Poet, Writer, Performer
I’m a writer, poet and performance poet based in the UK. I was raised by a professional children’s clown and grew up in a household full of magic tricks, theatrics and cats. In 2021 I was shortlisted for Penguin Michael Joseph’s Christmas Love Story Competition, and more recently I was successful in gaining a place on literary agent Curtis Brown’s highly selective Novel writing course. My work is heavily inspired by romance; the unseen beauty, the often-overlooked creases of the world.
