Introduction: Alfajiri (early morning-KiSwahili)

My Old Dad never let me leave the house without a piece of fruit and a book. My Old Earth always brought home paperback sci-fi novels and comic books from yard sales. From a being a young grasshopper to now the importance and beauty of the written and spoken word was stamped on my synaptic grid.

Asiatic Light.

Original People (Indigenous so called people of color)have always flaunted the word made flesh/fresh. Metal movable type was first invented in Korea during the Goryeo Dynasty (around 1230). The architects of Hip Hop remixed technology so that they could sample bits of sound and overlay it with stories of ghetto griots. Many Native nations utilized smoke clouds to etch messages on the winds.

Asiatic Light is a green micropress and literary preservation community in the making (always in the making)that is geared towards the works of Original People. We are steeped in web 2.0 technology and our style is ancientfuturistic.

This blog is just the herald of the website that will manifest sometime during the month of February. It's goal is to keep you in the know as to what is going on with Asiatic Light, what we are fully about, and to share with you insight into the world of words.

We invite you to journey with us as we bring words to light. Always bringing things to light.
