Your Body of Water

Your Body of Water is an autofiction romance structured in four acts, intertwining hydro-feminist mythologies with the author’s real-life experiences. It examines the emotional landscapes of four rivers and tragic feminine figures—Ophelia, Leda, the Lady of Shalott, and Sappho—while navigating themes of sex, death, nature, and the feminine. With a touch of humor, the narrative delves into the author’s journey through coming out in Australia, an abusive relationship in Berlin, and the complexities of queer love amid global challenges, ultimately seeking hope in ancestral stories.
