Rhea Rakel Betty Harders-Poet: Jeg føler mig ofte som alt, og indimellem som intet – andre gange priser jeg livet, og skammer mig – forbander det, og skammer mig – elsker med det, uden at skamme mig, og frygter det, uden at frygte at miste det. Jeg er det jeg skriver, og skriver det jeg er – skulle jeg aldrig mere skrive, ville jeg ej længere leve Trække vejret ville jeg nu nok, ånde ind og ud, løfte mit højre øjenbryn, når mit mistroiske sind tog over, lade mine øjne danse med kvinderne på gaden, og drømme mig væk i beduggede seancer af kærlighed – men leve helt, ville jeg ikke. Jeg ønsker en dag, at se mit navn på en bogreol, kendt ønsker jeg ikke umiddelbart at være eller blive, men anerkendt, for det jeg formår at præstere, i ord, handling og følelse.

Iskra Dinkova-Blogger: I really dislike writing about myself, mainly because I have no clue on what I should write and then what I write would be influenced on my current mood, so it’s either going to be a very bleak and depressing introduction or a very cute and bubbly one. To spare you the headache, let’s say that the phrase “everything and nothing” fits me quite well, so move along.
Janis Lynn Frankø-Poet/Blogger: The forever changing textures of the lake by my home in Silkeborg, Denmark, the oud, wind and dried camel bones of the desert and the memories of my youth in California, collide and coexist simultaneously, to represent the images in my writings and art and of a life spent equally distributed on three vastly different continents. I am the desert rat blogger, who has climbed out of her desert burrow into the confines of four white Danish walls. My desert rat nose is keen and always draws me back to Århus.Århus was my point of entry into Denmark almost 23 years ago, my home for 5 years and now even through I am “exiled” to Silkeborg, it is still my chosen town to visit. I love Århus and all it has to offer in ways of diversity of culture, texture and sights and smells.
