Henry Arthur Thorpe

Henry is a York based poet, originally from Somerset. He writes 'folky poetry', about myths, the countryside, the sea, magic and monsters. He has been around the York open mic poetry scene for a few years now, as co-host of BeSpeak and a regular at The Spoken Word. He has previously been published in the Looking Glass Anthology and Three Drops from a Cauldron. He enjoys walks in the woods, lore and mythology.

Henry has a bachelor's in English Literature from the University of York, and whilst there founded a society called 'Shakespeare and Wine' which was exactly what it says on the tin and inspired a love of spoken word and performance. Writing from a young age this led him into the York spoken word scene, helping him refine his poetic writings into performance pieces often more like short stories and folk tales in verse form.
