Natural Disasters is the first poetry collection from Andrea MacPherson. It explores memory and history, asking if it is possible to inherit the past and the generational complexities that come along with it.

Living in Gravity explores how we bear gravity, both physically and metaphorically. Some of us are lucky enough to float with someone through a night sky, as the lovers in Chagall's paintings do, while at other times we are crushed by relentless and punishing weight. In this play...

Turning Left to the Ladies is an autobiographical account of the fiftee...
