My name is Lara Dearden and I have been writing poetry for over 20 years. I am of Nigerian/Irish/French descent and spent the early part of my life in Nigeria. Moving to London opened me up to the world, allowed me to discover my voice and how best to express it.

Daily, my poems tiptoe the line between the clash of my cultures; bi polar love stories that adds light to darkness and keeps a piece of hopefulness in the minutiae of daily life. Hope is everything!



Your support gives me vital inspiration as I write for thirty days this month.

Tupelo Press provides the canvas, I bring my words, accompanied by other fine poets, writing thirty poems in thirty days, all ours to edit and submit as we wish. 30/30 poems have been taken by over 90 journals and featured in over 40 published chapbooks, all so Tupelo Press can keep publishing exquisite and diverse voices that might never be heard otherwise.

Every dollar gives me confidence to write more, and helps the press place more poems in gorgeous books. Help me to help this distinguished press. Give today!
