Sparks brand of poetry and prose can be hard to define. Genre-defiant? Certainly. Quirky, eccentric, imaginative. Rainbow dystopian. Guillotine fiction. “Dysfunctional but functioning”. Punklit. Hopepunk.
Or simply: weird.
There are common themes that tie their work together: found family, grief, queerness, mental health. Add a dash of lyrical, flowing prose and you’re most of the way there. Just don’t forget the tissue warning.
The Arche//TYPE Series
The ARCHE//TYPE series is a project focused on dissecting storytelling tropes, themes, narratives, and of course, archetypes. Each book focuses on a different aspect of storytelling, including: Love Story of a Hero and Villain, Time Travel for Dummies, and The Wrath of Achilles.
The first book, Love Story of a Hero and Villain, is an epistolary novel breaking the doomed narrative of heroes and villains as the antagonist and protagonist struggle to shatter the roles they’d been handed.
