The Inevitable
Two poetic prose narratives converge in The Inevitable by Jade Lascelles to explore what it means to be a vulnerable body living in a hard, violent world. The diptych asks us to lean in close to examine the crossroads; how might we romanticize brutality? How might we respond to being invaded?
