Things I Like
Books:
- Arcadia, Tom Stoppard - I haven’t read enough plays to make a plays section.
- The Sing-Song Girls of Shanghai, Han Bangqing
- The Lost Conspiracy, Frances Hardinge
- Letters to a Young Poet, Rainer Maria Rilke
- Ex-Wife, Ursula Parrott
- 长歌行, Xia Da - if you ever try to read any Chinese-language graphic novel, it should be this one. But it is unfinished :’(
- Dune, Frank Herbert
- My Cousin Rachel, Daphne du Maurier - I liked this one better than Rebecca :)
- All the King’s Men, Robert Penn Warren - I read this as part of one of Professor Lowenstein’s CLAFI seminars. This is my personal vote for the Great American Novel, if such a thing exists.
Art:
- Deer in Forest, Franz Marc
- Spring Rains, Victor Higgins
- Joan of Arc series, Louis Maurice Boutet de Monvel
- Turning Road, Andre Derain
- Literally any Saint George and the Dragon, ever
Misc:
- Aviation history
- Natural history museums with animatronics
- Turkish Angora cats :)

Art
See my Artstation for more pieces and hopefully for future updates. Many of these are high school pieces because my college time management has not left art time </3

Some sort of blog where each poem is a post to come.
