I held my breath so they wouldn't notice —
a child standing in the seam of the world.
Thirty dreams, from a vivid dreamworld she has been visiting her entire life. Set down on the page in the order and shape they arrived. Awe and unease side by side. Strangeness arriving as fact. The forms shift between stories because dreams do.
Anni Roenkae is a Finnish artist and writer based in Oulu.
