Janice Whyne; is a Londoner by birthplace, a Jamaican by birthright and has been a words person since childhood. ‘Dear..., love Janice’ wasn’t enough for her prose-filled Christmas cards! She sees poetry as a conduit for our individual and collective feelings and lived experiences. She participated in her first open mic at The Poetry Cafe, London in 2016. It was a ‘feel the fear and do it anyway’ moment and the first milestone on her journey of rediscovering her creative self. Her poems are responses to occurrences that have captured–sometimes demanded–her attention and also a means of protest. The murder of George Floyd, and the strip search of Child Q, instinctively made her put pen to paper. Themes in her work include Identity, loss, life's challenges and hopes. Her debut poetry collection, 'In Conversation', was published in 2022, and her poem, ‘Sitting with Amazing’, is in The Poetry Archive Now Worldview 2021 Winners collection. Other poems feature in ‘Coffee & Contemplation: a taste of empowerment’ (2020), All My Relations, Vol. 5, Talbot-Heindl (2023), ‘Her locks unveiled: poems from the Black in White poetry competition’ (2023), and other online and printed mediums. She’s performed at Flovortex, The Mother Wolf Club, Voices in Power, London, Poets Palace and Ubud Writers Readers Festival Poetry Slam. –Coming 1st runner-up in 2019 and 2022.
