Babeth Fonchie Fotchind

How can you shape your own life if outside influences keep trying to push you in a certain direction? Babeth Fonchie Fotchind writes about the hidden vulnerabilities in the life of the metropolitan, apparently successful millennial. Code-switching between language registers, she navigates through open plan offices and dating apps, migration pain and queerness. In physical, sensitive and yet playful poetry she explores intimate themes, from maternal bond to the desire to have children. She tries to make the reader look further and still put the unspeakable into words.
