Piece of World
http://elazawratpieceofworld.blogspot.com
This blog is about the world and I. That is, about my perception of world news through a tunnel. A vision that expands into associations, emotions and art. I'm an Eastern European (Polish mostly) woman living now in the USA. I'm struggling with using a new language and with balancing between nostalgia and forgeting.
what's out there - books, music, movies etc
http://elazawratwot.blogspot.com
This blog is about the books I've read or flipped through, movies I have seen, music I've heard and liked. Or didn't like. Mostly about the things I like, letting the other stuff slip away from my memory without letting it take another byte of the internet.
Ela Zawrat - Journal
http://elazawratjournal.blogspot.com
I like trees and changes of weather. I speak and write self-taught English, paint self-taught paintings and write self-taught poetry sometimes. I self-forget my mother tongue and my past, and then I remember it again. This blog is as close as I can get to the "regular" journal. Events, as they go. Momentary urges to write or to create an image. Putting things on the top of a pile. My other blogs are like drawers with different labels on them, an attempt to sort things out.
Art Closet
http://elazawratcloset.blogspot.com
This blog is about me messing around my tiny studio, pulling out my old paintings out of the closet, remembering how I painted them, taking pictures, writing down my dreams about "being" a painter. "Being" that is, being more often, having more time to be in the zone of a painter, the "state of a painter", in the world of non-existing things that start to exist, if you paint them.

poetry under construction
http://zawrat.com/00_blog_poetry_under/
writing poetry on the go, editing it, writing in English as my second language. Language is my second language, by the way.
