Flux
Flux | Orion Carloto
10 posts | 11 read | 1 to read
Flux is a somber narrative, an ode to change, a collection of poetry and prose written from the many states of grief over a broken heart. With original illustrations by artist Katie Roberts, Orion Carloto creates a dream world for the brokenhearted and paints a whimsical picture around the themes of love, loss, solitude, depression, sex, nostalgia, and unrequited romance. Flux takes readers through a raw and sorrowful journey of each and every bitter moment of heartbreak. Forewarning, Flux is best read with a warm cup of coffee in hand.

Did an op shop over on Sat after 🩰 Doc said I‘m not to be 💃 but I can‘t let the team down a wk before the eisteddfod + the dance is Balanchine‘s Seranade so not taxing eg. a lot of upper body. The 📕 is beautiful to look at. Not sure c. the poetry yet though. I‘ve got a lot of audio 📚 on the go so thought the embroidery might help me knock them over as I struggle with just listening on the 🚊 There was no wax in the 🕯️ when I opened it. 🟰 $14

Loved it. As most poetry, it was about love and breakups.

Anyone else hate these smudges on book covers! It got delivered this way. Also creeps me out during the times of Covid.

I guess you could call this anti-love poetry. Maybe it‘s my English education, but I tend to like old poetry over the modern stuff. Still, this was pretty good. About love lost and the end of a relationship.

Flux is a mix of traditional poetry & instagram poetry with some diary-like entries thrown in. Carloto writes of a broken heart and the discourse that follows when someone leaves you.

I didn‘t care much for the one sentence poems that seem so popular these days, but I did appreciate a few of the more traditional pieces. I can see this striking a chord with the younger crowd; it very much reads like the experience of a first love lost.
