John Hudson loves telling stories. Through his work as a poet, vlogger, installation artist and writer, John tells stories about people, animals, flowers and himself, about towns and events, from the past and in the future, woven around myth, becoming apocrypha, funny or sad. His work as editor, critic, arts commentator and events organiser has provided a platform for artists and communities, cultures and buildings to emerge, flourish and tell their own story. John has written seven poetry collections.
