Are you a poetry fan on the hunt for brilliant wordsmiths? Look no further than Marlo. The London-born writer and performer – publishing under the name D Mortimer – spans mediums and meanings, zines and stages, books and communal connections. "I make books and zines, and I perform my work around London in communities with other trans writers and performers," they explain, packing decades into a single breath. Why write? "There's this writer I really admire called Robert Glück and he said that writers become writers because they never got over the fact that other people are different from them." For Marlo, writing is about not understanding. "Language has always been the way I work things out... although with the awareness that you can never really understand other people."
