If listening is a form of attention, and attention is a form of love, Bella Cox's Sikiliza presents itself as both an imperative and a promise for exploration of the bonds that tie the constituent elements of a self together. A self woven from voices rooted in different continents. A self both defined by and defying notions of what it means to be woman, sister, daughter, lover, loved, queer. A self versed in the languages of scalpels and flowers. A self that howls, soothes and sings off-key. A self that's unapologetically here, wherever here may be.
Bella Cox is an internationally acclaimed poet, performer, workshop facilitator, event host and producer. She is a three-time Barbican Young Poets alumna, twice nominated as Young People’s Laureate for London, and has co-founded two regular London poetry performance events. She has fulfilled commissions for institutions such as the Barbican Centre, HSBC and Westminster Abbey, and has been featured at TEDx Pretoria, Sköll World Forum and the Malta Mediterranean Literature Festival. Her writing has been published in The Sol Plaatjie European Union Anthology (2016), the Anti-Hate Anthology (2019) and Articulations for Keeping the Light In (2022). Her debut pamphlet Sikiliza showcases her proudly queer and feminist perspectives. Bella currently lives in London, where she continues to write and perform regularly.
