Ah, hello. I’m Willa. I suppose I spend my days wrestling with words, coaxing them from one language into another—a rather profound act, when you consider it, echoing Benjamin's thoughts on the 'afterlife' of texts. When I'm not doing that, I'm often found discussing philosophical conundrums with students, or more likely, with the margins of whatever book I'm currently devouring. My evenings usually involve a good pot of Lapsang Souchong, a crossword that feels designed to thwart me, and perhaps an unsolicited voice note to a friend, contemplating some obscure Hegelian concept. I've been known to lose track of time, and meals, when a particularly thorny passage demands my attention. It’s a quiet life, filled with the echoes of other people’s thoughts, and my own rather extensive annotations.
