A little insider knowledge about ‘About the Jez of It’

Some years ago, a very Sapphic voice was posting poetry on love, on femininity but inside she was crying, he was crying. Slowly through verse a different voice began to speak in less metered lines, a more masculine voice and Jez came into being on the page and in me. ‘About the Jez of It’ is his world, my world, the world of a man in poetry and art.

The intent behind the blog has changed too. Once it was about a guy finding his masculinity, now I’m just a guy sharing my love of art and writing because I can and if that makes someone else’s world a little bit more beautiful – I call that a good day.
