LEAD LOAD is a fragmentary prose work shaped by ports, ships, and kitchens—sites of transit where weight is handled, covered, and transformed. Moving between childhood memory and adult return, the book follows an apprenticeship in bodily and imaginal knowledge: codes learned without instruction, care enacted through use, and labour as a shared structure.
