Good morning and ᎣᏍᏛ ᏑᎾᎴᎢ! I'm pleased to announce that this poetry blog has now had a total of 53,000 visits since it was started in October 2016. We are currently adding a thousand visits every eleven days, which is 27% faster than when we started. I believe the quality of both the poetry and the illustrations has improved. Another thing that has helped is the Udugi language, which generates a lot of interest, far more than I ever thought it would.

It seems to me that I have found my voice as a poet, a voice that often includes the enforced austerity of a partially indigenous language. I seem to sense a bright future for this work, and a brighter future for us all.

I thank all of you for the support that your interest and enthusiasm provide. ᏩᏙ!
