Ruth E. Cockburn

Northern writer, poet, musical comedian, performance artist and dyslexic academic,

Ruth has made it her job to find the weird and the wonderful in all aspects of life.

From Blackpool, inspired by the sense of the place, (and the sense to get out of the place…but then return to the place) Ruth has created touring theatre shows and performance pieces for many years.

Her latest book of poetry and stories, “Miss Nobodies” has recently been taken by The British library and she is currently on tour as one half of satirical rock duo, Black Liver in ‘Support Your Local Library! A Gothic/Pub Rock Opera’.
