+Backplaces is a web-based play. A short anthology of poems and stories about vulnerability, intimacy, and the internet. It explores the internet as a place for holding big feelings and intimacy when it is unbearable. As an homage to those who have been vulnerable with me I created "backplaces". They are tender online spaces for relief and acknowledgement of societal pain.

To do this, I have taken the feelings behind the comments, found where they met my own, and used our shared words to write poems.

Once you have whispered your sibling feelings to me, they will stay with me and I will never use nor share them. <br/>
