Their debut poetry collection Folkish was published by Nine Arches in 2026, their other works include Dionysia published by Verve Poetry Press, and Unfurl, a collaborative fiction experiment. They have been widely published in anthologies and journals for their poetry and prose, including Butcher’s Dog, 14 Poems and Strange Horizons. They run The Braag CIC, a poetry and speculative fiction press.

Suyin Du Bois is a poet of mixed Chinese-Malaysian and Belgian heritage, living in London with her South African husband. Her poems have been published in Propel, Iamb, Stanzas, Bi+ Lines: An Anthology of Contemporary Bi+ Poets (Fourteen Publishing, 2023) and Malaysian Places and Spaces (Maya Press, 2024), amongst others. She is a member of the Southbank Centre’s New Poets Collective 2024/25. When not obsessing over word choice, Suyin spends her time building a profit-with-purpose start-up that seeks to ensure 24/7 access to nutritious, affordable food for NHS hospital staff. Eating Air is her debut pamphlet.

Ellora Sutton is a poet based in Hampshire. She is the poetry reviewer for Mslexia, and a pamphlet selector for the Poetry Book Society. She has been published by The Poetry Review, Magma, Poetry London, etc. Her debut collection, Little Bitch (Verve, 2026), was described by Rachel Long as, “Sharp, tender, hilarious [...] a marvel!”
