// BIG BANG // I have the big bang inside me & I hope I explode beautifully beginnings expanding upon themselves exponentially do you think when God made the world he knew what we’d do with it is he bemused by our interpretation of fate or in awe of it did he plan all these miracles or did we read into them like poetry finding metaphors he never foresaw & forging life far past those seven days written by @devonwebbnz published by @silvercloudszine

I haven’t been on here for a while but seeing as it’s the only social media not entrenched in fascism here’s some poetry (I am still active on ig but fuck it’s a hellhole)

Anyway this is called // BIG BANG // published by Silver Clouds Zine & it’s about destiny or whatever ❤️‍🔥

this needs to be a movie actually. I can picture it…… directed by Jane Shoenbrun

// HOW VULNERABLE // Being a romantic is a terrifying enterprise how vulnerable to want something the way I want you I take a photo in my head of you set against the skyline when I’m cold at night I drink it like tea Why do my hands feel so suddenly empty when they have so much to hold I’m getting old & the Summers don’t last will you stay even as the weather keeps changing? Will you put it into words this vacancy in my chest every silence I ever kept will you sing it like a lyric Will you look at me like I’m more than an enigma will you unfold me like a future will you linger like the sun which sets but wakes me in the morning?

My poem // HOW VULNERABLE // in Issue 13 of @livinapress.bsky.social

a devastating love poem written a fortnight before my heartbreak ❤️‍🩹

thank you @lacifelker.bsky.social for having me x

& now to resume my Lemony Snicket reread & damn those parallels to my own life are crazy

Devon Webb's review of The Conference of the Birds (Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children, #5) 3/5: I gave the previous one four stars but it was four & a half, this is four stars bumped down to three & a half because...... I just got so distracted by that romance. It just really annoyed me & t...

I have all these books except the last one which is annoying lol

Devon Webb's review of A Map of Days (Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children, #4) 4/5: A return to the pacing & intrigue of the first book! The only reason I'm not giving it five stars is that I decided I need to be a little more sparing, & maybe I just wasn't fully in the 'zone' f...

I do love quirky things

Devon Webb's review of How to Stop Time 3/5: Picked this up because The Midnight Library is excellent, but this one is significantly inferior. I think this was a vague attempt at expressing the concepts conveyed much more effectively in The...

Midnight Library slaps but meh

Devon Webb's review of The Story Collector 3/5: I'm giving it three stars because it was fine & easy to read but it was also extremely basic & cliche writing which could've been elevated by a good editor, but the editing was perceptibly lazy h...

Mid writing weak editing

Devon Webb's review of The Star of Kazan 5/5: Eva THE GOAT Ibbotson...... still hitting just as hard in my adulthood as she did in my childhood! I treasured my copy of Journey to the River Sea but I didn't own this one, I just borrowed it ...

Eva Ibbotson, icon of my childhood

Devon Webb's review of Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality Not an easy one to rate because I made the conscious decision to read a psychoanalytical text written in 1905...... but I just felt like reading Freud was a good meme for my brand lol & the introducti...

Devon Webb's review of Departed Angels 4/5: I am a simple woman: I see Niche Beat Content, I read. I don't particularly care about the quality of Kerouac's art, which a more discerning art critic might raise an eyebrow at, it's all part of the Lore. & I live for that damn Lore...... Admittedly I found the text element of the book, analysing every little scrawl in detail, a bit of a drag at times ~ I think there was an issue of 'overanalysis' which is perhaps antithetical to the Kerouac ethos. But I was interested in the context behind it, & the connections to various episodes of art history in the Beat era & beyond. I can never k...

Book of Jack Kerouac’s artwork with some…… very in depth analysis

not Bluesky censoring the book cover 😭😭

Devon Webb's review of Mad Diva 5/5: This collection is split into two halves, & so was my experience reading it: the familiarity of before my trauma, & the fractured existence of after it. I don't really know how to explain in a ...

#MadDiva by Cadence Chung, in awe, the launch was incredible as well (opera flash mob?)
