Buy Time Cleaves Itself
You can buy the book at an upcoming event, from Peepal Tree Press, or your local indie bookshop.
Time Cleaves Itself invites you into the split and rewoven threads of a disabled Scottish woman of colour’s intersecting, in between worlds as she navigates belonging and claiming space.
Landscapes and bodyscapes are brought into focus through lenses of race, illness, disability and womanhood.
Here lyrical acts of observation unfold with defiance, tenderness, rhythm and the occasional side-eye. The accordion of time stretches across poems that deliver a sonic meditation on memory, grief, disability, belonging and resilience.

28th September 2024 – Dundee
As part of the Robert Wedderburn @200 Conference, I shared poems, accompanied by Indigenous Garifuna drummer Ronald Raymond McDonald. This was a new, fun experience – we even got folk up dancing! It was was quite profound, to be part of creating a decolonial and anti-classism space inside a textile factory that was part of the machinations of Empire.
