Lara G.

Lara G. (@SrtaLaraG) is a queer Catalan millennial who migrated to London seven years ago. She combines her academic career with creative writing. In her scholarly work, she specialises in arts management, currently researching gender queer identities in the fashion industry. Lara’s creative writing digs into the meanings of femininity and sexuality, as well as existential pain. Her poems have been published in a Spanish poetry magazine, La Rabia del Axolotl. Lara has recently performed in English at the European Poetry Festival and the Wilderness Event at the Poetry Society.

MAI CONTRIBUTIONS

In a searing triptych of polyvocal poems, Lara G. explores the question of whether (and how) queer-lesbian pornography can propose counter-imaginaries to the desiring hetero-male gaze.
