TARN WILSON
Tarn Wilson is the author of the memoir The Slow Farm, the memoir-in-essays In Praise of Inadequate Gifts (winner of the Wandering Aengus Book Award), and a craft book 5-Minute Daily Writing Prompts. She is currently taking a break from her long-term relationship with prose and has been shamelessly flirting with poetry.
They have lost the keys to each other’s houses. They have
forgotten their shared story. But this is the body she has. She doesn’t have a spare.
Writing about my body has both helped distance me from my body – I am not what my body looks like or what it can do – and helped me own it.
