Most recent

In 2020 I released ten poems exploring 'Pākehātanga', or Pākehā culture. Since then I've been working on a book of creative non-fiction, more details to come. You can watch the poems here.

The Anti-Slam

In 2016, along with Sara Hirsch, Ben won the Edinburgh Fringe festival Anti-Slam, an annual competition where the worst poetry wins.

#TeamTrending, as the duo is known, then performed at the National Anti-Slam Final in London where they came second, meaning they are almost the worst poets in the UK.
