Samantha BoarerHaving grown up on the mean streets of the English Riviera, Samantha Boarer started her poetry career in the internationally acclaimed post of Poet Laureate of Knowles Hill Secondary School. From there she migrated to Bath, where she studied creativewriting and found her calling as a comedy poet. After co-founding Rhyme and Reason poetry events in Bath she moved to Bristol and began performing regularly in the South West. Having recently moved back to Devon, she intends to carry on funding her bohemian lifestyle by teaching impressionable youth at a local secondary school. Her (informal) research into what it means to be a 'real grown-up woman' inspires her to share her experiences with others in the hopes of helping them feel that they are not alone.
