nols nathankski / founder

make poetry weird again started as a podcast in hackney wick and grew into something harder to name — a live events organisation, a workshop series, a community. we make space for poetry that the mainstream doesn't know what to do with.

nols nathankski is the founder — poet, performer, former legal aid lawyer. he built this because the poetry he loved wasn't finding rooms.
