Liz Thompson’s Just a Cotchell: Tales from a Dockland’s Childhood and Beyond has many of the hallmarks of a novel. Thompson developed her book through involvement with Basement Writers, which provided a launch pad into a creative exploration of her past. She developed a

I am lucky that my faith in my creative instincts—facilitated by the many forms of support and privilege that I’d enjoyed my whole life—was behind my own selfdoubt and shame, and ultimately stronger than the internalized voices that warned me off writing memoir. It quickly became apparent to me that embodied writing is not in opposition to political writing. In fact, it is the

Throughout her eighty-seven years of life, in countless notebooks, many of which are now lost, her ideas about the world surrounding her were recorded in the form of poems and song lyrics she composed with a guitar. Many years later, having raised four children, my grandparents, along with part of the family, moved to the Metropolitan Region, settling in the municipality of San Bernardo. I was born in the 1980s, in the middle

No less interesting is the question of how to assess the socio-economic, humanitarian-economic, and environmental-economic effectiveness of self

Sustaining the narrator system Making a detailed assessment of the structural and editing developments in filmmaking during what was perhaps one of the industry’s most creative periods is fraught with difficulty.

They go on to say that modern universities have only existed for a few hundred years and during this time have not really fostered much in terms of new ways of learning and understanding or engaging with the world.
