For poetic-theoretical-philosophical consumption only.

Four matchbox-size brick samples in a paper towel. The brick samples have been cut from bricks belonging (?) to Liverpool’s ‘citadel’ Workhouse, once located where the Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King now stands.

Went to see @laurenelkin.bsky.social speak about her new novel Scaffolding at #LivLitFest at the weekend. Lots of writerly nutrition from Lauren. Currently listening to 90s rave as 6 blokes, unbeknown to me, throw up a load of scaffolding outside my living room window. 🤔🏗️📚
