Rowena Knight
“Poetry is about communication: I write to get out of my own head, and I read to get
into other people’s. It’s about expressing what you can’t easily express in any other form.”
Rowena Knight started writing horrible emo poems in her school journal when she was seventeen. A commendation in the Foyle Young Poets of the Year Award encouraged her to continue doing so, and four years later she shows no sign of stopping. During this time she has had work published in print and online magazines, read at the Shuffle at the Covent Garden Poetry Café and at the London Poetry Festival, and been awarded the Cadaverine-Ilkley Award for Young Writers. She also co-founded the Durham University Poetry Society, which she continues to run whilst working in a coffee shop and pondering what to do with her life.
