Long Thin Strands
Click to explore the collectionIn her debut collection, Margaret Allis investigates the delicate intersections of truth and fiction. Through interconnected narratives, these stories explore the quiet persistence of human connection across shared landscapes and overlapping lives.
A graduate of the Auckland University of Technology (MA in Creative Writing, 2011), Margaret writes from Devonport, Auckland, focusing on the profound themes of loneliness and the strands that hold us together.
"I am compelled to write, as if the world needs to hear what I have to say – it seems presumptuous, I know, but here I go. At any rate I need to hear it and send it somewhere. So, I’ve started late but I’m not stopping in a hurry. I write of loneliness and various human struggles – and often in memoir. Welcome to this site."
