Text on a grey background reads: A FRIEND SAYS EVERY BOOK BEGINS WITH AN UNANSWERABLE QUESTION - Then what is mine? How to grieve.

New today on #substack:

My latest post explores some of my thoughts on the limits of language, and the importance of exploring other creative practices when we are in grief.

Delighted that my poem Agility Walk has found a home in the latest zine from @coinoppress.bsky.social - Another Revolution.

I'm relatively new to writing about my lived experience of disability, so having this piece out in the world is wonderful.
