Helen Gregory Helen is a poet and academic, which means that she not only lives in an ivory tower, but can describe it using vivid imagery and interesting metaphors. She works on both stage and page and has released her own CD and chapbooks, as well as being published in various anthologies and websites. She has performed her poetry at festivals, theatres, pubs and pavements around England, North America and Japan. In 2008 Helen took over Glastonbury Festival’s Poetry&Words stage, and has since seen it grow from strength to strength. She is proud to be able to bring wonderful, internationally-renowned poetry stars to the festival every year. On the academic side, Helen finished her PhD on poetry slam at the University of Exeter in 2009 and has since researched the education and developmental applications of youth poetry slam, and the efficacy of reminiscence-based poetry interventions in improving the quality of life and care of people with dementia. |
