Processing Prostitution Through Poetry

Description
Merly Åsbogård and Elly Arrow interview poet and filmmaker Chaucer Cameron about her pivotal work “In an Ideal World, I’d Not Be Murdered” which blends memoir and fiction to give insight into the lives of women in 1980s London prostitution. We discuss the tools poetry provides to navigate and communicate traumatic memories, as well as how to translate or enhance these effects on screen.
