Afric McGlinchey: Tied To The Wind

Tied to the Wind is an auto-fictional childhood memoir by poet Afric McGlinchey. The book portrays a young girl’s attempts to tether herself to a life that keeps becoming unfixed, each time her family moves from Ireland to Southern Africa and back again. Her nomadic childhood triggers a sense of destabilisation, exacerbated by alcoholism, racism, war and the conflicts of complicit colonial privilege. Interwoven into the narrative are the puzzle pieces of a fateful decision to undertake a skydive, despite her fear of heights. These are the pieces with which to assemble a self. Afric will be in conversation with Sasha de Buyl
