when writing a haiku, what do you find makes you say 'ah yes, i'm especially pleased with this one'? sorry, i know it's kind of a nebulous question....but i'm curious!

Q&A♪Q&A♪Q&A!

hello! I'm curious about your art - previous versions of your website featured some of your illustrations. what inspires you in terms of subject matter and in what you share? unrelated: what is your favourite kind of postcard to receive (subject matter/design)?

What is your favorite day of the week, and why? Do you have a current song that you keep repeatedly listening to? A phrase of a poem that you have never forgotten. Something you have realized about yourself or about the world for the past months. Love, love, love!!!!!!!

i really like a wizard of earthsea by ursula le guin and i haven't yet made time for Middlemarch unfortunately

parable of the sower by octavia e butler !

currently thinking about "the book of goose," by yiyun li, and "a spy in the house of love," by anais nin.

i second octavia butler and offer up ntozake shange

"miao dao" by joyce carol oates was like my favorite short story in middle school! its one of her more niche works but i just love oates writing in general.

Permafrost by Catalan writer Eva Baltasar:)

i really enjoyed toddler hunting and other stories by kono taeko!

tananarive due is one of my favorite authors, with 'the between' being my favorite of hers!

No points for creativity but Mary Shelley's Frankenstein :)

zami by audre lorde!!

recently loved "the fawn" by magda szabó

oops i was gonna say ursula k le guin and mary shelley but i was already beaten to it

"hooked" by asako yuzuki & "notes on a scandal" by zoë heller were compelling reads to me ^_^

Thank you ♡ I appreciate your well wishes :)
