Wonderful. I love the subtlety of this and how you ground it early on in a pre-colonial pre-Capitalist respect for the land. It skilfully calls to mind some of the images seen over the last few days. A poem that does its job well. True art.

Mmmmm. Lovely. I really like the visual quality of this, but also what reads as a fitting/well chosen metaphor to me. I love how you seem to have developed that into the description. I'm a bit stuck with form / layout at the moment, but you've...

Posted on Fri, 20 Dec 2019
I get the same feeling I had reading Dostoyevsky. That's a positive. The prose grips me and doesn't let go. Great intensity. No flat spots. No loss of momentum. The kind of detail that I felt could drive me mad. Again, a positive. Nicely done...

I also found my way into (kind of) teaching. I'd seen and experienced a humiliation or two, and just fallen foul of bad learning environments...

Get involved! :)

Posted on Sun, 17 Nov 2019
I'm doing a part time contemporary (at the moment) based one. It doesn't feel like we're into the meat of it at the moment. Been reading lots and writing my first summary responses - a kind of reflection. We have an overall one to write in...

Posted on Sun, 17 Nov 2019
I've got dozens of pages in notebooks. It's hard to write about this. And in some sense disloyal and self-centred. A problem of our times, perhaps, as we're pushed and pushed to improve and achieve. I'd been wondering what I'd do for a year or...

Conjured lots of images, onemorething.
Lovely visual writing - light and easy to trip through (skills).
