This new poem, Panem et Circenses (Iterum), all came out pretty much last Friday night as the Raptors basketball team out of Toronto won some championship or other. People cheering “We the North” and generally losing their minds. Sports go sports! [rolls eyes]. Anyhow, it’s new poetry, and in the next day or so I’ll post it to Instagram, do an audio clip with the words on YouTube, and update this post with links.
Some Poetry Today, and…
New poem by Evan Kayne, and a book review
This morning I was reading a collection of Pablo Neruda poetry. Something clicked in me. So I wrote a quick poem titled “I Do All This” under Library of Stories. It will also be available on Instagram, Facebook, and maybe later on YouTube.
As well, following after it is a review I did on The Inheritance of Shame by Peter Gajdics...you can also see this review at Good Reads…which I would link to, but as they won’t let me link directly to my review, here’s the link to it on my site.
Video and pictures
Today just a photo shoved under Multimedia, but if you ever wonder what the red squiggly lines are when you’re typing in most programs, this picture is for you. Learn it, love it.
Also – a YouTube link to a video I made years at a the Calgary Comic Expo, if you need a short laugh. And a warning about the dangers of Parrot Snorfling!
New Flash Fiction!
Under Library of Stories, read How to Feed Your Monsters. It’s a short and hopefully funny story about the dining habits of closet monsters.
My Thoughts about Masculinity
Today in Library of Stories, I’ve posted a CBC radio podcast discussing Masculinity and Indigenous Men. I’ve also included My personal thoughts on masculinity as a gay man, an aboriginal, and how that intersects with masculinity.
New Video and Poetry/Random Thoughts
Hey. Go to my Multimedia page to see the results of tea chemistry and also some poetry/random thoughts.
Added another Original Story
Considering we’re coming out of Winter, under Library of Stories there’s a nice little flash fiction about a conversation between a father and his daughter: When Winter Arrives.
What are “Other Works”
Other Works are kind of a mixed bag. I’ve got links to past articles I’ve published, ideas from other people I’ve found interesting, and just stuff which don’t fit in the Library or in Multimedia.
Today’s Update
And last nights…so added a few old stories under Library of Stories and under Multimedia I added my thoughts as to Disney/Marvel using the late Stan Lee’s Twitter account to promote Captain Marvel…and how well that seems to be going. (Spoiler: It’s not, it’s tacky, and there was a better more respectful way to do it…but no doubt some Marketing a-hole thought it was an awesome idea because any publicity=good publicity).
Three Stories Added
Versus the Mind Reader – a story from the future where fighting a telepath is probably the last thing you want to do.
Just Another Airport Story – a future flash fiction about airports and space travel to Mars.
If Hell is Other People, What’s Heaven Like – Wishes, Genies, and a short fiction about someone who was genre savvy.
All under Library of Stories – they’re older stories I wrote; I gave them another editorial pass.
