Aimee Cass

Aimee Cass is an emerging writer and editor living and working on unceded Gadigal land, Sydney. She studied English at the University of Sydney, where her honours thesis examined the intersection of geology and literature through mid-century fiction. When she isn’t writing, she’s likely hiking, cooking, reading, or admiring an especially well-shaped rock. Her favourite authors include Maggie Nelson, Ursula K. Le Guin, Louise Glück, and Deborah Levy. As an editor at N.A.S., Aimee is interested in the conversation between photography and language — the ways they intersect, diverge, and translate one another. Can a photograph read as a kind of text? What can an image articulate that words cannot? When words and images co-exist on a page, how do they shift each other’s meaning?
