Meet The World: Queer Desires

10 Jun, 2025

A conversation between Marylyn Tan, Rosie Garland and me…

Back in December, while spending a few days in my Mum’s wind-whiplashed seaside bungalow, I bolted Mum’s delinquent cockapoo into another room so I could steal an hour of relative peace to chat with authors Marylyn Tan and Rosie Garland about writing queer desire. Part of the National Centre for Writing’s ‘The Global Page‘ series of online events, the project assembled an eclectic, international mix of writers to explore ideas across style, language and culture. It was a real joy and privilege to be part of, and I loved talking to Rosie and Marylyn about writing, queerness, witchcraft, nature and our desire for liberation over equality.
