Erin Layton is not Irish. But if you have seen her in Magdalen, you will probably think that she is. Erin Layton, very fond of “impersonations and mimicking since a very early age”, the writer and multiple character performer of Magdalen is an impressively insightful young woman from St Louis Missouri, whose Irish roots have been beautifully intertwined with her feminist anxieties.

Interview with poet Jay Walker

I was recently lucky to see Jay Walker perform at L-Fest, I'm fairly new to the poetry scene, but was grabbed by her work, it's sexy, sensual - the way she twists and plays with language is different to any other poetry I've so far seen. She's now up in Edinburgh, but took some time out to answer a few questions for Female Arts.
