Boxes

Boxes is a poetic odyssey seeking shelter in an unstable world.

Caught in the tides of homelessness, our protagonist, covets a box from her past. Fights, fleeting friendships, custard creams, cultural clashes, missed connections, red wine and the power of pounded yam, all lead to a transformative encounter in a Peckham hair salon, setting her on a path to reclaim the box she lost and, perhaps the self she abandoned.

“Boxes are usually really disappointing. Fluff filled, lacking sentiment and empty. But no, not this one.”
