I am thrilled to announce that the TransBareAll book I have co-edited is now ready for the world! An anthology of new writing and art by trans artists, the book is a testament to the heart, grit, compassion and love in our communities. It features essays and poetry, linoprints and paintings, short fiction and sculpture and more. Touching on a myriad of topics, the works within explode the stereotypes and prejudices of the mainstream conversation on trans lives, and - crucially - claim a space in which trans and non binary artists and writers at all stages of practice are speaking and creating on our own terms.
The book has just come back from the printers, and we are now able to take pre-orders - and as well as that you can snag a print of one of the artworks featured in the book! Click here to get in there.
(we are dispatching orders slowly due to being a one-person mailing team because of covid - please be patient!)

Wake
I recently had the pleasure of offering a new piece of writing to two artists whose work I have adored for years: the musician and sound engineer Caro C and visual artist Andrea Pazos. Together we've created a binaural and visual meditation on this place of fear and possibility in which so many of us stand. I hope it might act as a small reflection, an echo, a secular prayer, and, perhaps, a balm. Get your headphones on to experience the whole 360˚ sonic bath. |
about
I'm a British-Canadian writer and artist. I've performed at many festivals and live events across the UK and beyond, solo and in collaboration with other writers, musicians and visual/digital artists. I have most recently co-written a literary-geographic hybrid piece for an anthology of creative-critical work - Sandscapes: writing the British seaside, out now with Palgrave Macmillan. My stories have featured on BBC Radio 4, in Short Fiction Journal, and on the literary mapping app LitNav, among other places, with poetry appearing in numerous anthologies. My ongoing exploration of disability aesthetics was featured at Mathrubhumi International Festival of Letters 2019. My short story collection, Jebel Marra (Comma Press, 2015), was nominated for a number of national and international awards, and I am now working on my second collection, an audio and digital short story map of Hayling Island. See the Hayling Stories page for more on that.
