I love his work. Have loved his work from the very first time I read it, in blockchain poets community. I can't believe it took me five years to encounter you here. I was active with the bananafish group for a long time. Did you ever post with them? I learned a lot from him.
There were a lot more people in the Steem days, so it's no surprise. There are a lot of folks I also never encountered until after the Hive fork. I did post in bananafish a few times. But I was also running my own haiku contests at the time and doing a weekly renga event with The Isle of Write (a splinter group from the old Writer's Block) so I didn't do bananafish on a regular basis. Had some nice talks with that guy, though.
