Poetry

Zora

My first poem on /zora. Read and mint Invocation below!

I thought this a fitting one for my first blockchain poem. An invocation is the ancient practice of calling the muses for aid in creative work.

It’s a response to writer’s block—and an understanding that creative expression involves not just “you” but other forces.

Probably the most famous example is Homer’s opening to The Odyssey:

“Sing in me, Muse, and through me tell the story”

Oh, I had not seen this one before, I think. 

Thanks for sharing again. I love it. 

The poem, and your intro in the cast also remind me of the words of Dutch writer Harry Mulisch and the TED talk by Elizabeth Gilbert about being at the right place at the right time to capture a story, poem, piece of art.

Thanks, Arjan! I know the TED talk you’re referencing. I love it. It has influenced a lot of my thinking about creativity.
