Luke Horsey (he/him) is a Master of Arts student, tutor, and writer from Hertfordshire, England. He is presently based in Glasgow, Scotland.

His perspective as a writer is conditioned by his lived experience growing up queer in a working-class family on the North London Fringe. Time spent living and working in Québec, Canada and Paris, France has furthered his perspective.

His creative practice is informed by influences from music, linguistics and psychoanalytic thought. Writers of influence have included Julia Kristeva, Walt Odets, Ferdinand de Saussure, and Carl G. Jung.

His writing is unable to resist meta-poetics. It is aware of its own neuroses, conscious of its unconscious processes, and stunted in the face of it all.

He is also very fatigued with queer dating and the cisheteropatriachy. This is discussed without reprieve in his work.

Beyond creative writing, Luke also writes music criticism. He is a musician and blues guitarist himself. In spite of this, his music rarely leaves his bedroom.

Luke’s work has been published by The Royal Philharmonic Society, Dead Cat Poetry Prize, Half and One, Good Press, Poetries in English, & Change, and Cathexis Northwest Press, among many others. It is pending in further publications.
