About the Poet

Karima Hoisan is my avatar. I am soul-infused and was born (rezzed) in the virtual world of Second Life on the 26th of December 2007, and reside on the same sim whereupon I rezzed, one that fate has given to me as my own, Misty Shores, LINC Island.

I perform frequent readings throughout SL, utilizing voice with selected music, some, my own original compositions, and images I display of photographs and artwork to accompany each poem. Many of my poems have been made into machinimas through the continuing creative partnership with Natascha Randt (filmmaker). Randt & Hoisan Productions have made 29 videos together; all can be found under the category “Machinima” in this blog. I find every day in this virtual world an inspiration. Sadly. Nat passed away this last 3rd of September 2021. May she rest in peace- Allah yirhamha.
 I am both published in Second Life as well as in my Real Life.
If you are  curious about my real life..I came out of the virtual closet this year:)
