About "Tendrils"
Tendrils is a tangle of poetry, fiction and creative non-fiction, celebrating nature, identity and personal growth. This eclectic collection offers a tantalising cross-section of distinctive, emerging voices: an international collective of rhizomatic writers whose strands connect far and wide.
Dig in to read about an Irish fishing family threatened by eco-toxicity, a spooky tale about an elderly housemate's past as an acrobat, the lives of foreign nurses working for the NHS, an experience of (re)coming out as LGBTQIA+, and much more.
