‘Poetry, the creative pursuit where I enjoyed the greatest freedom - I could focus on concept or craft, I could express or experiment, I could finish things or even leave them ambivalently finished/unfinished, and they would always keep a certain glow of mystery, even to me.’....

#TopTweetTuesday host Jesse Miksic @miksimum may need a boost to take him into the early hours after responding to so many poems 🔥

Jesse loves Adidas sneakers (Samba/Samoa/etc, the stripey indoor-soccer kind). He is a little self-conscious about this, knowing it's left over from his punk/skater days - maybe he's supposed to be wearing trainers or loafers? He just can't quit the flat-soled street shoe thing.

Jesse's recent visual art has been a series of drawings, alternating with a series of (unrelated) photographs, which can be seen on his Twitter feed or his Instagram feed (@miksimum for both).

Ska music has a special place in Jesse’s heart

He's an avid fan of the RX Bandits (@RXBandits) and Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra (@tokyoskaj). He likes to listen to the Aquabats (@TheAquabats) with his daughter.
