insect & lilac

by Amy Key (Poet), Rebecca Perry (poet)

A collaborative poetry pamplet produced at Halsway Manor during a residency there. The work investigates depictions of womenhood in British folklore.

Key and Perry write in their authors' note: 'As writers who are drawn to the exploration of ‘womanhood’ and the female experience, we decided to draw on materials in the library at Halsway Manor looking for elemental scraps of women’s voices and writing about women, and to piece them together to create new collaborative works.'
