Alva and the Mockingbird was first published in: Birmingham Poetry Review

Meet Alva, the protagonist of writer L.S. McKee’s series of poems exploring a woman’s experience across various landscapes, including the contemporary American South. Made in collaboration with sound designer Ben Williams, McKee takes us through a series of psychic spaces – dreams, doctor’s offices, online dating platforms – finding beauty and horror along the way.
