Lyds

On Repeat: The Music Podcast

What up On Repeaters!

This week we're changing it up, and moving from the medium of music to poetry by speaking to lyds, a Black woman poet and writer. Based in Epsom, UK, her writing practice predicates on delineating the human condition through the prisms of Black womanhood, music, the erotic, spirituality & radical tenderness. In this episode we get into the creative process of crafting poetry and see where the words stop and the music begins.

lyds co-facilitates PRISM WRITERS; a writer’s group for Black women held at the Southbank Centre and has an MA in Black British Writing from Goldsmiths, University of London. She has also had her writing published by the likes of AFROPUNK, Syla Studio, Lungs Project, Kandaka, sweet-thang zine, Lacuna Lit, Guts Publishing and Call + Response Journal. To add to the list, she is currently a writer-in-residence on DIALOGUES.
