Rabbits by Terry Miles

 Recommended by Cory Doctorow, loved discovering a new author and one also born in Sakatchewan. Add to that, the setting for the novel is right here in the neighborhood, main character born in Olympia with action in and around Seattle.

Gaming history melds into conspiracy theory with a sprinkling of quantum philosophy for good measure, RABBITS is flush with questing portals. "Look it up" is one of my librarian favorites and prompts side search jaunts into Wikipedia and Duckduckgo while reading. Not only did it fill in informational holes I didn't even know were there but extended my novel reading time. And this was one I was in no hurry to finish while not being able to put it down. 

On that note, let us review:

Poetry and Psychotherapy

https://stenenpress.com/thoughts-on-poetry/

"The very poetry and party of the universe are reflecting back in tiny versions across the tiny minds strewn on earth."

"The untranslated that must be addressed in the psyche needs relation to a human, in real time, to be actually translated."

"In other words, we are all the “reader” and the potential “writer.” We mutually create one another’s projected shit. “It requires two minds to think a person’s most disturbing thoughts,” Wilfred Bion said. We make it real. We mutually transmute it. We continue its life and add to it. We make one another eternal."
