Bird is an up and coming young poet whose poems are raw and don’t really mess around with overly complex language, she often references pop culture like in her poem “Monica” which is a poem which starts off as almost like a rant about how she hates the character Monica from the 1990’s sitcom ‘Friends’ but then actually delves further into speaking about her own relationships and concluding with another rant about the show.

“I’m more interested in poetry that allows room for ugliness and error – I prefer that on an aesthetic level.” – Hera Lindsay Bird

Her themes are mainly based around relationships, sex and pop culture, she is a very modern writer.
