My Name Is Swan is a wayfaring river monologue that follows a solitary voice through the hidden fringes of the city. Adam Carr’s accompanying film is a meditation on the marginalised taking us down the narrow-ways and river tributaries where litter glitters like supernovae. My Name Is Swan will be published by Ink & Ribbon Press in a limited edition print run in October 2026.
