The One Who Vanished into Silence

Dongshan Liangjie – The One Who Vanished into Silence (807-869 CE)

or My Creative Aphasia 2015-2023. When I  decided I wanted to have some business cards in my new career as poet,  I chose the title ghost of a poet, risen and when I signed up for Instagram I used the same as my first screen name.

At first I thought ghost of a poet, a phrase that frequently occurred to me as I came out of my atypical antipsychotic creative aphasia. When it was past, I added risen.
