Leyla Josephine has just published her first poetry collection, and toured the UK. Leyla performs a poem on Prestwick beach, before getting ready for a special gig back in Glasgow
In late 2022 Leyla Josephine’s debut poetry book, In Public/ In Private was published, with a whirlwind tour around England, Scotland and Northern Ireland to match. We meet the performance poet at the top of her game, as she pauses for breath in her adopted hometown of Prestwick. In an exclusive recording from the beach, Leyla reads ‘Questions I Have For Birds’ - and gets ready for her much anticipated, packed homecoming gig at Glasgow’s iconic King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut.
