I am a poet, political writer, lyricist and educator and the literary editor of GRASS Magazine. My debut political book, ‘A Small Man’s England’, is due to be published by Repeater Books. I have toured my performance poetry across Europe and worked as the poet-in-residence of Channel 4's TV series 'Four to the Floor'. Other clients have included BBC Radio 1, Red Bull, VICE Magazine, Farah, the Imperial War Museum, the National Trust and the Guardian. My poetry has been studied at the University of Trier in Germany and I have given lectures about widening participation in education and the creative industries at a number of academic institutions. My debut poetry collection, ‘Goodnight Son’, was published by Burning Eye Books.
