Earnest Pastimes: Poems about serious joy of doing little

By Other Kitsune

Earnest Pastimes is a sharp little book for those who know boredom is an art form.

A few poems. Three essays. Both light and lingering, it's for those who take their daydreams seriously.

Indulgence in slow thoughts, strange pleasures, and the serious joy of doing little. Somewhere between a sigh and a smirk, it explores what it means to play without purpose, to feel deeply without needing to perform. Emotion and imagination with a sly, luxurious boredom.

Read it like you're wasting time on purpose.
