We welcome Davian Aw, author of the poem “ship of living ghosts” in The Future Fire #75, to the latest in this issue’s microinterview series.
TFF: What does “ship of living ghosts” mean to you?

Davian Aw: It emerged from worrying about the global rise of anti-trans legislation and the spectres of forced detransition and deportation, and wondering what it might look like when people who know and love each other start physically turning into strangers. It seemed a very SFF thing.
TFF: What are you working on next?
DA: It would be a lie to say I’m actively working on anything, but I’m currently procrastinating on a lot of short stories, all spec fic! One of them is a workplace horror-comedy and another is a non-workplace horror-comedy, possibly as a reflection of the current state of the world.
Extract:
we breathe
in small dark spaces cast upon the waves
beneath an infinite sky;
