'The evening breaks with song. A woman wrapped in a shawl sits at a piano, adjusts her webcam on its mantle, and begins to play. Her chords drift into digital space, a space which yields the bandwidth to hold even the deepest waves of grief. As much as language can ostracise those who do not understand, Melanie Hsu's vocalising at her piano follows a cadence all can comprehend. She sings free of words.' (Introduction)

    'Pickles is the name of my cat and I love her very much. Pickles has soft, white fur, dappled with orange and tortoiseshell. Pickles likes to sit where you were just sitting, or in places you were just about to sit (perhaps she thinks the chairs are being pulled out for her). Pickles’s favourite toy is my pot of Blistex Lip Conditioner SPF30.'
