American Psycho

October 2, 2023October 2, 2023 ~ Kylie Eklund-Denman ~ 2 Comments

I grew up near Readings Bookshop in Hawthorn. Receiving a Readings voucher was by far my favourite gift to receive. I would wander the shop, reading blurbs, and take forever to make a decision about how to spend my cherished book money. I have many wonderful memories of Readings, but by far the most vivid … Continue reading American Psycho

The Rise of Banned Books

October 1, 2023February 6, 2025 ~ Kylie Eklund-Denman ~ 1 Comment

Indulge me, if you will... Imagine I am a school librarian, in Des Moines, Iowa. I am slowly walking through the stacks, removing titles as I go. The Kite Runner, The Handmaid's Tale, Brave New World, The Colour Purple. You may picture me in a pencil skirt, with a fitted jacket, my hair in a … Continue reading The Rise of Banned Books

Freedom and Writing

April 27, 2023April 28, 2023 ~ Kylie Eklund-Denman ~ 3 Comments

I take for granted that I can sit, whenever I want, and write whatever I like, and then publish it. Of course I censor myself, as far as language and appropriateness are concerned. I am not wanting to offend. But, I am free to have my own opinions and ideas. In many places this is … Continue reading Freedom and Writing

After wallowing, or was it drowning, in stress and grief and moving house, I’ve finally pulled on my big girl writing pants and put an order in for my gorgeous friend, @annefreemanwrites new book 🥳 I was surprised that I wasn’t too late for the goodies 🪩 It’s been ages since I posted. I’ve been moving house and bereft at the loss of my soul companion, Yoki-san 😭. My cultural cup is full after escaping moving house to enjoy a couple of sessions at Melbourne Writers Festival. A delayed post…I’ve been off socials for a week. But, it was surreal to see my name, face, words, and photos in print in the relaunched @thehillscene magazine 🤩 Congratulations @adridaze on the excellent capture of the hills creative community ❤️ thanks for the opportunity and I look forward to contributing further 🥳 One week without you, and I was so broken hearted, we moved house. I couldn’t bear not seeing your little face at the window. I miss you, Yoki-san, you took a piece of me with you ❤️ Last night we had to say goodbye to my best friend, my little saviour, and the best dog I’ve ever known, Yoki-san, after a brief and rapid decline. Last night’s sunset from the deck of our new house 🌅 If you’ve listened to the podcast, this is the sweet little mouth that was singing ‘The Roof Is on Fire’. So sweet, so cute, just starting kindergarten. The sunset in Brasil, that I talk about in the podcast. It was spectacular.
