A 23-year old local poet currently studying Creative Writing in York.

​

Writing is my life line - a tool I use to make sense of confusing and difficult events or emotions. After writing for over a decade, I continue to find immeasurable value in words. The very notion that you can reach a stranger, from a piece of paper and can make an impact in the busy time line of their lives without ever needing to meet... is fascinating to me.

​

That being said, one of my beloved ways of sharing poetry is of course, spoken word. Otherwise known as performance poetry or Slam poetry - it’s the unapologetic demand for you, the audience, to listen. Found in all forms, shapes and colours of the rainbow. Spoken word poets have something to say, something crucial and timeless. We are constantly building and rebuilding a time capsule with our words, for the next generation of activists, believers and dreamers to follow.
