HEADLINER: CATHI RAE

Cathi Rae is an award winning poet, spoken word artist and creative writing tutor. Much to her own surprise she has an MA and PhD in creative writing and poetry. She has headlined throughout the UK at poetry nights, literary events and festivals and is delighted to be making a return visit to Fire and Dust. She has been described as a 'spoken word icon' by Joelle Taylor and as writing poetry that is 'beautiful and necessary' by Lydia Towsey.

Her work focuses on telling stories of other people's lives and giving a voice to the voiceless and marginalised. She will be reading from her forthcoming collection - 'Poems of other people's lives' and talking about how we can use poetry as biography. There will probably a couple of poems about dogs too.
