What to think of a lensmaster who takes a long hard look at who the boys are who do school shootings, who writes about parents talking about sex to their children, post traumatic stress survivors, how to distinguish love from abuse and Manly Men (no that one is NOT about sex), you know you’ve found a unique lensmaster. That lensmaster calls herself Boshemia. As you can see from this overview of the titles of her lenses that appeal most to me, she’s interested in subjects that others would blush to write about. She puts it as the Human Spectrum on her lensography. Sure, but it’s a rare lensmaster who writes about ALL those sticky topics. And without making them racy or sentimental either.
She’s a new giant squid top 100 member and though I knew her work it took the feature at the Giant Squid Community Showcase to take a new look at her lenses. She’s not just a great writer, though each of the lenses featured here are excellent, she’s also a squidoo community sport. Her Welcome to Squidoo lens as well as her #50 lens featuring some great lensmasters (including yours truly) are tribute to that attitude.

What a pleasant surprise! Thank you so much for everything!
You got it right with your take on Boshemia. She tackles the tricky subjects with excellent writing and lots of personal touches. I am a fan!
I first met Boshemia when she was going for the 100 Club. She had written a lens that I immediately identified with, and since then had a lot of respect for her. Someone has to write the hard stuff, and Boshie does a great job with these difficult subjects. Thanks for spotlighting her here.
