For this weeks #PoemsAbout #LockedDoors with @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk I wanted to focua on the locks themselves. The complex mechanisms and feats of engineering that are taken for granted.

Just finished up my last shift at the 41st EVA International Biennal of contemporary art. The team were kind enough to share archival documents to all the visitor assistants so I'm pouring over them while hiding from the rain. 😄🌧

For this weeks #PoemsAbout #BurnForTheCamera with @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk I want to look at social media politics and the lack of political literacy that leads to cult-like worship of political parties. As written by an irish socialist.

Back on to #PoemsAbout after a brief sabbatical while starting a new job. For #BreakTheMould with @thebrokenspine.co.uk and @alanparrywriter.co.uk . I wanted to discuss the limitations of clinical trials for medical devices and the variety of human experience. #poetry

For this weeks #LiftToTheSky with @thebrokenspine.co.uk and @alanparrywriter.co.uk I'm recommending Virgil by Steve Orlando, J.D Faith, Chris Beckett, and Thomas Mauer. A 'queersploitation revenge tale' set in Jamaica. This graphic novel combines tense action, emotiinal nuance and beautiful visuals.

For #PoemsAbout #NeverAgain with @thebrokenspine.co.uk and @alanparrywriter.co.uk I looked at the idea that 'never again' can come to late. It never needs to happen again because the deed has been done. What is happening between now and never? In mourning the dead do we look away from the survivors?

For #LiftToTheSky with @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk I'm recommending 'Human Costume' by A.E. Stringer. This poetry collection explores the interonnectivity between physical existance and our sense of self. "Eerie marriage of form / and purpose, the empty / pentagon, ill omen"

For this weeks #PoemsAbout #SilentPlanets with @thebrokenspine.co.uk and @alanparrywriter.co.uk I was looking at the nasa archive photos and thinking about the conservation of natural geologic landscapes and the destructive nature of the theory of terraforming (see: the entire Dune series)

For #PoemsAbout #Candlelight with @thebrokenspine.co.uk and @alanparrywriter.co.uk I'm thinking about ritual practices and the commodification of spiritual practices through culutral appropritaion and colonisation. Coming up to samhain, it seems relevant. #poetry

A little late for #LiftToTheSky with @thebrokenspine.co.uk . For this week I'm recommending 'Angels the Size of Houses' by Aaron Kent. A lyrical and tightly wound collection of that explores temporality, loss and renewal. "We've wrapped the horse in blessings from the Artic's snow- driven tide."

For #PoemsAbout #Facades with @alanparrywriter.co.uk and @thebrokenspine.co.uk I'm looking towards surger and our ability to reshape our outer form as one would a building. For restoration or change to something new, we are at our most vulnerable beneath the skin. #poetry

For this weeks #poemsAbout #Riots with @thebrokenspine.co.uk and @alanparrywriter.co.uk I wanted to consider the connections between protests, civil disobedience, and riots. How these terms have been used to ostracise and delegitimize political movements.
