‘I am cringe, but I am free’ - words to live by!

In this episode we talk about collective resilience, body doubling, journalling, and writing a book as a way to escape.

I am joined by Elspeth Wilson. Elspeth is a Scottish writer, poet, and creative facilitator whose work explores the body, nature, neurodivergence, and what it means to feel at home - in ourselves and in the world. Her debut poetry pamphlet, Too Hot to Sleep, is published by Written Off Publishing and was shortlisted for the Saltire Society’s 2023 Poetry Book of the Year. Her debut novel, These Mortal Bodies, is out now. It is described as "the perfect combination of sinister, nostalgic and glamorous".

When she’s not writing, she can usually be found in or near the sea, or on the lookout for new kinds of vegan chocolate.
