book review yvonne

the book i have chosen is the look-book from Alma for Un/divided, a concept for a clothing store that aims to break down gender-norms.

i love the layout of the look book from the general art direction and typography in this one, especially the creamy, off-white paper stock.

i love how the font used is similar to geneva which is very simplistic and no serifs or fancy turns. the font is very straight forward and easy to read and leave space for the pictures

the use of color blocks also help to highlight the words and messages expressed

Visions of Alma

First off, I just want to say that I believe the Instagram poet Alma Perpetua is Misha, and that all the poems attributed to her are written by him. I also believe that the purpose of writing in the persona of Alma is a way for Misha to compose and to make public anonymously some of his love poems he has written for and about Jensen. I want to add that the handwriting analyses and most other convincing proofs posted on Tumblr are crucial to this argument and are not duplicated here.

Post compiled with the help of @glamrockcas​

@theyarebothgunshot​, this is the post that I’ve been talking to you about.

There is not just one “proof” that convinced me of Alma’s identity (although a few are so compelling that I actually do not need the totality of the evidence people have gathered to believe so). I am also fully aware that these are not “proofs” as such—they are “circumstantial evidence.” When taken as a whole, however, they acquire gravitas.

I would never, and will never, contact Misha or Jensen on the subject of Alma. I realize the delicacy of discussing Alma in a public forum.

The “Alma” account never specifies personal pronouns, so for the purposes of this post I will use she/her.

[NOTE: Sometimes Alma titles her poems by including the title in the caption for a specific poem. I will use titles when they have been given by Alma.]

1). The first item in itself compels me to believe that not only is MC the poet Alma, but that the subject of the Alma poems is Jensen. Here is the Alma poem in question:

https://www.instagram.com/p/B192_-bAI9k/

My Tumblr collaborator found this post. It’s from a GISH task from 2012, undoubtedly conceived of by Misha. First, here’s a close-up of the Times Square “Misha-centric” GISH-created image. (Maybe look for Jensen too…..)

And here’s the full task as posted for GISH-- the image is actually interactive. Take a look, and be sure to wait a moment for the second screen to appear:

https://farthngdr.tumblr.com/post/649223013634555904/jenmisheel-ok-misha

(The original source blog is inaccessible, so this link is to a reblog.)

I confess, no one can convince me that the Alma poem and the GISH post are coincidence.

2). Another proof concerns an esoteric term known primarily to those familiar with the lingo of typography. One of the Alma poems mentions the term “kerning and leading,” which I did not know and had to look up. It refers to the spaces between characters in old-school type:

https://www.instagram.com/p/BsOb7YxFVvo/

I was intrigued by this obscure term and did some sleuthing. On the Wikipedia page for GISH, click GISHWES in the dropdown bar; if you scroll down the page to sample tasks that have been assigned to GISHers over the years, you will see this:

“2012, No. 124: ‘Shoot an erotically charged scene. [...] The film must involve a pizza man and the actors can ONLY talk about grammar and fonts. Please use at least three of the following terms, 'kerning,' 'serif,' 'gerund,' 'participle,' and 'imperfective.’”[ Credited to Misha Collins.]

I do not believe that the use of the word “kerning” in both an Alma poem and a Misha Collins GISH task is coincidence. Because it’s not.

3).  An Alma poem titled “Re-purposed” refers to the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery so that the result is a bowl that is stronger structurally than the original unbroken piece:

https://www.instagram.com/p/BtTYp2_HXiD/

My Tumblr collaborator found this post by someone else on Tumblr, where Misha discusses the Japanese art of Kintsugi:

https://subbydean.tumblr.com/post/638310349163069440/alma-tinhatting-time-do-i-think-alma-is-misha

This knowledge is esoteric, and it is therefore not coincidence that both Alma and Misha are invoking it in their work.

4). In my close reading of Alma, I see that she uses the phrase “at my desk,” as she likes to write there in the mornings:

https://www.instagram.com/p/B-NM48eHLTu/

In his real-time-composed poem titled “Composted,” Misha also uses the phrase “at my desk,” because that is where he prefers to write in the mornings. Note as well the similarity of the handwriting for this phrase in both poems:

https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=651417731985615

[Yes, I know about Misha’s/Alma’s  parrot, which sat on his/her shoulder as he/she wrote at his/her desk. Again: not a coincidence.]

5). My collaborator sent me an email with their observations concerning the idiosyncrasy of referring to the mornings as “the a.m.’s”: this ultimately circles back to Alma’s most recent poem about walking along the shore with her lover. From my collaborator’s email:

“I know this is just one detail, but I keep noticing how many times Misha uses ‘a.m.’ instead of the word ‘morning.’ So he probably wrote that poem in the video that he claimed was by a ‘favorite poet’ (and sounds like a love poem to Jensen):

https://myhumanweakness.tumblr.com/post/179608114443/beefcakemish-misha-poem-with-you-the-sugar-is

“Because it sounds just like this:

https://zoelilyreads.tumblr.com/post/177573955400/adjusts-tin-hat-firmly-no-matter-how-hard-i

“AND I somehow missed before that he has an entire poem called ‘A.M.’

https://angelica128.tumblr.com/post/189354229194/i-dont-know-why-it-touches-me-so-much-but-it

“Also: an even smaller detail, but he signs his poems (or at least that one) with just his first name in all caps at the bottom right, ‘-MISHA.’

“It reminds me of how ‘X ALMA’ is also always a single name in all caps at the bottom right.”

*****************************************************************************

6). From Misha's poems, I recognize the following reoccurring words and imagery:

"Sweet" or “sweetness”: “You make sugar sweeter.” And here with Alma:

https://www.instagram.com/p/B0ZYOt9Hbp-/

Any imagery involving light-- "Morning" light is Alma’s analog for her lover. The moon, stars, and night sky images occur with frequency in her work. Misha is clearly moved by natural light as well. The instances of the importance of light, mostly sun, moon, and stars, occur so frequently with both poets that I won’t bother to supply more examples unless requested.

A line from the poem Misha recites in the video: “The sand is softer.”

From Alma’s most recent poem titled “RESUMED”:

https://www.instagram.com/p/CNEG5Uznt9R/

The soft sand yields beneath the feet of Alma and her lover.

******************************************************************************

One last thought: Why “Alma”?

Recently I watched Brokeback Mountain, which I haven’t seen since its initial release. We all know that both Jensen and Misha have seen the movie. Jensen semi-joked about how it “ruined cowboy movies for him,” which to my mind is him performing masculinity, which he has been known to do on more than one occasion. Misha obviously thinks well of the movie, as he live tweeted the SPN cowboy episode and used the hashtag #Brokebacknatural. He would not have invoked the memory of this film unless he enjoyed the comparison.

Ennis Del Mar would be the analog to Jensen in his discomfort with owning his gay identity and his continuing to assert performative masculinity as a way of coping with his love and desire for Jack Twist. Others have posted about directorial choices in an episode of SPN where a scene with Dean paralleled a scene featuring Ennis Del Mar.

https://grumpycas.tumblr.com/post/634151636525367296/brokeback-mountain-2005-supernatural-season

One scene in the film occurs after the two cowboys’ magical summer on Brokeback Mountain as employees of a rancher whose herd they must oversee. After that experience has ended, Jack asks Ennis with hope in his heart if he would be interested in signing up for the same job for the upcoming summer. Ennis hesitates, then haltingly explains that he is engaged, and that his wedding is scheduled to take place that summer.

Ennis’ fiance’s name is Alma.

******************************************************************************

Final note: Alma’s poems are things of great beauty and delicacy, and she bares her soul in the most unprotected and vulnerable manner. Of course we on Tumblr treat her and her work with respect and discretion.
