Blackmail Press #32 is live. You can read my poems here.
One Handed
Woman is a character I made that reflects some of the questions I have about being
a woman with feminism as my birth right. How did it shape me? Advantages,
disadvantages, even disabilities? The poem is part of an ongoing dialogue I
have with my contemporaries.
Emissary to
a Neighbouring Kingdom, The Parson Falls in Love and
Goes Mad and One Left for a Hero, came from a paper I read sometime last year
on the disconnection men feel from traditional archetypes. These poems are my
reflections on this sociological phenomenon, the characters are the king, the
cleric and the hero respectively. I am
continuing to write in this series, several more are included in my manuscript,
A Machine of Herbs and Flowers
The Water
Gleaners is a retelling of the story of Oberon, Titania and the fairy Mustard
Seed from A Midsummer Nights Dream. It’s a story built around my concerns for the politicizing and future
distribution of potable water.
Enjoy
