    A Vos Fraise: Apropos, #1

    About this ebook

    A selection of laissez-faire postparnassian poetry crafted at the crack of dawn. Inspiration comes from online dictionaries' freshly harvested words-of-the-day. A poem might in turn tickle the fancy of the painterly muse; often it merely laughs at its own expense. January 2020 was BC (Before Covid), or not, as we know now. As the virus took off, The Island of Doctor Ironymisch Devilish surfaced - this oil painting will be the companion piece to the twelve chapbooks of the Apropos series.

    Michelle de Villiers

    I  scribble , dribble and doodle. I sculpt in clay for bronzing; paint anything under the sun; write children’s stories and illustrate them. I read a lot. When I’m not in the studio covered in paint; working on a new picture story; doodling cartoons, or reading; I reluctantly go to the gym. (In the basement, now!) Or travel to far-off places. (BC)  I once lived in a rainforest. Once upon a time I worked as an engineer on secret projects. And also underground in a gold mine. I have a lot of Neanderthal DNA. Relatively speaking. I can wiggle my ears. I have two cats.
