You may have seen on my socials that I’ve formed a new organisation called LIVEwire Poetry. This organisation has evolved from Nymphs & Thugs and will hopefully play a huge role in the next phase of my career.

LIVEwire Poetry specialises in live events and writer development. For this launch period, I’m running it alongside Jack Simpson and my better half Maria Ferguson.

You can read more about LIVEwire Poetry here, and also subscribe to the mailing list on the official site. Stay tuned for news of events and workshops!

Programming and producing events has always been a passion of mine. As has enabling and inspiring others: creating opportunities and pathways wherever I can. The poetry community is my life, and I want to play a small role in shaping it for generations to come. That’s why LIVEwire Poetry has come to exist.

We kick things off with LIVEwire Manchester at The Edge Theatre & Arts Centre on Thursday 14 March. Our feature poets are Momtaza Mehri, Jess Green, and Casey Bailey! Tickets are here for £15 (£13).
