And you might tell yourself: this is not the month of May! And you might tell yourself: this is not a normal poetry drop!
And you’d be right. This is the herald for a new way of doing things. Read on to find out more.

April is a month of birthdays and I have here a collection of poems that occurred to me as little isolated thoughts and vignettes from the month, some obvious some not. They’re all still works in progress, per usual. But I’m learning how to kill my darlings and share!
The April poetry drop is now available. Check out last month’s drop and stay up to date with The Casual Ramble’s monthly poetry drops by subscribing to the Patreon!
Forgive me if I sound like I’m repeating myself along all of these poems, but I think they represent a progression of letting go of emotions that have been hanging around me since autumn.
This is not the first time I have performed spoken word before. But this is the first time I performed while being recorded. And I am absolutely terrified to share this video.
But I’m going to share it anyways.
I wrote a lot of poetry in January. In Melbourne, in Brisbane. Amid town squares and fire circles. And deep within LED jams that took place not quite in the bush, but close enough. All of the poems I have decided to share this month are in various stages of rawness, but raw nevertheless.
It took a moment, but I’m excited to say the Casual Camera is here. I had to reiterate how I wanted to the video to look multiple times over, but finally reached a level of complete that I am elated to share.
JaJas is back and I have taken the opportunity to push myself out of the comfort zone and write some poems. Last Night at JaJas is the fruit of that labor.
Welcome to a new era of the Casual Camera! Enjoy my first short film, “A Prayer Roll” as I share three of my favorite poems from the past six months.
I just released a new Casual Camera on the Patreon. Not only am I pleased with the result, I feel like I found a way to synthesize all of my disparate interests into one. Take a look at the preview!
