Join Jeremy Dixon (he/him), poet and co-editor of JOY//US: Poems of Queer Joy, for a practical writing workshop looking at ideas of LGBTQ+ and QUEER JOY. Being able to express our JOY is vitally important for us as individuals, as communities and as a political act of solidarity and defiance. It will be a LGBTQ+ friendly space, but open to all. We aim to create a fun and safe and nurturing creative space for anyone over 18 years old, so if this is you please come along whatever your writing experience or history.


Jeremy Dixon is a poet and maker of Artist’s Books. He was born in Essex and moved to the Vale of Glamorgan as a teenager, living there for over 45 years. His poetry has appeared in Butcher’s Dog, Found Poetry Review, HIV Here & Now, Impossible Archetype, Lighthouse Journal, Anti-Heroin Chic, Roundyhouse and other print and online magazines. He has been published several times by Arachne Press, including his first full collection, A Voice Coming From Then which WON the poetry category for Wales Book of the Year English Language Poetry.
