Keira Jones
Keira Jones is a secondary school student and a poet whose work explores school, anxiety, numbness and emotional survival. Her writing is blunt, stripped-back, and deliberately minimal, focusing on moments that are difficult to explain out loud. Much of her poetry centres on feeling disconnected while still being expected to function. Writing began as a way to cope with emotions she could not fully understand, and became a way to record them. This is her first published book.
