Programme Note
to quiver is to tremble with fear or emotion.
it is also a case for arrows.
i wrote this piece during a time in which i realised that
every woman i have ever known has been sexually harassed or assaulted.
this piece is for every woman and girl who has felt afraid and who has turned —
or who will in time turn —
that fear, anger, and distress into
a case for arrows.
