Ms Leena Batchelor

Calling herself a “poetic minstrel with living in her veins”, Leena writes passionately about everything that strikes her mind and heart, striving to provide meaning and entertainment, finding oodles of inspiration in travels, expansive life experiences, and generally watching life over the rim of a teacup.

Leena can often be found reading at 42 Worcester (The UK’s premier alternative-genre spoken-word event, named in homage to the great Douglas Adams) and Dear Listener. She is also a member of the Worcester Writer’s Circle and has previously performed at the prestigious Ledbury Poetry Festival. Leena has also collaborated with artists creating exhibitions combining poetry and art.

Selected as Worcestershire Poet Laureate 2020-21, Leena was also Poet-in Residence for The Commandery, Worcester – the UK’s first Civil War Museum 2020-22.

Leena’s work can be found in both print and online (see www.pixieuse.co.uk for links), and is available for talks and commissions.
