Desi Liversage (she/her) entered the poetry slam on the spur of the moment one morning and turned up (but almost didn’t) that evening. This was her first ever slam. Her world is defined by how far she can walk and bus and currently writes observational phone poems on the bus. She is also a textile artist and occasionally runs workshops on embellishing and upcycling clothing. Her poetry and art are intertwined as one informs the other.
