About our special guests:
Nic Beck (she/they) aka Great Aunt Tranni is a word-wrangling, neuro-diverse Eco-Queer. Performance poet who beguiles us into hearing her messages about inclusivity, humanity, and the fundamental importance of life, with a combination of humour, vulnerability, anger and sassiness.
Jez Franck (they/he) is a nonbinary multi media artist and poet. Their poems combine magick, nature, personal experience and activism to draw you into a world of myths, archetypes and norm-questioning, weaving his personal experience through ancient stories and contemporary global troubles.
Bryony Percy Ford (he/him) is a self-diagnosed Wizard: hewn from the bleak limestone cliffs and rusted iron of Portland, brought up on a diet of peregrines, ravens and slow-worms before being tempered in the long, loud, lonely darkness of Weymouth’s musical nightlife. He slept in the slow, suburban solitude of Bournemouth before finally finding a voice, a home, and a people amongst the diverse, unapologetic, powerful poets of Southampton
