Exhibit A:
“Cockroaches: Ars Poetica” by Chad Davidson

Funnily enough, I first heard of Gudding when I read this essay by Davidson. Even funnier is how I shared that essay a year or so ago in another class with the very same teacher.
And now I wonder how cockroach poetry can relate to termite art.
