Thanks for retrieving this one, @BOMBmagazine. Still remember doing this interview with @Wintersonworld. Loved it (and her work).
From the Archive: Author @Wintersonworld, interviewed by @writercatebush, on her book WRITTEN ON THE BODY (@AAKnopf), romanticism vs. cynicism, and the role of gender in sex scenes. From BOMB 43, 1993. bombmagazine.org/articles/je…

Yup, it was fabulous.
I can’t imagine a more wholesome, creative and validating experience for artists than the #WritersResidency at #NortonIsland. Thanks @efrontiersoc for the new friendships, for levelling up my craft, and just a great time. @writercatebush @justin_geldz @charlynels #WritersLife

“Aunts create constellations of kinship. Aunties are both free & obliged to care... We can learn from cultures in which aunties remain preeminent, sustaining an ecology of intergenerational care, wisdom, skepticism, humor & perspective.” — @writercatebush noemamag.com/earths-aunties/…

Thank you, @ParabolicOcelot!
This is such a beautiful and important essay by @writercatebush. A must read! “We are often exhorted to protect our rapidly warming planet in parental — capitalist — terms. What if, instead, we cared for the world’s future inhabitants like aunts?”
