SYMPTOM

I’m Pikthall, a theoretician, writer, and editor with a background in psychology. I study the forces and structures that shape the natural world. My work examines where thought, culture and nature converge and conflict. 

Imperative Papers  is the place where some of this work takes shape. Papers are informed by ongoing inquiry across several intellectual domains and the site publishes periodic speculative essays that explore pressing issues with honesty, rigor, and conceptual experimentation. 
Poetry in Imperative Papers spans nearly two decades. It ranges from autobiographical free verse narrative to conceptual-lyrical work focused on form, rhythm, relation, insight, and rhyme.

Imperative Papers is archive, map of ongoing discovery, and imprint of the Editor.
