HOLLY PECKITT
Holly Peckitt is an MA English Literature student at Bangor University. To her, writing is an exhale, as necessary as oxygen. Originally from Manchester, Holly hopes to pursue her poetry, prose and playwriting as a career. Previously her work has featured in Moonchild Magazine, Black Bough: Issue 1, MuggleNet and The Stage. When she's not writing, you'll find her reading, gardening, or exploring her second home of North Wales.

MUHAMMAD FIRDAUS
"Let me explain! No, there is too much. Let me sum up!"
- Inigo Montoya, The Princess Bride
Muhammad has been many things in his short three decades so far:
Journalist, soldier, scriptwriter, radio presenter, linguist, martial artist, philosopher, politician, poet.
He did his diploma in Communications & Media Management in Singapore, his BA Linguistics in Bangor, and is doing his MA Creative Writing in a global pandemic.
The last time he hiked to Snowdonia, he got lost up a lakeside path, stuck up a mountain ridge overnight, and found his way back down to Llanberis on the other side of the ridge by following a river.
He explores his haibun prose-poetry much the way he explores Gog Cymru.
NESS OWEN
Ness Owen is a poet and lecturer from Ynys Mon. Her work has been published in journals and anthologies, including in Planet Magazine, Mslexia, Red Poets and Poetry Wales. Her first collection 'Mamiaith' was published in 2019 by Arachne Press. She has forthcoming collections with Parthian and Arachne in 2022.
