about


Call me Frank.

Perhaps in an effort to open the shutters and welcome in a sweet draft of pleasant air, to cheer up the damp, drizzly November in my soul, to throw some wildflower seeds among the leaf litter, I am building a wee house on this stony shingle. Here you will find a hodgepodge of ephemera, little scraps of the ordinary that catch my attention. More like the nest of a curious magpie than an exhaustive manifesto.

To translate into less purple (and borrowed) prose: I’m trying to make a little website in which I can organize some of my interests and engage in something that stirs a bit of creativity. Some challenges in my life have made it difficult at times to feel like myself, and I want to engage in something that rekindles that connection.
