MYRIAM SAN MARCO AND ANITA KARLA KELLY
Myriam San Marco is a poet, promoter and creative writing facilitator. Many years ago, she truanted school to go to libraries, read all the books, drunk all the drinks, took all the drugs, partied in all the fields and from time to time, wrote poetry.
As the Bournemouth Poet Laureate, Myriam San Marco has been leading a creative writing and development program for local writers with the support of Bournemouth Libraries and continues to support poetic initiatives in local schools.
She founded Word Makers and Silence Breakers in 2016 and curates a bi-monthly spoken word night at Chaplin’s cellar bar. Myriam has been found performing on street corners, bookshops, carnivals, festival stages and poetry events. Abe Gibson described her performance as cutting to draw blood.
Myriam’s words have been published online and in print. She feels burdened to tell the stories that would break the existing narrative, like a small pebble in your shoe which would cause you to stop walking to hunt it down. Her debut collection Sakura was published by Burning Eye in June 2018.
Anita Karla Kelly is a writer, arts practitioner and facilitator who uses theatre, writing and poetry to inspire people to express themselves. Anita teaches writing workshops in Bristol, above pubs and in theatre spaces, using playful approaches to writing to empower others to find their voice.
Anita is currently writing a play called ‘Buzzing’ with Graeae Theatre and workshopping it with Bristol Old Vic. She also works for Misfits Theatre Company and Plymouth Theatre Royal delivering theatre and playwriting workshops.
Her short stories have been placed in various competitions, including the Bristol Short Story Prize.
Anita performs theatre and poetry, most recently at What She Said Bristol feminist poetry night. With boundary-pushing feminist theatre company Dada for Girls where they won most provocative and groundbreaking performance in theatre festivals in London and Sweden.
