As skilful as it is intense - @humsentence goes full throttle.

@BenjaminDMuir @damiankelleher @Unwise_Trousers It IS mindblowing. It is also a tough slog that does not pander to the reader. And that is hilarious that the students also had the suspicion some reviewers didn't make it all the way through :)

@BenjaminDMuir @damiankelleher @Unwise_Trousers I'll never not be grateful for every single person who read Grimmish. Have also read every word of Praiseworthy, and didn't end up knowing what I thought. But I've read one or two reviews of Praiseworthy where I suspect the reviewer skipped sections. Odd.

@vic_reader It's wonderful!

Remembering the time I met you, and the then-new scar; so moving that you've transmuted it into this beautiful thing.

They don't make shearers like they used to.

To think I was at risk of going thorugh the day without reading the words 'The lady's hand tenderly patted the cadboard snout of her lover'!

@MicWink It is! #AristidePujol @LucySussex @richard_overell

[Michael Winkler @MicWink]

@StuartKells Lovely. I've heard of Aristide Pujole - sounds like a romp.

@humsentence Big congrats!

Takashi Miike's film based on William Carlos Williams' poem “The Red Wheelbarrow” takes a lot of liberties with the original.

Sometimes Richard Brautigan feels like he's straining. But when he gets in the pocket, whoo.

Not so friendly reminder to media to stop saying ‘Indigenous leaders’ about anyone, ever, in any context. https://t.co/etUTzvo12J

@humsentence I remember Katelin as being a little taller, and with smaller ears.
