I’ve just published a new piece of writing.
It’s a serious literary work that sits between essay and narrative, and it’s concerned with women’s anger and imagination in the aftermath of violence. This is the kind of writing I want to be doing, so your support means a lot.
The piece moves between memory and fantasy to examine what happens when justice and repair are absent, and imagination becomes one of the only remaining sites of agency.
