Thanks M. Forajter for publishing two of my poems ("To Lift" and "Night Shift") in this sublime new "Art & Annihilation" issue of @thearsonista.bsky.social. So many kindred spirits are here, too! 🖤 ❤️‍🔥

Out via @steelincisors.bsky.social is Music For The Last Couple by Paul Hawkins ... perceptions of normality, chaos, travel, the art of sound-making, fractured theories & Adam Curtis films. Selected text then fed into an AI photo-generator for added dissonance. Spoken words: On The Brink album.

"Endlessly refreshing itself, Hawkins creates a world that's believable, but never quite real. Reality itself is on the brink, it’s on the blink, blink-and-you’ll-miss it. A work that revels in being both lucid and impossible to pin down; a real treat, something to sink your mind into."

Notes on a travelogue movie-bricolage made of objects in transit. Objects as stories of drainage and refilling, dry-drinking and neural pathways to the sun, burnt-out and on the blink. A story of facts and imagined facts imagined or dreamt and of the space between them."
