Description

Sex, death, nature and the 'feminine'- an autofiction romance in four acts. Sex, death, nature and the 'feminine'- an autofiction romance in four acts. Your Body of Water is an interweaving of autofiction with hydro-feminist mythologies, exploring via the emotional landscapes of four rivers and four "tragic feminine characters" (Ophelia, Leda, the Lady of Shalott and Sappho) my own real life journey with a dose of tongue-in-cheek humour - through coming out in Australia, an abusive relationship in Berlin, and navigating queer love in the context of a world literally burning around us - and yet finding hope for the future in the stories of my ancestors before me.
