This weeks Saturday Poetry, matched with mobile photography/art is entitled ‘Countdown as Slow Kisses’ by Michael Wasson. “We are given these bodies—full of beauty, ache, and history—and are told to survive.

Mobile Photography Intimate Interview with Juta Jazz from Cyprus
Our eighty third interview in this series of mobile photography intimate interviews is with talented mobile photographer and artist Juta Jazz from Cyprus, originally from Lithuania. When I asked her within this interview ‘what drives you on?‘, she replied ‘Something I can’t reach…‘ – this response touched me because isn’t that essentially what drives us all on? I believe, in many ways, we can all answer this question in the same way but what is it, that we cannot reach? We see life through the lens of our earliest relationships, though we usually don’t realise it. Our conscious minds are tiny iceberg-tips on the dark ocean of the unconscious. Each…
