A psychological exploration of silence, memory, and unspoken devotion set against a forgotten coastal estate. What do books really hold when the final story ends?
Stephen Smith
I’ve spent most of my life writing, growing things, saving seeds, taking photographs, and noticing the stories people and places leave behind.
My work moves through fiction, poetry, nonfiction, drama, folklore, memory, nature, and the strange. I return again and again to the same things: place, inheritance, identity, plants, history, and the ways the past keeps reaching into the present.
The Violet Storyteller is a home for all of it.
