Basic Info| Name: | Darja |
|---|---|
| Location: | Bloomington, Indiana, United States |
BioI'm Darja* Malcolm-Clarke--a blackbird baked in a pie and Ph.D. candidate in English studying speculative literature and critical theory. I've written academically on the New Weird and am currently writing my dissertation—a poststructuralist feminist analysis of ‘the body’ in post-WWII fantasy & science fiction.
I also write speculative literature, primarily fantasy and weird fiction; I have stories in Clarkesworld Magazine and Fantasy Magazine (a full list of credits can be found here and below). I teach undergraduates and study American Tribal Style bellydance and Tribal Fusion. Living chrysalis to moths and future bog body.

On 'friending': Feel free to add me (but please don't be offended if I don't add you back right away--I have to keep my list shorter so I don't spend all day reading lj instead of dissertating!).
It is not difference that immobilizes us, but silence.

I ate the mythology and dreamt.
--Usef Komunyakaa
Mother, you are the one mouth
I would be a tongue to. Mother of otherness
Eat me.
--Sylvia Plath
Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.
--Edgar Allan Poe
If we don't attend to how gendered identities are formed and transformed and how they are deployed politically, we simply do not have a language of sufficient explanatory power at our command with which to understand the institutionalization of power in our society and the secret sources of our resistances to change.
--Stuart Hall
They slept until the black raven
the blithe hearted
proclaimed the joy of heaven
