![[bloomer-cover.jpg]] introducing BLOOMER — something in between an album and a poetry collection. what do you call 8 poems with images and sound attached? an emotional acid trip. fun and frightening for me to make, just fun for you to consume. photos by [minnow park](https://www.minnowpark.com/). audio, cover art, & illustration by me. inspo: - adam haslett: "...if no serious internal trouble has been overcome in the writing of a book, then there’s not a lot of blood on the floor, and it’s not as interesting to me." - james baldwin: “All art is a kind of confession, more or less oblique. All artists, if they are to survive, are forced, at last, to tell the whole story; to vomit the anguish up, all of it, the literal and the fanciful." an eternal thanks to my paid newsletter subscribers for enabling my art, and gratitude to anyone who follows it (hi, you!). if anything i make strikes you, please react or reply. i love replies. —vicky summer 2023
