The Hollow Circuit: The Work That Holds Everything Together

By Lloyd Lewis The Hollow Circuit started as a novel. At least that was the label used when we first decided to publish it. But it was already something larger. A through-line. A structure. A gravitational pull we’d been circling for years without naming it. Everything we make now sits inside that architecture. The fiction. The essays. The photography. The animations. 3D artwork. The glitch zines. The music. The worldbuilding. The alter egos. The offline drops in cities that barely know we’ve

I posted my words, bound for editors who lived like mythical gatekeepers somewhere beyond the postmark. Then I waited — weeks, months — for the soft thud of a reply on the doormat. That sound was our algorithm: hope, silence, or the faint possibility of being seen. My first poem was about Christmas.
