As a self-identifying clumsy person, I love these thoughts around broken things. I have a lot of that in my life, and I try to soften the blow of a smunched or shattered something by "owning my dents". There is beauty in the fixing, for sure. I also really really loved The Elegance of the Hedgehog and I'll have to pull it out for a re-read. Thank you, as always, for your lovely words and the sharing of your gorgeous poetry. :)

That image for illustrative purposes is surely one of the most lovely images of a broken thing. I’m sure that’s part of the metaphorical point. I also admit that, as a fellow poet AND spec fic lover, I enjoy finding out that poet-you has a deeply loved, formative fantasy trilogy too.
