Alexi Edwards is a poet and spoken word performer from Boorloo (Perth), now based in Meanjin (Brisbane). Her work explores mental health, queer identity, and politics through sharp social critique and narrative lyricism. Drawing on the blunt veracity of Catullus, the storytelling tradition of Banjo Paterson, and a touch of Edgar Allan Poe’s theatricality, her poetry bridges page and stage while somehow managing to give her audience a good laugh. Alexi self-published her debut poetry book and spoken word album which launched on 4 April and is available both in-person and online via her Ko-Fi shop.
