    ‘Blithe came to me, not in flashing red or pink neon, but in pastels… in soft, painterly tones…’

  • On Rhythm

    On Rhythm
    Dec 11 2024

    ‘Rhythm seems to be the first or formal relation of part to part in any whole…’

    This week, Sally has been thinking about rhythms, in her life, writing, and the works of others. Listen for a meditation, via James Joyce, Jean Rhys’ Good Morning, Midnight (1939), and Sally’s work in progress, on the suturing of experience, and the spaces between moments of being.

    Joyce’s reflection on rhythm, among others, can be found in full here.

    Sally is currently in the early stages of writing out the rhythms and images of her next book – a passage from which appears in this episode - following an unlikely set of characters, including Katherine Parnell, from the realm of fable, fairytale, folklore, and history.

    The guitar music accompanying Sally’s discussion of the fire is by Dylan Gwalia. The closing track is ‘Thursday’, by Paul Sebastian.

    This episode was edited and produced by James Bowen.

    Special thanks to Andrew Smith, Violet Henderson, Kris Dyer, and Maeve Magnus.
