Writing
Nacre
Diaristic and raw, Nacre is a verse-novel exploring transition, motherhood, sexuality, and grief.
This project was developed during a one-on-one mentorship with poet Omar Sakr via Kill Your Darlings in 2023 and through a Varuna The National Writers' House masterclass with Felicity Plunkett in 2024.
This manuscript is underway.
