This is such a wonderful reflection Rev. Really appreciate it. I especially like this line "Scholarship and everyday absurdity occupy the same space." I am going to pinch that! Thank you. This gives me an idea for new material 😀
Katerina, the “notes experiment” feels like a lab notebook for the parts of life that refuse to behave like research variables. Cold coffee, school-run negotiations, Google Scholar rabbit holes, menopause, and the headless-chook chaos all become observations you can laugh at without sanding off their strain. The humor creates enough room to keep looking at the mess with curiosity, which feels especially fitting for someone living inside a thesis while managing everything else. Grateful for the way you let scholarship and everyday absurdity occupy the same page.
Great poems Kat, and from my perspective, no poems are questionable!
ps. Still hoping to catch up soon, let me know if you're on campus with some spare time xx
Ha ha…. Thanks I can see why you enjoy these! …I've just sent you a text. Looking forward to catching up!
