Andrés N. Ordorica is a queer Latinx writer based in Edinburgh. His writing maps the journey of his diasporic experience and unpacks what it means to be from ni de aquí, ni de allá. He has been published widely including the Guardian, The Skinny, bath maag, Gutter and Poetry Unbound. His poetry collection At Least This I Know which was shortlisted for the Saltire Society’s Poetry Book of The Year. His forthcoming fiction debut How We Named The Stars will be released in February 2024 with Tin House.
Rosa Moxham is a Glasgow based artist, writer and performance poet. Her practice uses cut and paste methods interwoven with anecdotes to create relatable narratives often regarding issues faced by workers in precarious industries. She has performed at a wide array of events and exhibitions in Scotland, including a poetry showcase with the BBC’s Words First as well as multiple events organised by various trade unions. Rosa enjoys working collectively and has participated in a number of collaborative projects.
Gordon Powrie (AKA The Emile Durkheim of asinine rhyme) strikes again with twisted syllables depicting the end of times through the lens of an incurable case of obsessive pop culture disorder. Imagine if Charlie Brooker and John Cooper Clarke accidentally used the same teleportation chamber at the same time. This is the goop that would come out the other side.
