Four years of writing sorts into six pillars. They are not equal and they are not separate: the day job and the art school keep making the same argument in different rooms, and the 1978 pit village is underneath all of it. Click any theme to read its posts.
Six pillars, thirty-three themes
Output by month, coloured by pillar
Twelve recurring motifs
Motifs are images rather than subjects — the things that turn up inside posts about something else entirely. The count is the number of posts that actually deploy the image, not the number that touch the topic.
Seventy-five terms he minted, bent or kept coming back to. Each was checked against the post it first appears in.
Seven curated anthologies, drafted and ready to edit. Seventy-one posts across them, no post used twice.
Each collection exists as a markdown draft with an opening essay, a deliberate reading order and a verified pull quote for every entry. Numbers below are the reading order, not the publication order.
Every theme, motif and minted term in one field. A word's size is the number of posts that use it; themes take their pillar's colour, his own coinages are set in italic, and the recurring images sit in mono. Hover a word for its gloss.
Sizes run from one post (smallest) to 36. Theme counts include secondary tags; motif and lexicon counts are the posts that actually use the image or term. Click a theme to read its posts.
