Poetry Ambassadors presents the work of three exceptional new poets from the Solent region. It is the first publication from the Poetry Ambassadors mentoring scheme, a new programme supporting emerging literary talent co-founded by ArtfulScribe, Winchester Poetry Festival, and Will May from the University of Southampton. The work of these three poets takes in everything from Tolstoy to the Supremes, birth certificates to the underworld. Arresting, playful, and compelling, here are poems to challenge, provoke, and inspire.
Kaycee Hill Livres


Winner of the James Berry Poetry Prize. Kaycee Hill frankly explores coming of age as a woman - and the intricacies of connection and memory - against an urban-pastoral landscape. Reflecting on her life and those in it, as well as first-times, underground scenes and the female body, she looks towards what is unflinchingly personal.
