I’m not really a poetry guy. Very literate, but mostly it just seemed like a…I don’t know, unnecessary convolution. I get it, words but pretty, great. But it wasn’t my thing.

You’re the only poet I’ve encountered where I got the thing you’re supposed to get when you read poetry. Your work has moved me in such a way that it feels like the world moving. We have literally nothing in common, but reading what you write is a thunderclap of recognition. You’ve broken my heart six-eight times. I hate your guts. Never stop writing, I’ll never stop reading.

I don't read a lot of poetry myself - I respect people who do, I'm just very type A - and it definitely shows in how dirty and craftless I tend to write. It makes me excited to know people feel so strongly about my work so thank you for letting me know, haha. I'm trying to hammer how I feel into other people.

Happy Visibility, Dear Grendel, your work felt like a body to me when nothing else did.

This is very sweet - happy wishes for you too :,)

your literally my favorite artist and it sucks to hear that you have to work so much just to survive. i hope one day you have more free time and can make money off just your art (if that's what you would want anyhow). second i got some extra money on my hands im spending all of it on buying prints and shit from ur store. in solidarity w/ you as a working class dyke hope if gets better sorry you've got privileged ppl in your tags romanticizing poverty.

It'll ease up a bit soon because I put in my two weeks at one of my jobs, but it's just tiring tiring atm. I'm excited for my paychecks though, I'm hoping to get enough to fix my car up since it's been having a lot of problems. I'm mostly upset because I keep falling behind on commissioned artwork and comic pitches/projects, which is what I actually want to pursue full time and not like... waitressing and cleaning and etc etc etc.

I'm lucky in life, blessed really, and I don't consider myself impoverished just super tight and paycheck to paycheck, but I want to write and draw and sleep and look at the sky and cook food omg. Also thank you :,). Right now I only have some digital comics out on gumroad but once I get some more time I want to make a real shop of tangible things.
