My creative practice explores the intersections between queer feminist theory, poetic form, experimental life writing, and experimental lives.

I work with language as both archive and medium, drawing from decades of personal journals, academic research, and overheard conversations to craft texts that challenge the conventional memoir and academic essay. My recent manuscript, Hand Over, emerged from a residency at the Banff Centre for the Arts and is composed of over a thousand alphabetized sentences—my own and others’—that reflect on identity, motherhood, gender, and loss.

I am particularly interested in the ways writing can hold contradiction, ambiguity, and emotional intensity. My work resists linear storytelling, instead embracing collage, juxtaposition, and fragmentation as methods of truth-telling. As a queer woman who lives in London, a white woman with cis and, for many years heterosexual, privilege, an immigrant with a pension and a partner, and an intellectual with an academic career, I write from both the margins and the centre. Through my practice, I aim to create space for voices that are often silenced or split—especially those navigating complex relationships to gender, care, and creativity.
