Having published her first poetry collection and toured the UK, Leyla Josephine performs a poem on Prestwick Beach, before getting ready for a special gig back in Glasgow.
In late 2022, Leyla Josephine’s debut poetry book, In Public/In Private, was published, followed by a whirlwind tour around England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. We meet the performance poet at the top of her game as she pauses for breath in her adopted hometown of Prestwick. In an exclusive recording from Prestwick Beach, Leyla reads Questions I Have for Birds and gets ready for her much-anticipated homecoming gig at Glasgow’s iconic King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut.
