Unwritten Woman

Divided into six sections, the collection opens with ‘Edinburgh is a Story’, a commissioned poem performed at the opening of the 2022 Edinburgh International Festival.The collection then delves into the past and into the unwritten women of Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. With vignettes of the unheard voices from Stevenson’s gothic masterpiece, this is a powerfully vivid evocation that gives new meaning to the tale. In her longest piece in the book, Fractals (a way if seeing infinity), Hannah looks at the recent past and takes the reader on a journey from the old inherited wounds to the trauma of tearing open again these chasms within recent discourses and events.
