There is a lot of strong writing in the first Expanded Field publication. I especially liked Amaara Raheem’s piece 'Kolour'. It’s not easy to write in the second person and there’s not many writers I’d let speak for me. It feels to me that Raheem dreamed this piece into words from a very rich and vivid place where thought, feeling, history and mythology collide. Her writing is light, but comes from a deep and meditative place of long memory. It’s textural without being flowery. It feels both soft and sharp, the writing pours through cracks of our built environment. There’s a gentle subversion of authority embedded,  and a tenuous and tangential engagement with Eva Rothschild’s works, which opens many entries for considering her departures.” (Writer and Participant, 2019)
