Sam says… This beautiful, beloved thing is a double first: the first published work by writer Oisín Roberts and the first original work published by the Burley Fisher Community Riso Press. There’s no way to feel closer to a writer’s work than to spend two days physically compiling their pages! Winding a meandering spiral through their thinking about their emergent transness, Close to God is a tissue of interactions with their close friends and their lovers: finding ways through, together. In their inimical voice, which leaps off the page, Oisín has written a piece finally poised between discovery and recovery. WATCH THIS SPACE!!
