He is the founder of poetry collective The Scribbler’s Union and was co-founder of spoken word cabaret night Sonnet Youth. He is a National Theatre of Scotland Breakthrough Writer, a BBC Writersroom Scottish Voice and one of Scotland’s most celebrated contemporary poets. "An accomplished purveyor of saline wit. Anxiety Music holds a mirror to the cult of individualism, surveying the wreckage with glimmers of hope and hard truths." - Victoria McNulty
Cecilia Knapp presents her debut collection Peach Pig - a candid and unflinching look at loss, an attempt to find a language for it. It grapples with feelings of anxiety, insecurity and displaced anger; but it is also a collection full of dreams, hope and vibrant persistence, a willingness to question and to carry on. "Cecelia Knapp is a great writer. I love her." - Kae Tempest
