Leon Priestnall is a poet based in Birmingham. He has performed his poems up and down the country, headlining at The Door in the Birmingham Rep and performing spontaneous verse on BBC Radio. He is also host and founder of Birmingham spoken word night Howl. He has just released his debut collection Bennetts Hill Blues on Verve Poetry Press.
Liv Torc is a razor blade skating performance poet, who plunges the vast caverns and dormant volcanoes of the human condition, armed with a box of matches and a sense of lyrical wonder.

Her debut collection, Show Me Life, was released by Bristol-based Burning Eye in 2015.
