Reading: Ducks, Newburyport, Lucy Ellmann

Why did you want to read this? Ducks has been mine and freya's beloved lockdown companion. My attention wanders as often as the narrator's and I feel less bad about myself while reading pun after excellent pun. I'm sure ducks is actually a fancy magic trick. Whatever you have been thinking about will appear in the pages you read - a chocolate pudding, the sunlight through leaves, a pandemic.

How did you record yourself? Propped my phone on a pile of cushions on the sofa.
