Catrin Mari

Catrin Mari is an autistic social scientist with a background in the heritage sector, based in Cardiff. She uses poetry to break barriers to engaging with academic research. Her poetry deals with themes of sense of place, uncovering stories of under-appreciated historic figures, and shifting identities including as a Welsh and neurodivergent person. Her work is due to be published in an anthology of Welsh radical poetry, an online zine about the valleys, a collection raising money for mental health charity, Mind; and Disabled Tales, a literary magazine exploring disabled fairytale figures. She regularly performs her poetry in Cardiff and online.
