Welcome!

Harping On features various harpings on in essay form about literature, film and culture, all by Elizabeth Harper-Williams.

Harping On is also a space for my original, creative work. My first novel Tender is the Gelignite is now available to buy from Amazon. I also write and publish poetry here, influenced and informed by the likes of Maya Angelou, Mary Oliver, Walt Whitman and Ariana Reines.

I deeply care about writing, yoga, Shakespeare, intersectional feminism, dismantling white supremacy, teaching, eating vegetarian and vegan food, being open about anxiety, Lana Del Rey, ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and many other things.

Some of the essays on Harping On were previously published on now closed-down blogs and online magazines. They will find a permanent home here.
