Tony Challis has been writing poetry since the 1980s. For some years he facilitated an LGBT+ writers' group at Nottingham Writers' Studio, and in 2018 he was Nottingham Writers' Studio Poet of the Year. He has been published in a range of regional anthologies, and his prose has appeared in Late Outbursts (2014) and Desire, Love, Identity (2019). He is Chair of Nottingham Poetry Society, and enjoys performing his work at spoken word events.
Tara Singh (they/them) was born in Nairobi and moved to Nottingham as a child. Tara is a queer neurodivergent poet and occasional facilitator. Their work explores the Indian diasporic experience, queerness, gender identity, intergenerational trauma, debilitating mental illness and disability.
