SIMONE LEID is a poet and gender advocate from Trinidad and Tobago. As a gender, community development and climate justice practitioner, her writing often draws from the stories she encounters in the course of her work on the ground in the Caribbean. She has had poems published in SX Salon, Callaloo Journal and Tongues of the Ocean. She is a fellow of the Cropper Foundation Residential Workshop for Caribbean Writers, the Callaloo Writers workshop and the Moko Poetry Masterclass. She is currently awaiting the award of her MFA in Creative Writing from the University of the West Indies, St, Augustine. She is completing her first poetry collection tentatively titled Mother Tongue, which explores the lives of working-class Caribbean women particularly in relation to their inextricable role in mothering.
