“Light” in NYPL’s Library Zine! Volume 10
I contributed a piece exploring the zine’s theme of Good Vibes, inspired by all the little things my eyes catch, or my mind appreciates, or I feel, and the little ways we touch and improve others’ lives. The artistry of the world everyone shares.

I contributed erasure poetry of a sort from the BBC’s latest ‘Gaza’ article at the time of writing, UN-backed experts say Gaza food supplies improving but 100,000 still in ‘catastrophic conditions’. All proceeds are donated to UNICEF Gaza Crisis Appeal.

As well as the fragmented nature of the sentiments that remained, we were inspired by the deity Sulis Minnerva, current issues, and poems like E. E. Cummings’ “My sweet old etcetera”.

It formed from that, a passing reference I heard to the first paper linking CO2 emissions with global warming, and Dan Smith’s time on the Sargasso Sea with Greenpeace.
