While her proudly queer, feminist, relationship-fuelled work navigates her own identity, her multicultural upbringing has influenced work that explores the notions of belonging, home, and self-empowerment. Her art reclaims the body as the first home and embraces sensitivities and neurodivergence as tools for self-liberation. Often including a loop pedal in her performances to create layered vocal soundscapes underscoring her poetry, her work has been described as ‘captivating,’ ‘passionate’, and ‘cleverly thought-out’. She is a three-time Barbican Young Poets alumna, a twice-nominated Young People’s Laureate for London, and was a member of multiple London poetry collectives throughout 2018 while being a founding member of two regularly sold out London open mic nights. Her debut poetry pamphlet; Sikiliza was published with Flipped Eye in 2023. She has performed and shared work at events such as TEDx Pretoria, Sköll World Forum, Bi Pride UK, and the Malta Mediterranean Literature Festival, among many others. Her work has also appeared in numerous anthologies, and she has been commissioned to write for institutions such as the Barbican Centre, HSBC UK, Time Out London and others, as well as Westminster Abbey where she was the Poet in Residence for 2023 and 2025. Bella’s performance of Sikiliza was shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Best Single Poem Performed in 2025. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614221227dd324371353a4a0/bb80b5b8-9c97-4f17-b668-bf3ca0c0e7de/Untitled_Artwork.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614221227dd324371353a4a0/fc364b31-655c-43d5-ac46-ff049139ed7b/IMG_0654.JPG https://www.bellacox.com/poems daily 0.75 2025-11-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Poems https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Poems https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Poems https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614221227dd324371353a4a0/dcfc30b8-f147-4b70-911c-5f261561fe5a/pexels-jessica-lewis-creative-606541.jpg Poems https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614221227dd324371353a4a0/1631741881942-0H2XPMCSAGP9YB036MVH/Performancepic.jpg https://www.bellacox.com/services daily 0.75 2025-11-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614221227dd324371353a4a0/1631896390814-6YA0EKRLSNP37PQHC4C5/Workshop+facilitator.jpg Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614221227dd324371353a4a0/2b1d4eff-8f06-4313-8e2f-951974c7584c/IMG_0666.JPG Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614221227dd324371353a4a0/d76c9652-e673-4a5f-a1e7-773e91295432/IMG_0533.jpg Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614221227dd324371353a4a0/c69f17ad-0941-4900-8b79-d5026e505eff/B076286BELCOX46.jpg Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614221227dd324371353a4a0/2bc438ea-3f4b-4eda-bf3d-4817323677f9/B076286BELCOX31.jpg Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614221227dd324371353a4a0/1631896976464-ZX7DJ1AOCD6Y93UMCV5V/IMG_0953.jpg Services https://www.bellacox.com/the-distance-between-us-1 daily 0.75 2025-04-23 https://www.bellacox.com/new-album daily 0.75 2025-04-23 https://www.bellacox.com/turquoise-moon-1 daily 0.75 2025-04-23 https://www.bellacox.com/that-was-then-v1 daily 0.75 2025-04-23 https://www.bellacox.com/portfolio-2 daily 0.75 2025-11-10 https://www.bellacox.com/portfolio-2/project-six-sz8wl-ebhgc monthly 0.5 2022-05-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847421455-8JW2CPL3ZB56F2Z8ACLN/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg Portfolio 2 -
