Creative Writing

Audience-perspective picture of Cynthia on stage. She is a fat brown latinx femme, reading from her notebook and doing a gesture with her other hand on the microphone. She has short hair and is wearing a domino dress, a purple cardigan and glasses.

Creative writer with more than 10 years of experience in poetry, short stories and essays. Constantly experimenting with the possibilities of the written and spoken word to convey the everyday realities of the human condition and Western civilisation.

Some of the themes I explore include cultural and countercultural shock, rites of passage, liminality, alternative community histories, embodiment, and self-preservation.

Proud alumna of Mouthy Poets and member of Gobs Collective, both based in Nottingham, UNESCO City of Literature.

Spoken word

As a spoken word performer, I have opened for renowned international artists such as Lydia Towsey, Caroline Bird, Jonah Matranga, Hannah Swings, Penny Rimbaud, Lauren John Joseph and Jamie Thrasivoulou.

Publications

My debut poetry collection, Meanwhile, was published in October 2020 by Burning Eye Books.
