Week of Monday, November 17th, 2025

Let's talk about the first to ever do it! I cannot emphasize enough how limited and brief this journey is about to be. 

Welcome to Poetic History I: Ancient to Victorian

Let's talk devices and conventions! Dissecting what might otherwise be felt intuitively as "flow": genre, craft, form, structure, line, syntax, diction, tone, rhythm, etc. 

Welcome to Elements of Poetry

Is it clear yet that I'm trying to cobble together a poor man's creative writing degree with spit, tape, and my increasingly hot laptop... all for a love of the game? 

Welcome to Intro to Literary Theory & Criticism

Is it clear yet that I'm trying to cobble together a poor man's creative writing degree with spit, tape, and my increasingly hot laptop... all for a love of the game?

Welcome to Intro to the Humanities & Cultural Anthropology

Welcome to Intro to Linguistics & Translation Theory

digital, multi-media, form-melding, songwriting, hybrid styles, fragmentation,  use of space, concept & constraint, visuals, lyric essays

Welcome to Forms & Innovations: Hybrid & Experimental Poetics

We live in a society! I know, I was surprised too. 

On the village & love as obligation

A poet's eyes to see

Don't be for everyone, or about everything; unpacking what unites the poetry I love & hate; the choice to break what is known. 

Let's talk about taste!

Master list of affirmations & meditations, updated whenever I want.

The architecture of peace

No. Because poetry about death is about love, too. For those who say poetry "just isn't for me." 

Is all poetry about death or love?

On god stuff, WASP nationalism, and the great reckoning between upbringing and becoming. Let's get uncomfortable! 

On finding out my dad follows an AI slop account about obedient wives

We march steadfastly toward relevance! Once again, I cannot emphasize enough how limited and brief this journey is about to be. 

Welcome to Poetic History II: Modern to Contemporary

Open note to self on productivity, existential authenticity, the creative process, and love as inconvenience. 

The reading corner is still mostly under construction, but the poetry section is open. Thank you for being patient!

Poetry I've been loving!

& My thoughts about it. This is not necessarily a weekly thing, but maybe it is. I do what I want!
