Hi. So here’s the situation. I have committed myself to writing something every Thursday. Why would I do this to myself? Because if I promise you a poem, I have to write one. If I promise you an email, I have to send it. Accountability is a strange and terrifying thing.
What will be in the email? Who knows. Could be an essay about a book that made me cry on public transit. Could be a story about how I tried to make tonkatsu ramen and used wayyy to much salt and wasted 50 dollars (true story). It Could be a wild theory about art, love, or reality. (perhaps the fabric of space time? Im working on one about that).Could just be a meme i liked if im being honest.
But there will be a poem. Every. Single. Week. No exceptions.
I’ll also throw in updates on my projects, the things I’m working on, and maybe the things I’m failing at but still think are worth sharing.
From the people (me) who brought you bangers such as “how to be a memelord” “the pigeon question,” and “Walking Gentry Hom,e” I now present Savants and Syntax! An Alora Young (the Lomeister) production!
Thursdays will be for poems, and everything that grows around them.
Get in loser, we’re writing poetry. Thursday is now the day when you open your email and say, “Oh God, what is she up to now?”
May the spirit of Octavia Butler be with us both,
Alora
