Voices/Future Tense

Donna Malcolm Hirsekorn is, along with M. Alan Kaslev, the co-founder of OA. From her biography at the Orion’s Arm site:

I am a Writer and Artist forming words and art with lines that go beneath the surface of humanity. When I draw lines I define form and shape, thus enhancing the compositions by creating rhythm. By deepening dimensions of space, the lines become intuitive and bring order into my chaotic universe.

By writing with lines my worlds become defined and my characters are placed in settings that describe their realities. Humanity is the source of the pioneering spirit in the OA universe. Keeping humanity alive in the future and in the depths of other galaxies and universes give a rational meaning to evolution of humankind in the future. With the perfection of lines comes balance, harmony, unity, and variety. Without developing these principles, intrinsic in humanity, then OA will be a vastly hollow place that is as cold as a black hole.

I have created art my entire life from the early age of seven. Writing often takes a backseat to the pursuit of abstractions coming from peace in my soul when I have brush and paint in my hands. Colors bursting from the surface planes of paper and canvas fill me with energy and freshness. The opposite is true in my writing as pure energy takes over when the keyboard or pen begins to move, rapping out words that are often automatically extracted from the self that is deep within me and as a result peace is found in my fundamental core. I create human characters that live in the realm of the OA universe. Keeping humanity alive is my objective and day by day routines are an important aspect of life in the future and are key to my storylines.

Life has created many ruts in the road and digging out has taken the form of introspection and the ability to formulate words that breathe life into characters that everyone can relate to. Esoteric poetry is a hobby that is inspired by the gentle breezes of the wind passing over the terrain of earth and the horizons of earth and sky coming together to form an endless whole. The rhythm of life gives shape to the future and the continuation of humankind.
