Bios – Guests
Ioana Poprowka is a pseudonymous trans woman whose new zine, The Collected Scathings of Ioana Poprowka, takes on transgender representations in the media as well as relaying her personal experiences. Her hobbies include bottling up her rage, playing the pronoun game and baking. She uses a nom de plume because she became tired of the predictable questions regarding her crotch, but occasionally blurts out her little secret when drunk in order to rejoice in the discomfort of others.Her work will be read by Edinburgh zinester, Nine, and can be purchased at www.jinxremoving.org
Alison Smith is a storyteller, performance poet, workshop leader and founder of Pesky People. Her day job is as an arts consultant specialising in Disability Arts delivery and practice, training and mentorship. http://peskypeople.wordpress.
London-born and Glasgow-based, Chris Young writes and performs in a variety of styles and genres - poetry, puppetry, song and improv, to name but a few. This February sees the 20th anniversary of his coming out - to Eamonn Holmes live on air. Since then, his limericks have made even Anne Robinson chuckle as part of his quest to become a TV quiz whore. In his spare time, he is a murder suspect and parliamentary candidate.
