#SpeakerfortheDead is a eulogy account to venerate and celebrate the lives of people who have passed away.
These are odes to peoples' lives, the impact and legacies of actions and ideas, relationships and moments of greatness, the quiet and riot of everything that makes a person.
As author I want to shine a light on the beings who die tragically or heinously, but not to focus on the events of their death but their doings. If this doesn't happen then it wasn't meant to, and the lives of those whose deaths are not publicised are no less important.
Use the hashtag if you want to bring someone to my attention, or give information about someone I'm writing about. (Of course only give public information when posting publicly - if necessary I can create a secure channel for personal knowledge that isn't public).
The writings could be poetry or prose, spoken word or song. I don't know how long they'll take or how good they'll be but that's not really the point.
Holla if you got questions about #speakerforthedead here, feel free to follow me on main to interact with the human vessel for this project.
one love
@speakerforthedead @anilmc #Egypt RIP Ahmad Adawiyya. The Egyptian music establishment & govt. banned his recordings called him vulgar - while the Egyptian ppl played his audiotapes everywhere. And Egypt (Umm Hassan) still needs a zar (a line from his famous song Salamitha Umm Hassan)
