Writing from the edges - creative nonfiction, poetry and performance

Hello, I’m Ysella, a writer, poet and performer based near Exeter in Devon.

My work explores identity, belonging and our connection to place, often writing from the edges and seeking connection in the in-between.

You’ll find my creative nonfiction in journals like Caught by the River and Little Toller’s The Clearing and my poetry in journals like Spelt, Ink Sweat & Tears, Brittle Star, and Iamb. You can catch me reading out loud from time-to-time across the glorious South West.

Recently I’ve created a community poem with the help of Literature Works’s Seed Bed funding and excitingly I’ve been awarded funding from Arts Council England to develop a writing project on migration, ecology, land and belonging.
