‘Broccoli’ featured in Issue 4 of the journal speakerspeaker edited by gentian rhosa. Responding to the theme of failure, my text recounted two separate experiences where I struggled on artist residencies. The first, during a three month stay in Rotterdam, where I failed in my ambition to publish poetry via the sex shop in Charlois. The following year, living in Guadalajara in Mexico, I approached a restaurant with the idea of publishing poems inside their menus.
