Enervation

From the round table of Arthur Pensteam.

Heyo, heyo.

This week, I'm reinvigorated. There is nothing like a breath of city air to seduce my interest back to the mystery of every day humanity.

Thank you all for reading the first Random Brew Generator. I am happy the series is enjoyable; I have had so much fun working on it.

There will be a steady stream of these articles in the weeks to come. While I can guarantee that each of them will be unhinged in their own way, I cannot guarantee that I will not stray into edgy or cringe material. Such are the dangers of plumbing into the depths of inebriation and the mind.

You also may have noticed the soft launch of my Instagram, as well (@arthurpensteam). I need some time to wrap my head around posting on social media, so, for now, the account will only be for launches. But in a couple months, expect that beautiful duty of the artist in the internet age to be fulfilled - constant content.

As has been my constant refrain for the last several weeks, the poetry book 99¢FVG is inching closer and closer to completion. While I'm hoping to make an announcement before this weekend, I'm trying (and mostly failing) to incorporate more patience into my life, so I will say that the book will be out soon and leave it at that. The book is looking pretty, meaningful, and legible, and I can't really ask for more.

However, I want to thank you all for providing me with your support, your encouragement, and the constant reassurance that I demand. I hope your week has at least one moment where you are able to marvel at birdseed, or a blade of grass, or a sidewalk crack, and you re-place yourself amongst the mystery of the mundane.
