Kurt Van Ristell (he/him) is a Bengali/British poet, artist and author living in South London. He works in education, in Lambeth, which is a storyteller’s boon. He writes poetry and novels and digitally paints–largely because travel is so expensive. His poems have appeared across publications such as Bandit Fiction, New Note Poetry, Suburban Witchcraft Magazine, Mid Lvl Mag and voidspace zine.
