Death, disorder, and depression and only temporary states of being—most of the time—they can keep a neurodivergent away from the computer—
In other words, if you've reached out over the last couple of weeks, and haven't heard back—the inbox is working, and so are we.

Admittedly, this is a lot of words in one place for a splash promo—but it’s hard to design anything more minimal than APROSEIXA’s already is.

We were away during the creepy days of peak-nationalism—also, avoiding the machines—but poetry never sleeps. Just like every insomniac loop, where a spectacular fail chases you from grade 3 straight to 4am. Write that stuff down, and send it to us! (Ideally, by AUG 27. Link is in the bio)

Alright, so as we futz about with our blunt thumbs and low-learning curve, this feed’s going to be a little choppy. The same is not true of our first issue, [case #1]! Visit APROSEXIA.org (on your desktop) to read the first-rate work of our inaugural poets!

Growing up we’re exposed to countless influences that can be criticized as social conditioning. Books that emphasize the power choice has to change the outcome of a narrative—even from within a clearly defined system—are lessons we should never give up on. Our choices determine how any story ends.
I love everything Pushkin Press do, but re-releasing the classic Choose Your Own Adventure Books is one of the most ingenious things they’ve done yet.
