Is Real or Just Fantasy?
The United Kingdom has a new prime minister. Yet another prime minister. And I admit to concerns that Andy Burnham is a careerist rather than a genuine reformer. And whether, even if his avowal of Manchesterism is genuine rather than cynical, Manchesterism is a movement that benefits all rather than being a different privileging from Londonism. What do you think my opinion is of radiotherapy? The…

Art Is a Strange Thing
One of my acquaintances uploaded a few videos of a recent trip they took to the Hemei Mountain Trail with their drone. Some of the footage is the sweeping vistas and soaring pans that drones have opened up to photographers who don’t have easy access to a helicopter; and do offer an eye-pleasing view of the liminal zone between the natural world and the nearby city. But this one created by setting…

Dreams in the Hot House
The WordPress algorithm reminded me this morning that ten years ago I posted a Lovecraftian alternative to Brexit discourse, which in turn reminded me about all the times people then—and since—have referred to leaving political decisions to “the adults in the room”. Glancing at my feed, I fear mummy and daddy are fighting again. …

Ragweed Unicorn
Unexpectedly yet pleasingly, two previously unknown poets invited me to riff on my Yellow Emperor haiku, weaving a rengay. A decadent mask tip to Nara Moore and Paul David Mena for both the enjoyable collaboration itself and the opportunity to make a play on words about being jazzed. Continue reading Ragweed Unicorn

Lateral Thoughtlessness
This morning, I found myself randomly musing on a primary school trip to St. Fagans; specifically, the utter horror I felt during the re-enactment of Victorian schooling when those of us who were left-handed were required to write with our right hands. Less than an hour in a life, soon followed by compassionate explanation of how it showed the United Kingdom had left a prejudice behind—yet it…
A Distant Light by Yasmin Khan & Simon J Ashcroft
Like murmuration, Khan and Ashcroft’s anthology both draws forth a whole from swirling parts and evokes thought of the liminal space between sight and darkness. Continue reading A Distant Light by Yasmin Khan & Simon J Ashcroft
