AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'I am Keith Wright’s daughter: Writing Things I ‘Almost’ Cannot Say is a personal and provocative perspective. Using creative writing and storying I piece/peace together my relationship to/with my father. Always a strong and unsettling presence in my life, his unexpected death forces me toward reconciliation of tensions, identities, wounds and memories. Writing/Wrighting/Righting my stories into being, my particular points of view at points in time, and examining this conflicted yet foundational relationship, helps me remember what I have learned and helps me reclaim what matters to me. Writing the things I ‘almost’ cannot say—and have not been able to say for most of my life—is a storying in and through the dark, a storying in and through the wounding, and a storying in and to healing.'  (Publication abstract)

    'The new, recently re-designed Taylor and Francis website has added much to user-friendliness for journal readers and submitting authors. But this edition of Life Writing has made me realise that in leaving the old format behind we have lost a useful feature—the ability to quickly scan the list of contributors and get a sense of the overall ‘balance’ of where our articles are coming from. In a globalised world this may seem irrelevant, but I'm sure I'm not alone in having an interest in the geographical, linguistic and cultural context in which our authors write.' (Editorial introduction)
