I LOVE your poem for the Muse Ariadne prompt last week. It paints such a fantastical yet grounded scene, and I love that I'm now imagining a bus driving confidently off of a seaside cliff and turning into mist or perhaps a bird. I also relate deeply to the "names I'd go by if I was cooler" list, and I love your layout in general.

thank you so much and likewise! i loved the language in office door—and a repeatedly crossed threshold/moving through but never moving is a great interpretation of the prompt

I'd like to second Owlroost - Snark Gravard is fantastic. Just a brilliant title too.

Thanks, Mike & Owl! I've already made another document for new snippets, so maybe in about two years it'll have a sequel haha. I'm glad to hear you like these patchwork-written poems, I really have fun doing them, but the process of collecting enough brain-floatsam for them takes a loooooooooong time.

I enjoyed your office door poem. This abstract geometry you describe that somehow is also endowed with a salivating mouth and tongue, makes me think of what I always imagined Chinese "door gods" as when I first read about them, though traditionally they're usually just depicted as normalish-looking human beings.

Okay, wow, gonna need to find time to go through the backlog of your essays. For now, I love the observation that the theory and practice of writing are basically touching. And the idea of gleeful misinterpretation of the masters being beautiful as long as it's meaningful to you in the moment. I relate a lot to your 2023 letter, too, especially the bits about fearing rigidity at the heart of organizational systems.

May we all get weirder and more sharply ourselves in 2024.

Thanks for the comment and sorry for my late reply! I feel like my whole experience engaging in art and literature has consisted of nothing but misinterpretation. This isn't exactly gleeful, as I'd like to eventually at least be aware of what others consider to be the "correct" interpretations. It's hard for me to avoid misinterpretation though, so I'm resigned to embracing it.

Catching up on poems after being busy for a while. "Open" is *such* a good encapsulation of that feeling, and I love the sounds in it. Very clattery poem. Very stiff. Wondering if final notes on a symphony is TMA-inspired or if it's just in the air these days. Enjoying seeing all the enthused pen-talk, too, as an outsider. :p

As much as I love TMA, that wasn't inspired by it. :P I just wanted to write about music and went feeling about for interesting comparisons.

Love the little play on your splash page. There's something so earnest and seasoned about the way you combine pictures and text, in the site and the zines. Fun to read about the motivations behind muse ariadne. Seeing a lot of loneliness & communion themes, bridging gaps, in the writings about writing. Also, LOVE your poems.

Hey! Love your site and the cozy clutter. It's so joyful to see you having fun with it. If you still wanna do the cursor stuff, the CSS you want (on the html tag) is something like html { cursor: url("whatever.png") 0 0, auto; padding: 0; margin-bottom: 0; }

Oh, good, I'm so glad you also remember freewebs fondly. I know the whole thing on here is geocities nostalgia, but freewebs was the first silly little home on the web for me and a lot of my friends! haha

Yeah, I have some fond memories building freeweb sites with school friends. As you say, Geocities gets all the love but freewebs seems to have been mostly forgotten.

Wow, you have a really cool site! Love the doily in the background of your splash page and the mirror moth!! The moth especially. Always fun to see a fellow fiber artist, and don't discount the 3D possibilities of knitting! Can't wait to see what else you work on.
