  • Catching the spirit with art
    Jun 11 2026

    I felt the spirit in music as a kid, or at night, or in random moments. I wanted to learn how to hold it outside myself, even if temporarily, through art.

  • Why I like "bad" poetry
    May 21 2026

    Most literary poetry feels like it's looking over my shoulder. Some poetry I read I feel like I deserve a trophy and it belongs on my shelf. Other poetry I feel like I earned a friend and it belongs in my bag.

  • Laughing at myself and sometimes others
    May 8 2026

    I like when a writer or comedian points inwards and laughs at themselves. And I like it when they point outwards (sometimes). I'm more likely to believe them.

  • Resting is important to make quality art
    Apr 23 2026

    It's something I have to force myself to do more often. I'm not a young artist anymore, so to make those leaps in quality, rest is a massive part of this.
