This shimmers Kafka yet it's
Posted on Tue, 08 Apr 2014
This shimmers Kafka yet it's original, too. Full of metallic-breathed anxiety and wet underarms, of shrinking, the brain pacing out inadequacy, being forced to take up less space in a world of space-abusers and big nosed people that believe,...

Mandy, the mushroom imagery
Posted on Fri, 11 Apr 2014
Mandy, the mushroom imagery and the darkness of the forest grabbed me straight away. I was expecting the spore imagery to spread to Liam somehow - an ex boyfriend of mine reminded me of a mushroom. My only gripe is I wanted more.
