Intimacies, Received signals agency, as trauma is held to the light and finally named.

In this astonishing second collection by T. Bambrick, violence hides in the glint of the carving knife—every intimacy a shadow, every memory a maze to navigate. Set primarily in rural Southern Spain, Intimacies, Received moves through streets and fields, households and years, following a survivor of sexual assault as she painstakingly reassembles a narrative of self.

A brilliant storyteller, Bambrick builds through palimpsest—layering vivid imagery to recall embodiment and dissociation, illness and isolation, queer female sexuality amidst acts of misogyny—utilising varied forms including ekphrasis, persona, and a lyric essay.

Ultimately, Intimacies, Received signals agency, as trauma is held to the light and finally named.
