About Bryn
Writer, Australia, ex-UK. I've been quietly at work on my historical fiction about 12th and 13th-century Mongols since It's my main occupation/obsession. Before that, I spent years on a creative translation of Beowulf (unfinished) and wrote science fiction. Keen on: walks by the sea, where I live. Baroque opera, Shostakovich, David Bowie. Books, old and a few new. Doctor Who and Star Trek: Discovery.Meghan Purvis, my #1 translation
My poem on Grendel, &#;Scapegoat&#;, has been published at Heroic Fantasy Quarterly.
Read online.
As always, I urge people to read a poem aloud, with the mouth and the ears.
My inspiration was Algernon Swinburne’s ‘The Leper’, which I read (aloud) over and over to steep myself in its ballad rhythms, somewhat halt, its stark simplicity of words, somewhat awkward, its rough rhymes. Swinburne does a medievalist diction here and I think he found in medieval poetry a choppy quality, rough edges that in medievalism (imitation of the medieval) are a part of the charm. In his poem these aid the rude simplicity, the stumblingly sincere narrator’s voice.
‘The Leper’ got called ‘one of Swinburne’s shockers’. It describes a lady being eaten away by leprosy, rejected in disgust by her

Congratulations, Dr. Sara Mohr, who successfully defended her dissertation today! We asked Sara a few questions about her academic journey. If you're interested in learning about her path and where she's headed, continue reading!
1. Where did you come to Brown from?
I grew up in southern California before moving to Chicago to study Anthropology at the University of Chicago. I then spent two years as an undergraduate admissions counselor before applying to graduate school.
2. What drew you to this area of study? What do you like about it?
My 6th grade humanities teacher, Ms. Hoos was the first to teach me about Mesopotamia, but I didn't know studying Assyriology could be something you do with your life until I got to college. Assyriology just seems like a never-ending discipline of cool things to explore. I have particularly enjoyed stretching it to its limits and using the Assyriological lens to think about our ancient past, our recent past, and our future.
3. What is your dissertation about?
My dissertation reimagines secrecy and hidden writing as protective forces employed by a scribal class deeply affected by the changes in their socio-political world. I look at scholarly cuneiform texts that end with secrecy statements forbidding non
