Across complicity, resistance, harm, denial, care and hope, the collection asks what we choose to see — and what we allow ourselves to ignore.

 

The subjects are not light ones: prejudice, cruelty, appetite, bureaucracy, climate, grief, silence and care. At times the voice is direct and clear-eyed; at times it is angry, wounded, satirical or tender. But the intention is not to dictate meaning. It is to ask the reader to pause, to question, and to look again.

 

Still We Wriggle looks at the systems we inherit, the systems we sustain, the harms we excuse, and the possibility that we might still choose to be different.
