“For years other people made me feel like my body wasn’t right, as if part of my body belonged to someone else and they had a right to it. Fucked if I’ll let this happen again. I looked at myself for the first time in so many years with actual care and saw not a body that tried to kill me, but a body surviving. I noticed its resilience and how it tried to conserve and protect me.”

In the summer edition of Meanjin, you can find my latest memoir: an uncharacteristically optimistic piece, about how a mastectomy - despite being quite pinkwashed/overlooked by the Breast Cancer Industrial Complex - allowed me to gain self acceptance.

& if you’re not already tired of reading about cancer, you can pre-order your copy now, or even better: subscribe
