Kirsten Luckins

Kirsten Luckins is a writer, performer and artist based in Hartlepool. As founding director of the Tees Women Poets, she leads women of all backgrounds in Teesside to create and perform work about the issues that affect them and the values they live by.

Her own poetry is inspired by ekphrasis, eco-poetics, and experimentation generally, and has been highly commended by the Laurel Prize for Eco-Poetry and the Rialto Nature & Place Competition.

She is currently artist-in-residence at Tees Valley Wildlife Trust, and has recently exhibited written and visual works on climate and biodiversity loss as part of her commitment to Culture Declares Emergency.
