Leah Atherton

Leah is a countryside transplant living in her adopted city of Birmingham, UK. She can usually be found poeting about in pretty places and making her own adventures, including a solo self-supported run of the 630 mile SW Coast Path in 2018. Her work has been featured by iRunFar, BBC Radio WM and Birmingham Art Gallery, which she finds alternately funny and terrifying. She believes in strong coffee, campfire whisky and the power of muddy shoes. You can find her on Instagram @poet_on_the_run
