Kat Lyons is a Queer writer, performer, workshop facilitator and creative producer. They were Bristol City Poet from 2022-24, and their poetry collection Love Beneath the Nails is available from Verve Poetry Press. They are interested in how stories connect us to our world and each other, and believe everyone has a story to tell, and a voice worth hearing.

You'll have a chance to see Kat in action, with our Spork! Poetry show shortly after the workshop, at 7pm. Open Mic tickets are also available.
