I've been thinking about sharing some (very basic) advice from all the trips I have taken to archives of mainly 20th century papers, so here goes:

*TOMORROW at 4pm* Free screening of Kirsten Johnson's funny, moving and highly original 2020 documentary Dick Johnson is Dead with Q&A at Taliesin Create, Swansea University. Register here- events.swansea.ac.uk/talk/index/289…

Happy to see this one out in the world. Absolutely loved writing it. “[N]o branch, no leaf, no fruit”: Writing about Infertility and Assisted Reproduction in the Poetry of Monica Youn’s Blackacre (2016) and Allison Cobb’s Green-Wood (2010) doi.org/10.1093/cww/vp…

Happy to see this out in paperback! liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/doi/10.3828/97… @LivUniPress

This radical bookshop in Canton has introduced me to so many wonderful books that I wouldn’t have found otherwise. I hope it weathers the storm. So sad to see how hard it is for independents at the moment @shelflifecdf instagram.com/p/C4LGuvoINvK/…
