Unconsenting to allegory: Jocasta Suzanne reviews Eunice Andrada and Amy Crutchfield
Allegory demands perfection of itself – the relation between A and B has to be airtight to function. Insofar as it can only be perfect as mediated through our lives, allegory demands perfection from us as well. It would make sense, then, that in a period of breakdown allegory becomes stressed, intensified to a pitch of delirious, panicky rage; it collapses in on its own perfection, black-hole style.

Eco/burial
The wind is leaving through the leavings, through the cut sprig in your hand the pressed daffodil seedling a single feather in bush. Light a match, burn them together: scent is the most bio-degradable sense; they entangle there like roots, …

The kingdom, hero absent
after Breath of the Wild A still lack of verbs in the landscape: cliffs still the climate— rain on the grass, mist off the streaming, lighting in the draw-distance— still temperate, monsters unhelpful, but no new aggro, no random encounters. …

Darwin Memorial Library
