A Language of Limbs
by Dylin Hardcastle
In alternating chapters, poetically called Limb One and Limb Two, we trace the two versions of a life that follow. In Limb One, a teenage girl is caught kissing her neighbor and is kicked from her home; chooses a new life for herself. She lands at a queer communal home in Sydney, Australia, called Uranian House. Meanwhile, in Limb Two, a teenage girl pushes down her lustful dreams of her best friend and eventually makes her way to a university in Sydney to study English literature. During pivotal moments, the physical space between Limb One and Limb Two closes and they almost intersect. We witness these two lives shadow each other until, finally, they collide.
