this was a delightful read!! especially given that i've been looking at the use of rage, anger, and violence in the work of homer recently. you capture the almost perverted pervasiveness of wrath so perfectly, the way it pushes so hard, it's as if nothing moves. your words are filled with intensity, and your writing style (control, pacing, economy etc.) really allows that intensity to concentrate in the mind of the reader so that by the end of the piece you have people questioning if you're yourself okay 😭😭 i do hope you are of course, but regardless of that, what an incredibly powerful piece of writing. i'm so proud of you for creating this 🩷

This hit like a relic unearthed—heavy with meaning, glowing with specificity I can’t fully decode but instantly trust. There’s a severity and restraint here that unsettled something in me and reminded me of something similar I was grappling with in this (albeit far less mythic) piece: https://brendawiththeagenda.substack.com/p/every-time-a-door-slams.

First circumcised then slaughtered, what a joyful ride of the anger distilling inside to start by inflicting small pain then later devouring the whole thing. Cheers
