Jane Midwinter is a poet, curator and facilitator based in East Sussex.

Her poetry often explores memory, place and the details that linger – a shell in a pocket, the echo of a voice, the way light falls at the end of the day. Her work has appeared in Wild Court, the international poetry journal from King’s College London, and in the Poet Town anthology.

Alongside her writing, Jane develops and facilitates poetry workshops, creative projects and learning opportunities for schools, libraries, festivals and community organisations. She is passionate about creating spaces where people of all ages can encounter poetry in meaningful, engaging and unexpected ways.

Jane is Director and Poetry Curator for Eastbourne LitFest and works collaboratively with cultural and community partners across East Sussex to develop projects that connect people with poetry, creativity and place.

She reads regularly with A Load of Poets at Twelve Hundred Postcards in Hastings and at venues across the region, and is available for workshops, readings, events, poetry walks and creative collaborations throughout the South East.

I was born in North West London but spent much of my youth in and around Fairlight and Hastings, where I also met my husband. I love the rhythm of the coast, the history in the streets, and the small details that spark a poem.
