Part time poet and performer, full time idiot
Amelie Simon is a poet and performer from Malvern, currently studying for a degree in Mathematics at the University of Bath. They are the Young Worcestershire Poet Laureate (2023-24) and spend most of their time daydreaming on platforms of train stations. Much of their work uses ideas of mathematics or physics to unpick ideas of selfhood and finding a place in the world.
