The 18th of our Insta sessions features Carla Mellor. Carla is an up and coming spoken word poet. Her poem ‘a kingdom united’ featured on BBC Breakfast and she was guest poet for Louise Fazackerley at her recent book launch.

Born and bred in Yorkshire, she currently lives in Wigan, Lancashire and began posting Instagram poems in 2018 as @poetry_for_the_people: writing accessible, down to earth, relatable words for the everyday person.

This session will be hosted by Louise Fazackerley. The sessions in general welcome guests to join us for relaxed conversations and performances. They’re broadcast live on our Instagram account from 7.30-8pm (BST) on Tuesdays, and then uploaded to Facebook, YouTube and IGTV shortly afterwards.
