Macxermillio – Behind The Words
This took my breath away…
Am i what I fear? Do I fear the person I am? Is that why I am silent and withdrawn, Thinking I could hide? Is that why I refuse to be, and to be seen? For to be seen is to be. Is this why I’m frozen?
‘This umbrella tires of holding up the rain’
A beautifully written poem by S.Francis.
Poems “Zephyr”, ‘The Great Illusory Bamboozle…” and “Skymning: Interludes” published in The Wire’s Dream
Sorry if I’m a bit late with this one, the books beckoned – but three of my poems, “Zephyr”, “The Great Illusory Bamboozle Of The Polka Dot Shirt” and an old one, “Skymning: Interludes” have finally been published in the 2nd issue of The Wire’s Dream.

Interview with Christina Lydia for The Wire’s Dream
In which I enter fangirl territory on Yukio Mishima and Iris Murdoch, talk about creativity, what writing means to me personally, tips on writing…basically, I talk a lot here. Come read my interview with Christina and…well, just come and read it. 😂
Sneak peek of my poem, ‘Zephyr’ in The Wire’s Dream
I am very excited to announce that one of my poems, ‘Zephyr’, will be published in the forthcoming issue of The Wire’s Dream, produced by Black Lion Journal!
It was an amazing experience working with Christina, the editor of TWD. I first knew and heard of her through a comment left on my poetry, where I was cordially invited to submit to the journal.

I am very tempted to rave on about the importance of art, but I don’t think anyone appreciates lunatics (and it’s not even the full moon, d’oh!). Plus, you might forget to watch the full list of snippets from the other featured artists, and my video spotlight below…
Sandcastles — kashiana

Sexual Orientation in Astrology – Podcast
This podcast was really interesting because it delves into the physical limits of biological gender, astrological and societal challenges/phobias that the LGBTQ community currently faces and how the masculine/feminine principle has undergone radical changes in the cultural and linguistic context. What does it mean to actually be male or female? What does it mean to be maybe even be neither, or somewhere in between? Is our sexuality a conscious choice, or a state of being?
