Writing Coercive Control Episode 6: Carla Jenkins
<p>Coercive control is endemic and therefore it must be cultural. If 1 in 2 women experience coercive control, it’s in our homes in childhood. How does this affect us? And how do we talk—and write—about it? This 6-part live-recorded, interactive talk series will inspire writers and readers to explore literature about coercive control in wider contexts, including state control, parent/child relationships, historical control, and control in industry and workplace. Guest authors Sahar Delijani, Rowan Hisayo Buchanan, Winnie M Li, Chimene Suleyman, Kim Moore, and Carla Jenkins, meet with host, author Abigail Tarttelin, to discuss their experiences writing coercive control.</p><p>In this episode, debut novelist Carla Jenkins discusses hierarchies and power in the therapist/patient relationship, as represented in her novel FIFTY MINUTES. </p><p></p><p>Therapy was meant to solve her problems, not make them worse...</p><p>Twenty-year-old Dani is desperate to overcome her demons, leave her dead-end job and return to her hard-won place at university. Using her limited earnings, she decides to start seeing a psychotherapist.</p><p>Richard Goode is educated, sophisticated and worldly-everything Dani aspires to be. As he intuitively unpicks her self-loathing, Dani assumes the fantasies she's developing about him live only in her head. That is, until things take a shocking turn...</p><p>Descending into a maelstrom of twisted desire, manipulation and mistrust, the power struggle between Dani and Richard escalates until she's forced to make a decision she never would have anticipated.</p><p></p><p>With host Abigail, Carla speaks about the aims of writing coercive control into fiction, how to take care of yourself while writing about difficult subjects, and how our cultural and youth histories of coercive control can frame our adult receptivity to it. She also discusses how easy it is to become a therapist, how the lack of oversight is putting vulnerable people at risk, and how making meaning through writing our own narratives about coercive control allows us to take back power and make sense of our experiences.</p><p>Also, host Abigail looks back on the last five episodes of WRITING COERCIVE CONTROL, a podcast funded alongside her work-in-progress novel ORDINARY WOMAN TURNS 30, an autofiction novel about a woman dealing with the aftermath of coercive control in an intimate partner relationship as she approaches her 30th birthday. The previous five episodes of the pod feature discussions on state control with Sahar Delijani, parental control with Rowan Hisayo Buchanan, industry control and #metoo with Winnie M Li, domestic and romantic relationship coercive control with memoirist Chimene Suleyman, and exploring the same topic in poetry with Kim Moore. </p><p>Follow Carla <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/_raw_writing?igsh=MXJsMWdpeTZhb2kwNw==">on Instagram here</a>. </p><p>Carla’s novel FIFTY MINUTES is available now to purchase or order through all good bookstores.</p><p>Follow Abigail as she writes her novel on Substack at <a target="_blank" href="http://HTTPs://abigailtarttelin.substack.com">abigailtarttelin.substack.com</a></p><p>Send your questions and comments for the podcast to Abigail’s <a target="_blank" href="https://instagram.com/abigailtarttelin_">https://Instagram.com/abigailtarttelin_</a></p><p>Abigail’s novels FLICK, DEAD GIRLS, and GOLDEN BOY are available now to purchase or order through all good bookstores.</p><p>This podcast is co-produced by Abigail and Clear Lines Festival.

Writing Coercive Control Episode 5: poet Kim Moore
<p>Coercive control is endemic and therefore it must be cultural. If 1 in 2 women experience coercive control, it’s in our homes in childhood. How does this affect us? And how do we talk—and write—about it? This 6-part live-recorded, interactive talk series will inspire writers and readers to explore literature about coercive control in wider contexts, including state control, parent/child relationships, historical control, and control in industry and workplace. Guest authors Sahar Delijani, Rowan Hisayo Buchanan, Winnie M Li, Chimene Suleyman, Kim Moore, and Carla Jenkins, meet with host, author Abigail Tarttelin, to discuss their experiences writing coercive control.</p><p>In this episode, poet Kim Moore discusses writing her own lived experiences of coercive control and domestic violence into poetry and creative non-fiction in her works IF WE COULD SPEAK LIKE WOLVES, THE ART OF FALLING, ALL THE MEN I NEVER MARRIED, and ARE YOU JUDGING ME YET? POETRY AND EVERYDAY SEXISM. </p><p></p><p>Kim Moore’s pamphlet <em>If We Could Speak Like Wolves</em> was a winner in the 2011 Poetry Business Pamphlet Competition. Her first collection <em>The Art of Falling</em>(Seren 2015), which includes a quietly devastating sequence following a woman embroiled in a relationship marked by coercion and violence, won the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize. Her second collection <em>All The Men I Never Married</em> (Seren, 2021), in which 48 numbered poems take us through a gallery of exes and significant others where we encounter rage, pain, guilt, and love, won the 2022 Forward Prize for Best Collection. Her first non-fiction book <em>What The Trumpet Taught Me</em> was published by Smith/Doorstop in May 2022. She is a Lecturer in Creative Writing at Manchester Metropolitan University.A hybrid book of lyric essays and poetry <em>Are You Judging Me Yet? Poetry and Everyday Sexism </em>was published by Seren in March 2023. Essays tackle subjects that range from heckling at poetry readings, problems with the male gaze and explorations of what the female gaze might look like in poetry and discussions about complicity, guilt and objectification, the slipperiness of the word sexism and whether poetry can be part of transformational change.</p><p></p><p>With host Abigail, Kim speaks about the importance of meaning-making, the fragmented nature of poetry paralleling the fragmented nature of traumatic memory, forms including bricolage and multiple choice in ARE YOU JUDGING ME YET?, the writing of her two poetry collections, incidences of sexism in performing her poetry, legal and safety considerations in publishing work based on her own lived experience, the circular nature of memory, writing, and experience, and how it feels to look back on her poems now. </p><p>Also, host Abigail reads two poems from her own work-in-progress novel, ORDINARY WOMAN TURNS 30, an autofiction novel about a woman dealing with the aftermath of coercive control in an intimate partner relationship as she approaches her 30th birthday.</p><p>Follow Kim on <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/kim_moore_poet">https://Instagram.com/kim_moore_poet</a> </p><p>Follow Kim and friend, poet Clare Shaw, on Substack at <a target="_blank" href="http://kimmoore30.substack.com/">http://kimmoore30.substack.com</a></p><p>Kim’s works are available now to purchase or order through all good bookstores.</p><p>Follow Abigail as she writes her novel on Substack at <a target="_blank" href="http://abigailtarttelin.substack.com/">http://abigailtarttelin.Substack.com</a> </p><p>Send your questions and comments for the podcast to Abigail’s <a target="_blank" href="https://instagram.com/abigailtarttelin_">https://Instagram.com/abigailtarttelin_</a></p><p>Abigail’s novels FLICK, DEAD GIRLS, and GOLDEN BOY are available now to purchase or order through all good bookstores.</p><p>This podcast is co-produced by Abigail and Clear Lines Festival.

Writing Coercive Control Episode 4: Chimene Suleyman
<p>Coercive control is endemic and therefore it must be cultural. If 1 in 2 women experience coercive control, it’s in our homes in childhood. How does this affect us? And how do we talk—and write—about it? This 6-part live-recorded, interactive talk series will inspire writers and readers to explore literature about coercive control in wider contexts, including state control, parent/child relationships, historical control, and control in industry and workplace. Guest authors Sahar Delijani, Rowan Hisayo Buchanan, Winnie M Li, Chimene Suleyman, Kim Moore, and Carla Jenkins, meet with host, author Abigail Tarttelin, to discuss their experiences writing coercive control.</p><p>In this episode, London-based writer and co-editor of THE GOOD IMMIGRANT USA Chimene Suleyman talks about writing her memoir of an abusive relationship, THE CHAIN.</p><p>In January 2017, Chimene Suleyman was on her way to an abortion clinc in Queens, New York with her boyfriend, the father of her nascent child. It was the last day they would spend together. In an astonishing sequence of events, Chimene was to discover the truth of her boyfriend's life: that she and many other women had been subtly, patiently and painfully betrayed in the most traumatic and sinister of ways.</p><p>Exploring how women are duped every day by individuals, Chimene interrogates how society itself continually allows this to happen. She demonstrates that, no matter how intelligent, educated or self-aware a woman might be, over time they can be played into performing the age-old role of giver and nurturer: self-sacrificing and subordinate.</p><p>Both a devastating personal testimony and a searing indictment of persistent misogyny, The Chain is a book for any woman who has questioned her relationship and buried her doubts, for any woman who can't quite identify the source of her unease and for any woman who has been sheltered by the fierce protection of her female friends.</p><p>With host, author Abigail Tarttelin, Chimene talks about several aspects of the book and her work, including socialisation of women to care for men, normalising of weaponised incompetence, and how we can save ourselves from coercive control.</p><p>Also, host Abigail reads from her own work-in-progress novel, ORDINARY WOMAN TURNS 30, an autofiction novel about a woman dealing with the aftermath of coercive control in an intimate partner relationship as she approaches her 30th birthday.</p><p>Follow Chimene on <a target="_blank" href="https://instagram.com/chimenesuleyman%C2%A0">https://Instagram.com/chimenesuleyman</a> </p><p>THE CHAIN is available now to purchase or order through all good bookstores.</p><p>Follow Abigail as she writes her novel on Substack at abigailtarttelin.Substack.com </p><p>Send your questions and comments for the podcast to Abigail’s <a target="_blank" href="https://instagram.com/abigailtarttelin_">https://Instagram.com/abigailtarttelin_</a></p><p>Abigail’s novels FLICK, DEAD GIRLS, and GOLDEN BOY are available now to purchase or order through all good bookstores.</p><p>This podcast is co-produced by Abigail and Clear Lines Festival.
