About this listen

When you're 14, there is no afterwards.

Tanja steps through a door into adult experience from which there is no return, a relationship where desire and excitement give way to shame and control.

Years later, now a poet armed with the language to name what happened, she finds a box of Eg's mildewed letters and begins to read ...
