absurd angles
scissors you would never hold that way unless spangles
attached to the chest to impress
not with dress, but what you profess
and the subject of the hair untangles

WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.

The Myth of Brilliance
There is a point in the ascent where the speed stops feeling like speed and starts feeling like genius. It’s the most dangerous part of the upward weather — not because it’s chaotic, but because it feels like truth. The chemistry sharpens everything: thoughts, senses, instincts, confidence. And in that sharpened state, it becomes easy to believe that the brightness is earned.

Rachel Reviews: The Spiral Archive by Pieter Hendrik
It's difficult for me to know where to start with a review of this book as it was, for me, an entirely unique experience and one that I'll probably never have again. I don't want that to be interpreted as unenjoyable but it has left me scratching my head a little and ruminating on its content, its themes and its characters.
