We’ve Ann Atkins coming up as our headliner. Woohoo! We haven’t seen Ann for a while so it’ll be great to see her in full flow.
Ann Atkins is a slam-winning poet who likes playing with words and finding inspiration in unusual places, often dished up with a dash of humour. She performs across the country and worldwide online. She co-hosts Coventry's Fire&Dust open mic, and Fire&Dust Zoom for an international audience.
Ann has been published in numerous anthologies and her work has featured on several radio shows. Her collection Not a Robot was published by Allographic Press (2023). Experienced in writing for commissions, she also enjoys facilitating workshops for all ages. Ann features in the Write Club Podcast, is a Nine Arches Press Dynamo mentee (2023-24) and represented Coventry in Dresden on the Coventry Dresden Writers exchange in 2023. She is quite sure she is not a robot.
