POETRY SMASH!!!!

Inspiration has struck. I'm not entirely certain where this idea is headed but I'm kind of loving it.


I've smashed up my favourite poets with some old timey bare knuckle boxers and wrestlers, and added wings (because that's what I do).


I love the idea of taking something generally thought of as soft (poetry) and mixing it with something strong and stout (boxing). 


And then I got to thinking - poetry often throws a punch. It can hit you in the gut. It can get you right in the god damn feels.


Boxers and poets and love and fairy wings. It's a nonsense combination, but in my head it all fits together.


Still in the thinking stages with these guys, but I do adore them. Some journaling perhaps? Maybe a collection  of ATCs?


The one thing I am absolutely certain of? Bukowski makes the cutest fairy of them all.
