T.A.E.’s Book Review – The Story of Kullervo by J.R.R. Tolkien
The Story of Kullervo is a haunting early experiment in the tragic mode that would later become one of the foundations of his legendarium. Published long after its composition, the tale is less a polished finished work than a window into the furnace of Tolkien’s imagination: a place where Finnish myth, medieval tragedy, and the … Continue reading T.A.E.’s Book Review – The Story of Kullervo by J.R.R. Tolkien
“CrownClout: #IdesOfMarch — the story of friends, fame, and a messy follow-through” – Poetcore Shakespeare: The Bard for Gen Z
(T.A.E.’s LitBites) – A modern retelling of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare Rome is basically a trending feed. Julius Caesar just came back from a huge win — like a world tour flex — and the city is vibing. People chant his name, kids shout, senators split between cheering and side-eyeing. Caesar’s power glow is real; … Continue reading “CrownClout: #IdesOfMarch — the story of friends, fame, and a messy follow-through” – Poetcore Shakespeare: The Bard for Gen Z
Revisionist Poetry – “Into The Rose” – Into The Heart, v.2
The photographer leans into the rose,into its folded crimson chamber,a small world of hush and pressurewhere petals loosen like a held breath.

Lens in hand, he frames the inward curve,the hidden … Continue reading Revisionist Poetry – “Into The Rose” – Into The Heart, v.2
T.A.E.’s Book Review – Leaf by Niggle by J.R.R. Tolkien
Tolkien’s Leaf by Niggle is a slender tale with the weight of a meditation. At once allegory, morality tale, and quiet self-portrait, it turns on a deceptively simple premise: an artist named Niggle spends his life labouring over a painting of a tree, beginning with a single leaf and gradually imagining an entire world beyond … Continue reading T.A.E.’s Book Review – Leaf by Niggle by J.R.R. Tolkien
“Swipe Right for a Crown” – Poetcore Shakespeare: The Bard for Gen Z
(T.A.E.’s LitBites) – A modern retelling of Henry V by William Shakespeare Alright — fast-forward: Hal, the guy who used to party too hard and ghost responsibility, is now King Henry. He cleaned up his act (kind of), put on the crown, and now everyone expects him to be a full-on leader. But Henry’s got receipts: … Continue reading “Swipe Right for a Crown” – Poetcore Shakespeare: The Bard for Gen Z
T.A.E.’s Book Review – The Monsters and the Critics and Other Essays by J.R.R. Tolkien
J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Monsters and the Critics and Other Essays is one of those rare critical collections that feels less like a set of lectures than a map of an imagination in action. These essays do not simply explain the author’s literary principles; they enact them. Across questions of language, myth, translation, medieval romance, and … Continue reading T.A.E.’s Book Review – The Monsters and the Critics and Other Essays by J.R.R. Tolkien
