In 2021 I Graduated with an MA in Creative Writing from Royal Holloway, University of London. In early 2022 I began working at Faber Academy where I can currently be found. Since childhood, I’ve been devoted and passionate towards literature, music, and the arts. The poetry of Louis MacNeice, Elizabeth Bishop, and many others, means a great deal to me. The poems I’ve submitted to this review are informed by encounters I’ve experienced in life, but there is also a cautious pinch of Scottish diaspora in there too, and a conflicted relationship with the idea of home. When I’m not writing poetry I am writing and performing music, once in Glasgow but these days in London. I think my dedication to folk music, jazz, post-punk and new wave, and the legendary singer-songwriters from the 60s and 70s is apparent in these poems also. https://www.bedfordsquarereview.com/meron-berhanu daily 0.75 2023-03-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce36d714e7e950001b78ed8/bd06af7c-6784-49b7-bc68-e0db9f3d3430/Screenshot+2021-11-14+at+11.52.59.png Meron Berhanu - About the author Meron Berhanu is a poet and short story writer from Kilburn, London.

Be it getting lost on an island off the New Zealand coast or spending 800+ hours on creating the perfect game run on the hardest level, this cat loving tea-enthusiast has a deeply entrenched love and understanding of stories and their significance. Thus, she hopes to write tales that become a home and hearth to readers who need some starry-eyed wonder and respite in their lives. https://www.bedfordsquarereview.com/lydia-bunt daily 0.75 2026-03-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce36d714e7e950001b78ed8/2c552d32-0a8b-4a94-ad3f-59339a3f34f5/IMG_0322.jpeg Lydia Bunt - About the author Lydia Bunt is a writer based in Hackney.

Whilst initially beginning her writing journey with a keen interest in Cornish folklore and children’s literature, during her time on the Royal Holloway MA course she has grown captivated by close character work and the complexities of the adolescent mind. Having grown up in Cornwall (although she hated the beach as a child) the rugged Cornish landscape is prominent in Amy’s work not only as a backdrop, but as an amplifier of loneliness, despair, and from time to time, joy. Her fiction is attentive to intimate moments and small gestures, exploring the subtle ways in which memory, longing, and human connection shape the lives we lead Whilst Amy is also currently working on her first novel, Miss Marks, this extract from The Family on TV follows a teenage protagonist who is reckoning and struggling not only with her queerness, but a desire to be seen. Consequently, she grows increasingly involved in a parasocial relationship with a family she watches on TV, and increasingly wary of the human connection her body craves. https://www.bedfordsquarereview.com/francis-de-lima daily 0.75 2026-03-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce36d714e7e950001b78ed8/9536b45e-7933-432b-938c-e153d7590e37/Francis-39.jpg Francis de Lima - About the author Francis de Lima is a Finnish-Brazilian poet living in London, where they recently completed their MA in Poetic Practice at Royal Holloway as a Pirkko Koppinen-scholar 2024.
