I have been published in poetry magazines such as Magma, Mslexia and Ink, Sweat and Tears. Alongside this, I have written poetry commissions for organisations such as Chelsea Flower Show, The BRI Hospital and Bristol Festival of Ideas. I have spoken on numerous programmes about poetry and creative writing, such as BBC Radio Four and at the Mix Conference. My Literary Agent is Valeria Huerta.

Spoken Word

I have performed my work at poetry festivals such as Ledbury, Cheltenham, Bath Lit Fest, at music festivals such as Glastonbury and Womad and venues such as The Royal Albert Hall, The Natural History Museum and South Bank Centre. I have also read globally- in Turkey, Romania, South Africa, America and Sweden. During my career as a spoken word artist I have been employed by principle organisations such as ‘Apples and Snakes’ and I was the Lyra Festival 2020 poet in residence.
