Christmas corgi content continues. Will return to posting about writing eventually.

A jet lagged Sunday mood.

My work has recently turned back to echoes and conversations with voices that can’t reply. I’ve been returning to this piece on my experience of #grief while researching poetry & death. It is filled with echoes of final moments, where we all got poetry & life felt rich. ejlw.eu/article/view...

Proof of the previously mentioned cutest corgi in the world.

Just introducing myself to Bluesky 👋 I research and write about a variety of things including grief, illness, and solitude. I’m currently writing about my own chronic illness, queerness and the unexpected connectedness of solitude. I’m also a human to the cutest corgi in the world.
