Join Milk Poetry, one of Bristol’s longest-running spoken word nights, for an evening of bold, brilliant live poetry from some of the finest performance poets working today – this February, they welcome myndstate to celebrate the launch of his debut collection


myndstate (he/him) is a spoken word artist, poet and performer known for blending hard-hitting, vulnerable performances with wit and humour. His words – full of emotion, storytelling, and rhyme – have made him a national poetry slam winner, got him featured on the likes of BBC Radio London, Sky Sports, and Attitude, plus have amassed millions of views online.

In his new show he takes you on a journey of hope and survival through his debut collection, deep breath. Exploring themes of sexuality, identity, love and shame, it beautifully narrates the struggles of finding yourself, and your place, in a world that often doesn’t want you to belong. Having spent so much of his life holding his breath, hiding who he is, myndstate’s latest performance has him fully exhaling – and you can’t help but do it too.
