Try To Be Better is a multi-disciplinary engagement with the idiosyncratic creative practice of W. S. Graham, foregrounding experiment and process.
Co-editors Sam Buchan-Watts and Lavinia Singer invited contemporary artists and writers to respond to prompts Graham left in notebooks and letters. Those responses took form as original poetry, illustration, sculpture, painting, scholarship and more.
The book features the first publication of my short poem, 'How to Speak Myself Out of Myself' (2019).
