This week's chronicle is Saoirse. The episode opens with Saoirse sharing their thoughts on creativity. We talk about their journey with writing and how they decided and managed to make writing & editing their profession. They share their studies on colonisation and the English language and we also talk about how effective translation is in publishing. We talk about social media poetry, writer's block and things writers should keep in mind while building their craft. Saoirse also talks about their journey on identifying as non-binary. The episode ends with two poems written & narrated by Saoirse along with an excerpt from a piece they have edited.
Saoirse's name and passion are the same: freedom. As an exophonic writer, their academic interests revolve around linguistic power dynamics, especially in connection to the land. They are also a freelance editor and are currently associated with Oyster River Pages and The Winnow Magazine. You can find the on Twitter and Instagram @saoirseedits
