the endurance and effort of it

loss and longing

Lucia Orellana-Damacela contemplates how distant memories resurface at moments of life transition

Snagged on red thread by Jazmine Linklater #poets nationalism and belongingSnagged on red thread is a long poem of protest, power and complicity. Jazmine Linklater articulates how the apparatus of Empire is encoded in the structures we live in: militarised sights set on schoolyards, bargaining arms deals with teenagers, surveilling civic squares, co opting institutions. And yet Snagged on red thread is compelled to march, to embroider, to bear witness.
