For the @guardian_us I spoke with Harriet Clark about her monumental debut THE HILL, the continued use of family separation as a means of punishment, how a child absorbs that punishment, and the importance of dignifying many different kinds of care
My garden this year failed to grow any edible tomatoes, just long eggplants. Ate an old boyfriends bicycle. Swallowed some Dahlia tubers into the earth and accepted them as payment (no flowers just money and time). Continued to support extremely hostile advancing feral cat colony. Smelled like other people’s hamburgers when it was warm out. Mostly did whatever it felt like doing, as it does every year.
