Wild Pages: Writers Residency

Amy Adshead is a queer writer based in rural East Anglia, specialising in short fiction and poetry. Their writing is rooted in the sounds, textures, and sensations of a tangible connection to the land and often examines an intertwined relationship between humans and non-humans.

Constantly experimenting with unusual forms and mediums, Amy views their poetry as just one facet of an interconnected and constantly evolving creative practice. Alongside writing, they sing for an art punk band, create zines and practice photography.

Kate is an artist working with moving image and installation, creating work rooted in lived experience and is often collaborative. She is now developing her practice to incorporate creative writing as an integral part of her artistic language.

Kate has worked with a number of arts organisations on film projects which involve local communities, and she also works on a number of cultural projects as a volunteer coordinator connecting people to creative volunteering opportunities.

Aruna has lived in Suffolk for 13 years. She enjoys many forms of writing, but poetry in particular, finding inspiration in the natural world and our complex yet profound connections to it.

Coming from a healthcare background, she has long believed in the importance of stories and community for health and wellbeing. She co-directs a voluntary organisation that champions creativity for wellbeing, for medical staff and students. Aruna is keen to continue combining her caring values with her writing, in developing a community practice.
