Could you put out an audiobook version too—- and be the narrator too? (Audiobooks seem more genuine if the the author herself narrates it herself). You rock

Thanks Jay— there is not currently an audiobook though maybe that’s a project I’ll get into sometime soon. I’ve narrated almost all of my books and agree it’s a great way for readers to enjoy a book— especially poetry.

Just thinking about this book puts a lump in my throat. Not only are you an extraordinary wrangler of prose, but you accomplish this EPIC feat of feminism and humanism by writing about these lives. The Actress as a figure continues to be so misunderstood and underestimated. Women who are sharp aren't supposed to be SEEN, women who are SEEN aren't supposed to have free will. I'm just grateful to and for you, that's all. Congratulations!

Yeah, what she says.

WOW. The whole thing was heartbreaking, but the last line, "not a speaking role," after all of that blew my mind. Wow.

I’m trying to buy your book through the link in your SUBSTACK post. BUT the bookshop has no Australian State option so I am unable to purchase a copy.

What do you suggest?

Thank you so much for your reading of my (hazel-eyed) life. Now, finally, I’m learning lines to speak. 🌺
