Dodie Bellamy's writing focuses on sexuality, politics and narrative experimentation, challenging the distinctions between fiction, the essay and poetry. In 2018-2019 she was the subject of On Our Mind, a yearlong series of public events, commissioned essays and reading-group meetings organized by CCA Wattis ICA. Her 2015 essay collection When the Sick Rule the World will be followed in 2021 by Bee Reaved, a new essay collection circling around grief, loss and abandonment. With Kevin Killian, she co-edited Writers Who Love Too Much: New Narrative 1977-1997. A compendium of essays on Bellamy's work, Dodie Bellamy Is on Our Mind, was published in 2020 by Wattis ICA/Semiotext(e).
