Indie Ink Dot Org


'Composition. Not Competition'.

This is the brilliant tag line for the newly-launched Indie Ink.org, a modern version of The Algonquin Roundtable meets Life magazine.

For here you will not only find a wide variety of exceedingly well thought-out and articulate essays & poetry, but also photographs that are simultaneously beautiful and evocative.

All chosen by the discerning eye of a highly-talented editrix, with a critical audience in mind. Because let's face it - we here in the blogosphere are a pretty tough crowd.

With a voracious appetite for the new, the different, the edgy, the resonant, Indie Ink offers a invaluable service to its visitors - it filters through all the works that the Interwebs has swirling around and distills it down to present the potent artistry that is out there, waiting to intoxicate us.

Not entirely unlike those afternoons at the Algonquin with Parker and Benchley.

Olive or maraschino cherry, there is something for every taste.

Read now - write now.

I'm trotting off in just a moment to check it all out - can't wait.

BTW - I have my grandmother's book Enough Rope, Poems by Dorothy Parker, dated 1926. It's magnificent.

Countess CBW: Wow! That is a real treasure!!! I'm really trying to work on the whole materialistic thing, but while I'm working on it, let me just say how jealous I am. :)
