Works about this Work

Reflections on Writing and Disability Susan Hawthorne , 2023 single work essay
— Appears in: Axon : Creative Explorations , November vol. 13 no. 2 2023;

'Much of my fiction and poetry has been a long wrestle with the Pythia, the prophetic snake at Delphi. A figure who slides in and out of consciousness. The mythic imagery associated with her includes Eurydice who is unable to leave the underworld. She represents the dislocation of the postseizure state and her return to status epilepticus. The poems and text in this essay are an attempt to write what is barely writable.' (Publication abstract)
