The poet they probably shouldn’t have sent. I watch anime and am sometimes accused of reading books. I'm writing a long gay giant robot story in verse—probably this millennium's best yuri mecha epic poem, through lack of competition.


'Now praise those names on tombs of steel engraved | And toll this rotting country’s countless bells.'


The best way to get updates from CWKB is through its main presence on itch.io. You can follow my account on there, but also the devlog is fairly active and I believe itch devlogs can give you RSS, though how exactly you get your hands on it I'm not sure.

The poem's currently being read aloud in bits weekly on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/thaliarchus), and VODs go up on that page after each reading.

Something on the medium-term to-do list is putting the poem on AO3 to help its long-term survival chances.


You can also find me on bluesky. I also have a foothold on tumblr, which I haven't used much.
