The Thought Sits With Me - Ruth Beddow - Bog

the thought sits with me is Ruth Beddow's debut pamphlet. Exploring what it means to dwell, daydream and obsess, the collection charts the various rupture points and upheavals of youth.Opening in the crib of a suburban box room, the reader is ushered through a sprawling environment of primary school changing rooms, doctor's surgeries, student halls and the home of a dead neighbour. Between these shifting walls, the mundane and the unimaginable become precariously intertwined, as physical terrain moulds to that of a changing body and restless mind.Half-bleak, half-hopeful, this is a coming-of-age pamphlet which navigates the blurred lines of an ambiguous world. the thought sits with me is a candid contemplation dedicated to anyone who has ever felt weighed down by their thoughts, or decided to leave them behind.
