- Interviewer- During your historic forty year tenure as Governor General of Canada there is only one personal scandal that comes to mind, the leaked nudes. I know it has been years since they were released but I was just curious how you feel they’ve impacted your legacy?

The Icicle on The Empire State Building
As Malcom arose to get ready for school, he peered out his window and saw a news crew that was looking around, looking up and down, and he wondered out loud, “What was it they’d found”? Not four seconds later he was to the elevator with a coat in hand, and not the slightest of plans. As he started descending his mind got to pretending, he was floating on down from the clouds. When he finally reached the lobby and realized there was nobody, he scurried outside and to his surprise, while he was catching his breath, he turned and looked to the left, and there he saw the icicle, bigger than his tricycle. It stretched on down from the roof to the ground and all the people around weren’t making a sound. He soon bumped into Norman, who was the building’s doorman, and he said, nice and loud, “Don’t get lost in this crowd!”. Malcom gave him a nod but still found it rather odd that he was allowed to proceed, seeing as he was three.

The Extravagantly Exaggerated Tales of Francis
What you are about to read is based on firsthand accounts, from surviving nuns, of the Sacré Bleu Home for Children, an orphanage and convent amalgam located somewhere in Bretagne, France run by the infamous sisters of Sacré Bleu, who, since the 1990’s have had no official affiliation with the Catholic church. It is important to understand that though nothing disclosed is, presumably, deliberately fictitious, it is grounded completely in interpretation and as such is not bound to reality or to conventional notions of logic or academic thought. It is thereby confined only to the laws of extravagant exaggeration. Enjoy.

Lived Silence
I took a lover one time who thought I was mysterious. Their paraphrased quote being, “you are so hard to figure out”. I remember laughing at this, in retrospect that was perhaps not the appropriate reaction, nonetheless, I found it funny. It was not that I was trying to project an aura of “mystery”, but rather that I genuinely knew nothing about myself. To many that may sound bizarre, but I had long dissociated from knowing myself as a result of my sexuality. My illiterateness went beyond indifference into the indiscernible.

Grotto
There exists another world. But it is assuredly in this one (1). I had the pleasure of experiencing another world at the MONA (Museum of Old and New Art) last spring, in the form of Polumbo’s 2017 instillation work 'Grotto'. Randy Polumbo is an American based multidisciplinary artist who works and resides in both New York and California. His respectable career spans three decades and uses means such as photography, found objects, and site specific instillation as tools for altering established systems, such as, the libidinal, ecological and biological. He works with abstraction, interior worlds, and recycled and reused elements (2), and is most well-known for his techno-organic, erotic solar glass and crystal gardens (3).

Tassie Love Letter
I had initially intended to write this upon my return home to Canada in August 2020, during my two-week quarantine. I was returning from a six-month exchange at the University of Tasmania, in Tasmania Australia, and wanted to pen something that expressed just how exceptional a place I believed Tasmania to be. Now, over a year later, despite the elapsed time, I still feel compelled to go out of my way to make that publicly known.
