I wrote a poem entitled _Neuronet_. It is divided in four cantos:
— “Technoprologue”
— “Nanopolis: Canto I”
— “Nanopolis: Canto II”
— “The Synax Guards”

I want to share the first one with you.

IIa

Stellar radiance
we sense it from our capsules
focus the mirrors.

IIb

Archaeology
interprets the ancient gate
as a future door.

IIc

Beautiful cluster
but with blood-tinged nebulae
the free roamers fly.

IId

A simulacrum
anarcho-capitalist?
Infomorphs question.

Ia

Speculative land
cognizing with estrangement
I study the stars.

Ib

In synthetic tales
I analyse Suvinly
more exploration.

Ic

*Verfremdungseffekt*
re-approach reality
by means of fiction.

One day I swear I will find a way to properly articulate the vital, load-bearing work that SFF and horror tropes do in helping me to write about the most difficult stuff. They're kind of like a structure or a scaffold I can rest things on while I examine them and make sense of them and maybe build them into something. Realism feels like such a wilderness for me.

"The world, all breath un-breathed, wreathed me
in the slow creak of frozen sapwood in frost."

I posted my 2022 award eligibility!

Sorry it took me a while - I spent most of 2023 being sick so far.

It has stories, poems, academic articles (the articles aren't all SFF-related).

On Patreon for now, because I need to fix something on my website. Free post, if it gives a popup, just close it (sorry!)

I'll thread highlights here!

also hmu if you’re interested in ( I’m still trying to make a thing!!!) etc etc as I’m always looking for new comrades-qua-interlocutors !! Especially as I begin ~ dissertating ~.

Btw: no degree required. I’m interested in Mad creativity and scholarship, not in individual degrees.
