Spoken word and Q&A with Latinx poet Elida Silvey. Silvey uses the blend of Spanish/English in her work alongside a distinctive imagist style to explore her sense of identity and femininity.
Elida is a Mexican-American poet and writer living in London, UK. Her self-published books HOME IN LIMBO and NOTHINGS explore cinematic poetry centered around those closest to her as an exploration of the effects love and longing have on identity. She is the poetry editor for Sunstroke Magazine where she also occasionally writes, a writer for Hard of Hearing Magazine and editor for the charity-based blog Voces — who strive to provide a safe platform for Latinx women and non-binary people in the UK. She also works full-time within the publishing industry.
