Your writing is exactly the kind of thing I think the world and the internet especially needs. Never less than erudite, I feel like I’ve actually spent time with some quality academia after coming away from one of your essays. Thank you so much. I love what you do.

something about the entire trope has always irked me so it's interesting to think about the psychological side of the cannibalism and its poetic analogies. tying it to dominance and possession was an incredible way of highlighting the all the metaphor's nuances beyond what the popular consensus of its meaning tends to idolize. will be thinking about this for a while!
