Iris Anne Lewis: How I Wrote ‘Inundation’

Posted on August 13, 2025August 19, 2025

Tim Relf: How I Wrote ‘Teeth weren’t fish’

Posted on July 30, 2025June 17, 2025

“Handling time shifts can be difficult as they can be disorientating for readers and can present tonal challenges, but I’m interested in how people – and their priorities – change over the course of a lifetime.”

Posted on February 19, 2025January 21, 2025

“My hope for this poem is that it reminds dykes of our unity when so much of the world tries to undermine us. Campfires give us a way of celebrating the rare joy of being in a majority.”

Posted on February 5, 2025February 18, 2025

“Perhaps the best one can hope to do when writing in the voice of an animal is urgently point to one’s own ignorance.”
