Meet Lottie

About Lottie

Lottie Angell is a Sussex based poet who graduated with a first class masters in Creative Writing from The University of Brighton in 2018. During her time there she was tutored by award winning poet John McCullough who says of Lottie’s Poetry: ‘Lottie Angell writes spiky, politically urgent poems that are also full of subtleties. She expertly handles the white silence of the page to expose the operations of patriarchy by probing the limits of the speakable. Her work is exciting, compassionate and fundamentally uplifting.’

Creative Writing Residencies

Lottie was creative writer in residence at spiritual and educational charity The Hamblin Centre between 2017-2019. She now guest writes for The Hamblin Vision’s magazine and offers in person/online workshops that combine wellbeing and writing (more to be added soon!). From May/June 2022 Lottie will be sharing meditations for young children and teenagers via The Hamblin Vision’s You Tube channel.
