Love Beneath The Nails
My debut poetry collection was published by Verve Poetry Press in February 2022. You can buy it directly from me here (and I’ll even throw in a free sticker).
‘In writing that is cinematic and intimate Lyons balances deftly on the bridge between what is spoken and what finds life on the page. Experimental and innovative this debut first collection adventures across a range of poetics including two heartbreaking sets of cantos circling grief and sexual terrorism. Beautiful.’
– Joelle Taylor
Everything Comes From Somewhere
Everything Comes from Somewhere contains the commissions and other poems written during my tenure as the 2022-24 Bristol City Poet. It was published by Lyra: Bristol Poetry Festival in 2024.
Commissions & collaborations
I am available for commercial and private writing commissions, and have created bespoke work for clients such as Bristol Green Capital Partnership, The University of Plymouth and The Cemetery Club, as well as for individuals and small businesses such as artist Gail Reid. I am also available for collaborations of all kinds- I LOVE making art with others, and recently wrote the scripts for a series of interactive fungal sculptures installed at Wakehurst, Kew as part of Little Lost Robot cic’s Wood Wide Web.
If you are interested in commissioning a piece of work or collaborating on a larger project, please message me via my contact form.
