TFF: What does “A Moon Witch Seeks a Shell” mean to you?
Devan Barlow: This poem is part of a series of lunarpunk pieces I’ve been writing about these moon witches. Each piece helps me sort out a little more about the setting and the characters, and in this instance gave me the chance to combine two of my favorite things—lunarpunk and sea creatures.
TFF: What is the most important thing to remember about writing?
DB: Keep reading—and reading things that aren’t the genre you’re working in.
Extract:
On the opposite shore, I hope
another moon witch
convinces a mollusk our cause is just
Sometimes, the most difficult conversations are those
between witches upon the same moon
