Iām am so honored and so proud of you, @parkersreads !!! I know how much work went into this, and I continue to be so moved and so grateful for the attention youāve paid to my poetry. For those of you unfamiliar with his scholarship, Paravee Argasnoum is a fourth-year English Language and Literature Major at Thammasat University in Bangkok, Thailand. He has dedicated countless hours over multiple years dissecting and deeply examining my novel-in-poems, Vanillaāan endeavor he has posted about many times over the course of his research. He is without exception the most outspoken fan of Vanilla and a tireless student/warrior for queer representation in literature. At long last, he has published his insights, and I couldnāt be more moved by what he found in those poems. ššš You can read Paraveeās paper, āExamining the Portrayals of Queer Identities through the Poetic Forms in Billy Merrellās Vanillaā at http://onearts.net/proceedings.html. Thank you, truly, @parkersreads āItās safe to say you know this book better than anyone, probably even me! 𤣠I very much look forward to following your career as you continue your advocacy. You have a fan in me! #queeracademic #asexuality #queeridentity #homosexuality #nonbinary #versenovel #billymerrell #researchpaper #superfan #imnotcryingyourecrying #youremyhero #thaiwriter #forevergrateful https://www.instagram.com/p/CTPsQLQLTdn/?utm_medium=tumblr
