Ben Wilson (Voicebox)

Ben Wilson is a spoken word poet, and musician, part of the Voicebox Collective. Ben uses heavy rhythms, percussive speech, rich imagery and storytelling to subvert issues in ourselves and our society such as masculinity, cultural norms, memory, identity and mental health. His influences range from the surrealist Lewis Carroll to poet and rapper Dizraeli. His debut chapbook ‘anamnesis’ is a visual exploration of spoken word and rhythm, stringing together incomplete memories and breaking barriers of apathy through storytelling.
