“…language, in refusing transparency, only ever shows itself as the possibility, and not the guarantee, of communication and of truth.” Read some of my thoughts on a couple of my obsessions: Václav Havel and Wim Wender’s Until the End of the World.

This summer, I guest edited an issue of Glyphöria with Metatron Press and In the Mood Magazine - stay tuned for more promos for the incredible writing that was shared in our METAMOOD readings - all words available now in the link below! 👀🧡🙏
Issue VII - Wavering Futures - Kawai Shen

❋ What is a community? What is a community for? What makes a community different from a family, or a circle of friends, or a scene? ❋ How do we face the future together? ❋ Are you looking to be seen? What does it mean to be seen? ❋

METAMOOD was a two-part reading series and book launch for Wavering Futures, organized by Metatron Press, In the Mood Magazine, and Kawai Shen, held in Toronto and Montréal at Parquette on May 17 and June 7, 2026, respectively. These events featured activities, a collective discussion (in Toronto), and works on the theme of “the future” by Alex Manley, Eli Tareq El Bechelany-Lynch, Gabrielle Marceau, Kate Brooks, Katia Lo Innes, Kawai Shen, Lee Suksi, Marcela Huerta, Nirris Nagendrarajah, Ryan Akler-Bishop, Sennah Yee, and Trynne Delaney. This is an imperfect archive of what transpired.
