About the facilitator: Rhian Parker (they/them) is a black, dyke poet from the American Deep South. Their work meditates on the spirals we write ourselves into and out of in order to better understand ourselves, our communities, and collective histories. They are published in Hyperrhiz: New Media Cultures, Ink, Sweat & Tears, Nova Magazine, and Cyclista Zine. Rhian rejects that writing has to be a solitary act. They also believe that everyone is a poet! @passiveworshipAbout the producer: Gayathiri Kamalakanthan is a Tamil poet and producer. They won the Disabled Poets Prize 2024 and their novel-in-verse, Bad Queer, is forthcoming with Faber.gayathiri.co.uk @unembarrassable.
