Magma Selected: Naomi Madlock 

Magma Selected highlights a single poet who is emerging or whose work deserves to be better known, allowing us to publish a wider selection of poems.

Our Selected Poet for Magma 95 is Naomi Madlock and we are delighted to be able to share her reading her wonderful poems in the current Architecture issue of Magma.

Naomi Madlock is a member of poetry performance group Braid, and co-host of Kiss the Sky poetry night in Bristol. Her work is featured or forthcoming in Under the Radar, Clarion, Terrain, The Shore, Anti-Heroin Chic, and others. She was shortlisted for the 2025 Queen Mary Wasafiri New Writing Prize.
