(She/Her)

Pippa Hill is a law student at Bristol University and a musician. It is the contradictions of modern life and realpolitik, the unjustness of living under a capitalist system, and people’s apathy toward other human beings which inspire endless poems that act as a band-aid for attempting to comprehend the word we live in.

Hill believes that the most important form of poetry is found in people – from potent phrases spoken by friends and family, to walking past the solitary and ignored newspaperman every day on the way to work, to the way that someone can encapsulate a feeling as warm as the sun shining on her fringe.

In doing so, poetry is personified and a shelter for hurt and anxiety, emotions that are often buried in daily life. It is a healing balm for severed relationships and troublesome interactions. Moreover, writing has often been the only mechanism to process both overt and indirect racism, when people’s comments have made Hill lost for words.
