About the poets
Karenjit Sandhu’s limited edition box set Poetic Fragments from the Irritating Archive was published in June 2022 and follows her debut poetry collection young girls! Sandhu’s poems appear in Judith: Women Making Visual Poetry (Timglaset, 2021), Writing Utopia (Hesterglock, 2020) and Nemeses (HVTN, 2019) and her performance work has led to collaborations with the Institute of Contemporary Arts, Flat Time House and Camden People’s Theatre (all in London), as well as the Arnolfini (Bristol) and Galerie Eric Dupont (Paris).
Eleanor Rees’s Guillemot Press collection Tam Lin of the Winter Park is her fifth poetry collection, following The Well at Winter Solstice (Salt, 2019), Blood Child (Pavilion, 2015), Eliza and the Bear (Salt, 2009), and Andraste’s Hair (Salt, 2007), which was shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Best First Collection. She is the recipient of an Eric Gregory Award, an Irish Glen Dimplex New Writers’ Award and a Northern Writers’ Award, and a senior lecturer at Liverpool Hope University.
Maia Elsner is the author of overrun by wild boars (flipped eye, 2021), which won a 2022 Somerset Maugham Award from The Society of Authors. She is currently living in Michigan, where she is completing an MFA in creative writing. A chapbook of poems and a non-fiction art book are forthcoming with Guillemot Press.
