About Me

I'm Caleb, a Barrovian writer, performance poet, and workshop facilitator. My work explores themes of youth, modern life, and growing up in a small town where not much seems to happen. From Manchester to Leeds to my hometown of Barrow, I've performed at poetry nights, featured in various zines, and been heard across the North West on BBC Radio Cumbria & BBC Upload.
