| Ruth Gordon in Cakes and Ale |
Lives in: Easton, Bristol
Create: I write songs and poetry and also play in a band, called Cakes and Ale. I like to play around with automatic writing and cut-up poetry. Most of my songs have got stories in them, I find I tend to use animal imagery a lot too. At the moment I have one about being swallowed up by a whale and another about an abandoned wolf.Somehow I find that writing about animals is a good way for me to express emotions. The one about the whale was written whilst I was living in a community which I had gone to as a retreat- I felt like I wanted it to swallow me up and keep me safe. Now the whale has spat me out into Bristol and I am in the process of drying off and exploring the new land. I'm up for new projects so get in touch if you'd like to play!
Other creative stuff: collages, keffir-making, gardening, would like to start children's music and gardening workshops

One thing I love about Feminism is... I like the chance to think about the ways people limit themselves through gender stereotyping and the ways we can blast through those perceptions!
