Samples of creative works by members of Lowlands-L
Ever since Lowlands-L went online in the early part of 1995, and as subscribers
got to know each other better, even forged off-list friendships, it has become
abundantly clear that we have more than our normal share of creative people
on this list. Actually, this shouldn’t come as a huge surprise. After all,
pretty much all of us are interested in language and culture, many of us with
interests beyond the boundaries of the “Lowlands.”
People who share an interest in language on
an “academic” level (be this as professionals or as amateurs) tend to enjoy
the language arts and to “play” with
them themselves, or with the arts in general (comprising languages of images
and sounds). Some pursue their creative outlets in private, others have published,
exhibited or performed their works locally, and yet others are known for
their works nationally or internationally. Some tend more toward academically
descriptive
approaches while others prefer more “artsy” approaches, and then there are
those that are active in both areas.
This website is intended to give
members of Lowlands-L an opportunity to exhibit samples of their works, preferably
on the general theme “My Lowlands.”
The only conditions are that all works be by
members of the organization, that their creators agree to online publication
and that all works be suitable for
an international audience of as wide an age range as possible. (We prefer
to stay away from clearly adults-only material.)
In order to be encouraging and supportive we have set no minimum skill level,
and we refrain from ranking or passing value judgment. People’s works are
expected
to speak for themselves, and it is up to you, our visitor, to peruse and
hopefully enjoy them without being swayed by summaries, analyses
and other sorts of “pre-chewing” on our part.
If you wish to comment on any works or on
the
gallery in general, please send us
an
e-mail message and
let us
know
whether
or not we may publish it online if it is relevant, fair and non-abusive. Please
feel free to use any language you prefer.
If you are
a publisher, anthologist, agent, curator or researcher and are interested
in any specific person or work, please send us an e-mail message, and we will assist you in any way we can.
