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.

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

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.

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 #SFF 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!
