Casper and Fauntleroy 23
Curiosity killed the cat, but without it Fauntleroy just wouldn’t be Fauntleroy. What will he find behind the forbidden door?
Poetry: Will Alexander
As the partisan of energy as a form of imagination, Will Alexander relentlessly critiques linear conceptions of cause and effect, along with all mechanistic modalities of thought and practice.
