Your Body of Water

  • Siouxzi Connor




Your Body of Water is an autofictional romance in six parts—an odyssey through sex, death, nature, and the feminine.

Sex, death, nature and the ‘feminine’: an autofiction romance in four acts.

Your Body of Water is an interweaving of autofiction with hydro-feminist mythologies, exploring via the emotional landscapes of four rivers and four “tragic feminine characters” (Ophelia, Leda, the Lady of Shalott and Sappho) the author's own real life journey, with a dose of tongue-in-cheek humour – through coming out in Australia, an abusive relationship in Berlin, and navigating queer love in the context of a world literally burning around us – and finding hope for the future in the stories of her ancestors before her.
