Her anthology, ‘Eighty-Four’ (VERVE Poetry Press, 2019) was a Saboteur Award shortlist, and a Poetry Wales Book of the Year. Helen’s cross-arts dance adaptation of Max Porter’s, ‘Grief Is the Thing with Feathers’ is being funded by Arts Council England and supported by the Birmingham REP, The Arena Theatre, and One Dance U.K. Her new poetry collection, ‘Feeling All the Kills’ is published by Pavilion Press, April 2024.

HAYLEY FRANCES is a poet from Birmingham who uses poetry as a therapeutic medium.
