Equal parts paranormal investigator & doomsday prophet, Sam J Grudgings (he/they) is a queer poet & events host from Bristol shortlisted for the Outspoken Poetry Prize 2020. Drawing from analogue body horror, crust punk & the ecosystem of poets exploring the other, his performances are whirlwinds of the devastating possibility that things can get better & weirder & hornier.. His books are available from Verve Poetry Press and Broken Sleep Books
