Muti-genre, rural Ontario writer Hollay Ghadery talks to AW’s Lucy Black about her new recovery memoir LB: Congratulations on having written such a moving account of your experiences as a biracial, bicultural individual.  Your loving descriptions of family, both the one that nurtured you, and the one that you have constructed, are beautifully written with rich, evocative language.  How did you…

I am still in Angelou's world. I am yet to learn why the caged bird sings. I am still waiting for another circusy read to even arrive. And somehow there is less than a week of June left!? I recognise that a few of you have also spent June in a time machine, immersed in real world activity with nothing left for instagram. The 🎪Circus of Horrors🎪 remains gravely unexplored. There are many curtains yet to peek behind, many illusions to pick apart. Over the next few days I'll do my best to share a little of my intended research. Keep an eye on stories to voice what you'd rather see. In the meantime, I invite you into Angelou's world too; it's not where I planned to be right now, but I'm glad it's where I find myself. 🔗: Link in bio. There's also a glimpse into the literary legacy of Carter - the impression she left upon the art world - from the archives. 🔗: As above. 🤔: What are your favourite circusy reads? Has your June darted across the windscreen of your time machine too? . #angelacarter #nightsatthecircus #circus #bookstragram #bookworm #erinmorgenstern #thenightcircus #amongthebohemians #virginianicholson #bohemia #bohemian #circushistory #history #darkacademia #generallygothic #gothic #gothiccircus #thetimemachine #june #hgwells #tbr #bookstack #imback #sarahwaters #bookquote #mayaangelou #iknowwhythecagedbirdsings https://www.instagram.com/p/CB3WFEygpyj/?igshid=1w2bagnh4et98

My friend made me some home made salve to sort out my gammy hands. I did this as a thank you. It's "Fevvers" the Reubenesque bacon sandwich eating Angel from Angela Carter's "Nights At The Circus" one of my favourite books and characters. #angel #nightsatthecircus #angelacarter #fevvers (at Sheffield)
