Phoebe Nicholson is a British-American poet and lexicographer. Her work has appeared in various places online and in magazines, but you’re better off catching her around the Oxford open mic scene. You can also find more of her work in a chapbook called Red Devon Mud which contains poems about roots, family, and creeping things, illustrated by her sibling. It can be found here: https://oxfordpoetrylibrary.com/shop/ She also founded and directs the Oxford Poetry Library, a grassroots, volunteer-run library of poetry and hub for creative writing and spoken word based in central Oxford.

Andy H. Melhuish runs the popular Drafting Table workshops at Oxford Poetry Library. He has degrees in Creative Writing and Occupational Therapy, and currently works as a Disability Advisor. A regular at open mics spanning Bristol to London, his work explores themes of mental health, toxic masculinity, neurodiversity, complex trauma, sexuality and shamelessly soppy love.
