Lorraine Dixon

Lorraine Dixon is a music teacher and a poet who enjoys sharing her work in print and in performance. She has read her work at Fire and Dust (Coventry) and for Writing on the Wall’s Writers’ Bloc (Liverpool). She uses her poetry to explore the multiple elements of her identity as an older, working class woman born in Yorkshire whose heritage is African Caribbean. 

Dixon’s poems have been published in The Train River Poetry anthology (Train River, 2020), Geography is Irrelevant: poetry in isolation (Stairwell Books, 2020) and Where We Find Ourselves: Poems and Stories of Maps and Mapping from UK writers of the global majority (Arachne Press, 2021).
