Recommended by Kristen Lenea Ryberg

Once upon a time, I discovered I had many voices in my head and I needed a place to put them—then Substack came along. "To suggest is to create, to name is to destroy." —Stéphane Mallarmé

Paul's crafts with the poet's toolbelt including tearing off to reveal, building on and out...to something resonant. Glad to recommend and due to the most generous Arjun at Trpplffct.
