Thanks for joining me!
In 1926, Virginia Woolf published an essay on pain, “On Being Ill.” Isn’t it extraordinary, she observed, that pain does not rank with “love, battle and jealousy” among the most important themes in literature. She lamented the “poverty of the language of pain.”
This page is a queer lesbian account through all sorts of pain, caused by the political era of an increasing cruelty, as experienced by a Finnish lesbian in her mid-50s.
It is both about lesbian age(ing), and about the queer/lesbian condition & survival.
The author writes in English even though if it is not her native language.
She believes that these issues may be of interest (and important) beyond national borders and conventional barriers of lingual perfection.
Copublishing dialogues with my colleagues and/or friends is the form I find the most inspiring – and also politically creative.
