Maia Watkins @thedressinggownpoet
Kelly O @kellyochonogor
MAIA WATKINS is an actress, poet, author and reiki/sound practitioner.
Maia found a love for poetry during a recovery journey from suffering a brain haemorrhage end of 2022. She was inspired to write thirty-three pieces of heartfelt poetry to honour each year of her life, and so her new collection - ‘The Dressing Gown Poet: Life. Loss. Love’ is now out
She has also won best female spoken word poet 2024 for the Wordplay and Flow Awards.
KELLY O is a spoken word poet whose work is rooted in faith, identity, and self-reflection. Her poetry is honest and introspective, often exploring the tension between who we are and who we’re becoming, with a focus on growth, healing, and truth.

🍃✨
- Self love is the easiest thing to do once you know how to do it (this was something @simply___emmy told me before my first ever ceremony 5 years ago and it’s a thought that returns to me often)
- Self love is not to be confused with a fulfilled ego
- Fuck me, I write great poetry 😂
- Why is something as natural and healing as plant medicine not deemed normal
- I’m so honoured that it’s part of my path
- Listen to indigenous people
- We can learn a lot from ants
- My poetry is for the masses not just the poetry scene
- If we want the pain to go we have to feel it first
- Why are we sooooo modern medical science obsessed when nature heals
- Heartbreak is mad
- Wow, I am a WOMAN
- People can only heal themselves
Side note: Reading Benjamin Zephaniahs autobiography on a plant medicine retreat can change your life, especially if you’re a poet
