Day 23: Glimmer + K is for...//Kanchanaburi! And I am so grateful to the lovely people who came to support our Bridges and Borderlands event at Sittisang Café the other week. From the President of the Thai Poets' society, literature enthusiasts, an esteemed book award judge, Tourism Authority of Thailand delegate, organisers who made the two hour trip from Bangkok, and my fellow writer who travelled over three hours from his home near the Thailand/Myanmar border to share the stage with me. For a small town, your hearts were incredibly big 💛

Day 22: Off Centre//I'm usually a very sporadic write-when-inspiration-strikes kind of person. It works for my poetry. But this novel is a completely different beast. And because I have certain deadlines for extracts as part of this writers' residency (being the reason kindly sponsored me to come here in the first place) I have begun setting daily word counts to ensure I'll meet my deliverables. So far, so good; I'm on track.

This gives me flexibility to still get out and enjoy immersing myself in life and culture here...for research purposes of course 😉 But it also means I'm accountable to myself to *work* work as well. As I'm easing myself into this new writing practice (something I have resisted for four years) I've set my daily target low so that it's realistically achievable each day, and will be something I can hopefully stick with (until I reach the project goal, at the very least).

Do you have a regular creative practice? How and when do you motivate yourself to write?

Day 21: Centre//taking centre stage on my socials today is Autumn Royal's divine poetry collection 'The Drama Student' .season published by , which I had the pleasure of reviewing recently for Mascara Literary Review .

"Ever the entertainer, Royal raises chuckles with the wry tone and breezy appeal of the bombastic, sardonic, and melodramatic (‘(Regarding) the pain of others’ pp42-43). However, beyond the craft and showmanship, we see softer glimmers – ‘the stains of violence our intimacy provokes’ (‘Leaf-shadow’ p44). It is this breadth and versatility of character and role that is compelling."

Day 19: Industrial//Kanchanaburi was one of the provinces at the forefront of industrial revolution in Thailand. Prior to this paper mill being established in 1933, paper had to be imported from abroad. This was one of the country's first fully integrated paper mills and, at the time, among the largest in Asia.

I'm very much looking forward to facilitating discussions between memoirist and poet as part of festival next month. Both books are incredibly powerful and share deep resonances. Details below:

INHERITANCE
26 JULY, 1:00–2:00PM
Raven Mother, a memoir by Jane Messer, traces the tragic and hopeful steps of her Jewish German grandmother, Bella, reflecting on the complex histories of the Holocaust and Nakba. Anne Casey’s Seang (Hungering) reclaims the lost stories of the daughters of refugees from Ireland’s Great Famine. They are joined by Paris Rosemont to talk memory, loss and inheritance.

Day 13: Power//I was raised on the notion that knowledge is the most valuable currency 📖

Here I am at Ratchamangkhalaphisek National Library, Kanchanaburi. On a nifty set of wheels I've been zipping around town on to create my own hop on, hop off experience 🏍
