About
Anna Johnson (she/her) lives and works in East London and, alongside teaching, is currently studying for a PhD in Creative Writing at Kingston University.
Johnson's life-writing practice focuses on motherhood experience, in particular a recurring connection between her experience of motherhood and ideas of haunting, of presence and absence and repetition (daily and generational).
She is interested in theories of the spectral, intersectionality, queerness, feminism, disability, failure and anecdote, amongst others, and in how we might aspire to transform and re-possess language in an attempt to express the ineffable. Her work is also reflective of a complex intersectionality that Johnson sees as fundamental to life-writing. As such, it encompasses issues including neurodiversity and chronic illness.
