It is a formala I became aware of after awhile, it was never scripted. Yes I did cry in the end of writting will of the rose, and I think it just went from there. It is also my way of being able to put myself in someones place without being confused, numbed, or hardened over the years. If anything I am able of being more outraged or sad then ever ;) Mostly since the older I get, the more I see how simple minded many people are. Two kinds of people. Those that build and those that destroy. That is a provoking statement, since many people use their whole life trying to be "special". But I could also say two kinds of people. Those that use their time secretly wishing they could crawl back up in their mother(god) and/or kill her, and then those who realize that life is an experience and that wishing and killing(agression) simply is admitting to an incredible immature weakness. Breiwik is a great example. Confused, wanting to crawl up in his mother for sure if he could, but he can not so he treated her like shit secretly wanting to kill her. Undeveloped individuals, who try so hard to convince the world that they are not weak. Also, those that wish(prey) will allways find those that kill(destroy) incredible strong. They are the same weakness, just one is feminine and one is masculin. Thus, the jail mails... Rant out :p"

- "Interesting :) In my mind there is something moraly perverted about filming passively. However logicly it breaks silence if the truth comes out. Then again the global world is bombarded with such news of atrocitys, that could possible serve to numb or harden the general mindset. Think I will stick to figuring out what happends in the minds of the victim, witness and to some extend the agressesor. Let someone els analyse the bigger picture. Btw I have been here since 2003! ;)"

- "I like the way the persona ends up more than empathizing with the 'she' in the poem... he, the photographer and writer, becomes one of the 'she' to be left alone... a plea for feminine sovereignty, maybe... for peace among genders, even... amid daily vice imposed upon by those men we'd all love to see leave, maybe. thanks, thoughtful words."

- "Yea I tried to make this broad so it could fit alot of cases. Mostly on my mind was Tamil journalist Isaippiriya. It was originaly from 2003 about an incident in vietnam, but I gave it a total reedit, actualy more of a rewrite. Isaippiriya was raped and killed by the Sri Lanka military after the war was supposed to be over. Like many other Tamils. One of the consequenses of the so called terror list. It is okey since hey, their fighters are on the terror list. Terrorist, journalists who cares right. In anyway that guvernment and many others love the list, since they can do whatever they want then. None know who took the photos and videos of her body. But here I give the man/men a benefit of doubt and hope he has a foul taste in his mouth in the years to come. And yes it is about baring witness, but being unable to do anything, so you are spot on."

- "Made me angry and scared at the same time. As a woman I find it hard to understand how some cultures see women as less than human, or that they deserve to be treated as animals because there isn't a penis attached to them. This gave me a vision of a man wanting to somehow right the injustice, but only being there to record the situation, being powerless to do so. Thanks for posting this, love your thoughtfulness and intellect - XXOO"
