This is absolute fun.

Definitely happy to hear that. I was worried that it was a bit too mean, or that it'd just fall flat.

It’s definitely sharp-elbowed, but it grows more and more open-ended, hence the fun.

I'm so glad I listened to that. Sam and D.A. are right; wonderfully lyrical. So many shifting visuals, too. It felt like something Gerald Scarfe would animate.

Thanks James, I'm happy the recording went to good use. The Scarfe connection is good. His contorted, elongated figures match the fragmented sense of identity I was going for.

The rhythm builds and builds as the poem goes on. A captivating reading experience.

Really glad to hear that, and pleasantly surprised.
