Sim Pereira-Madder

Sim Pereira-Madder is a British born poet of mixed Brazilian–British heritage based in London. His work centres otherness, repair, wrongness, and the domestic realm, and is characterized by musicality, deadpan delivery, humour, and small words.

An Obsidian Foundation alum, Poetry School intern and member of British LatinX poetry collective Un Nuevo Sol, his poetry appears in Magma, Ink Sweat & Tears, Propel Magazine, La Piccioletta Barca, and Wet Grain. 

Pereira-Madder is studying for an MA in Writing Poetry with Newcastle University at Poetry School London while corralling work towards perhaps a debut pamphlet. He likes bicycles, cheese, Excel, summer, cake, and hasn’t won anything yet.
