I’ve jumped into 2025 with an overdue reorganization of my on-line world. Recently, I deleted my Substack—the format just wasn’t for me. I’ve long enjoyed WordPress and over time it has developed functionality that meets my needs as a creative. So my focus will now be on my WP art blog, and this blog, which is dedicated to words.
I’ve have now changed the name of this, my long dormant book blog, from Amnesiac’s Library to Radiolaria Studios. The original idea behind the blog was to highlight and share things I happened to be reading. Radiolaria Studios is a name I’ve used over time to publish a novella, The Lost Machine, and various prints. Although it too has been dormant for a while, I am bringing it back this year to publish some smaller writing projects—think illustrated novellas and chapbooks. While I continue to aspire to publish in the commercial book world, I also believe I need to make room for quieter projects close to my heart. For that reason, Amnesiac’s Library becomes Radiolaria Studios. Going forward, this blog will focus on the literary end of my creative output. It will be a blog to chat about books I am excited about and my own projects. Richard A. Kirk Art will remain focused on my visual art.
For long haulers, thank you for supporting my work on all fronts. For people new to my work, welcome!
