Beautiful. I love gore MUCH space each of these pages has. I haven’t read much erasure poetry, and the ones I have often feel cluttered. Not these!

Aww thanks so much Brian, appreciate it - yeah I am really trying to explore the activation of space/time with these - the blank page as a virtual field (of grass, of flowers, of energy). 🖤

Awww thanks Kim 🖤 Just a little bit every day. For many many years I put very little out into the world, so it feels good to let things go with a bit more abandon!
