I am the 2022 Varuna Poetry Fellow!!! When I got this phone call I cried tbh. Doing a residency at @VarunaWriters has been a goal of mine for years: one of those secret goals you keep locked in a drawer and don’t tell anyone about because it feels TOO BIG.

“I think the most radical thing we can do as writers is sit with our lives and give ourselves permission to document our everyday experiences and see them as worthy.” – Madison Godfrey @howtobeheld #SydneyWritersFestival

Brand new writing from me, published by @kyd_magazine 🥰
When ascending a climbing wall, writes Maddie Godfrey, I experience an altered way of being both inside and outside my body. In those moments, the choreography of gendered movement becomes not a constraint but a capability. @howtobeheld buff.ly/3Km94Ld
