Hillary Leftwich will read from her new book, Saint Dymphna's Playbook.

Hillary Leftwich is a neurodivergent, multimedia writer and the author of Ghosts Are Just Strangers Who Know How to Knock (CCM Press, 2019 and Agape Editions, 2023 new edition), Aura (Future Tense Books and Blackstone Audio Publishing, 2022), and Saint Dymphna’s Playbook (Limit Zero, 2025). She teaches writing at several universities, writing workshop organizations, and nonprofits for adults, youth, and unhoused populations. She focuses her writing on class struggle, single motherhood, trauma, mental illness, the supernatural, ritual, and the impact of neurological disease. On the outskirts of the writing world, she is a professional Tarot reader and speaks with the dead. She lives in Denver.

“Saint Dymphna's Playbook is a mixed-genre, hybrid collection speaks on themes involving violence against women, the male gaze, and SA. Although I wrote it over four years ago, the themes are heavily present within society today. Some say it’s perfect timing to release this book now, but this doesn’t make me feel better. I wish moving into 2025 we had more rights, not less.”
