The Vertigo Project: new work!

[mrissa]

 

I've mentioned here before that one of my big projects this year is my involvement with The Vertigo Project, which now has a webpage so the rest of you can see what we've been doing. Earlier today I facilitated the first creative therapy-style writing workshop through that group, and it was really lovely--and is just the tip of the iceberg on what this group is doing.

Specifically, you can now read all the new work they've commissioned from me! Friends, it's a lot. It's journaling prompts for people who would like to use writing to process some of their own vertigo experiences. But also it's the following stories and poems:

Advice for Wormhole Travelers (story), safe conduct through strange new worlds

Club Planet Vertigo (poem), this is not the dance I wanted to do

Greetings from Innerspace (poem), my orbits are eccentric

The Nature of Nemesis (poem), me and Clark Kent know what's what

On the Way Down (poem), falling hard

Preparation (poem), sometimes we're just literal, okay

She Wavers But She Does Not Weaken (story), when the waves hit you even on dry land, it's good to have someone who's willing to swim against the current for you

The Torn Map (story), rewriting the pieces of the former world into something new

The main page also has links to some of the other aspects of the project, which includes a nonfiction book, dance, puppetry, a podcast with a physical therapist, and more. Please feel welcome to explore it all.

Looks like She Wavers But She Does Not Weaken currently links to Preparation in your post. The other links look fine, as are the ones on the site.

Favourite line: "They're beautiful, you utter flounder." :)

Thanks, should be fixed!

Not fixed

[mrissa]

I see that it isn't, but I am literally not at all sure what happened there, since I deleted the one link and put the other in. I will try again.

[mrissa]

Seems to have worked this time, whew

[themagdalen]

Yes. And: Sorry, I meant: These are all lovely. One link you posted didn’t seem to work right and I was sad because the others are so great! Glad to see they are all reachable via main website.
(And yes: link in yr post now works good)

What a great project. I loved these, especially the last two stories. I would eagerly read more in Davine's & Hawthorn's world...

[mrissa]
