  Founded in 2016, the Super Power Agency follows a tried and tested model first trialled in America, 826 National, which has since been adopted by more than 50 organisations worldwide. We are dedicated to showcasing the written works of the young people who take part in our projects and have already published over twenty-seven books. One of our first “The Leither’s Guide to Leith” is now housed in the archives of the National Library of Scotland – quite an accomplishment for its young authors. Currently partnered with 21 schools in Scotland, our volunteers share their time and talent to support the work of teachers and youth workers. My role is recruiting, training and supporting our amazing corps of volunteers. I provide further support in events, publishing, marketing, social media and workshop design.

• Poet

  • Aug 2018 - Present

  I self-published an art book, Falter, in 2018. ‘Falter’ accounts for a woman’s experience in this century of trauma, one that embraces ambiguity, intersubjectivity, and volatile memory. Through the search for omens to provide meaning and identity, the writer encounters butterflies as fieldwork on the damaged planet. In the form of microscope-slide prose poems and photography the protagonist takes note of a rising dissolution of self (oceanic feeling), refusing pathologizing accounts to re-frame this post-traumatic landscape as a potential site for radical acts.
