Wait
"The lover's fatal identity is precisely: I am the one who waits." Roland Barthes
In the spaces
between things
In the places
other people don't see
She peers ...
A writer of poetry, short stories & curious things, I'm also a developmental editor. I take my coffee milky and sweet, but prefer my art dark and intense. I enjoy articulating the feminine perspective, & am fascinated by the place where words emerge from our most physical of experiences.
My short story "Motherlines" was published in Australian anthology Stew and Sinkers (2013), and my essay on the life model features in literary journal Etchings (#12 Visual Eyes, Ilura Press ).
