Jemima Roberts
Jemima Roberts is a writer, artist, poet and cartoonist born and brought up in Mid Wales. After university, she spent a number of years living in different UK cities, globetrotting and bobbing across oceans on boats. But like a fish returning to source, she now lives with her 9yr old son, a stone’s throw from where she grew up.
She is an alumnus of the Faber Academy (2010) and was the recipient of a Literature Wales Writers Bursary in 2018. She has performed her poems in various far-flung outposts around the world – on land and at sea but has never chased publishing, certainly not for her creative work. The alchemy, for Jemima, has always nestled somewhere in that nexus between writing and performing.
Through the From Now On project, Jemima received mentoring support and critical feedback from Hanan Issa, Co-founder of Where I’m Coming From – though not on this particular piece.
