As always, props to @talkwordy.bsky.social for believing in me and my writing and asking me to do the collection.
Amal El-Mohtar's review of If Wishes Were Obfuscation Codes: It’s an ambitious, inventive and energetic project...Overall, Edwards has much to reveal about voices, ventriloquism and the sly potential of terms like “code switching” — but always in sideways glimpses.
