Sydney Writers' Festival: Nikita Gill: Hekate

A propulsive, electrifying and enraging retelling in verse of the life of Greek goddess Hekate, child of war turned all-powerful goddess of witchcraft and necromancy.

In this magical journey of survival and discovery, Nikita Gill continues her work of centring women from Greek and Hindu mythology as well as folklore. As a poet, playwright, illustrator and actor, Nikita weaves together language, history and imagery in her deeply vivid stories.

Join Nikita for a discussion of the legend behind her latest book, Hekate: The Witch, in conversation with host Kate Fagan.
