Book Launch: The First Time I Thought I Was Dying

Online

Please note: This event is now being held online.

Join Virgina Gay to celebrate the launching of Sarah Walker’s excellent essay collection The First Time I Thought I Was Dying.

In this striking debut, artist and writer Sarah Walker wrestles with the awkward spaces where anatomy meets society: body image and Photoshop, phobias and religion, sex scenes and onstage violence, death and grief. Her luminous writing is at once specific and universal as she mines the limits of anxiety, intimacy and control.
