My biggest rat, Gizzy, does not, in fact, make all da rules. It's this skrunkly little guy who looks like he was put in a dryer for too long lol. ❤️ #petrats #thegeez

A photograph of a Grey dumbo rat climbing on his cage door, next to a red chair. Photograph is slightly blurry as the camera never manages to focus properly on his face.

Some news. In 2022, I began a project of expanding some of the poems from #TheGeez into essays. So far, I've only completed one, but it has brought me some small small recognition. Yes, you can call me an essayist now 😊

First Stanza of the poem Blowing Smoke by Nii Ayikwei Parkes, which can be read at the link in the post.

For Sunday...

First stanza as image, the rest at the link.

"Blowing Smoke is a love poem, but adds so much else that the term becomes reductive, one-dimensional..."

In honour of my #science roots I named a new #poetry #form I developed THE GIMBAL. You're welcome to try one if you feel it. I'll be posting one after this outline thread - one that is in my 2020 collection #TheGeez . The image here is a drawing with gimbals.
