Lynn Harding is originally from Cork, but has had Dublin written in her heart since 2013. She likes structure but is terrible at planning, with the result that she stuck around university long enough to earn two Master's degrees (in English and Digital Humanities) before deciding upon a career. Her first forays into writing were dubious 'reworkings' of various Enid Blyton stories when she was in Senior Infants. Though she wrote exclusively fiction until her teens, she is now also a poet, like her dad, George. Her first loves are music and children's literature. When not writing, she spends her free time reviewing books, baking, and lusting after interior design blogs. She works as an editor and would be chuffed if you said hello via her blog Dublin Is My Canada or tweet her @LynnHarding_1

Performance poetry is a different beast to the traditional written poem, and one that’s relatively new to many. It’s a medium that’s alive and well on the Dublin arts scene and is playing a huge role in a recent surge of interest in poetry…
