Annaliese Broughton

Annaliese Broughton is a working-class poet, performer and community facilitator based in Ayrshire. Her work responds to social injustices, ‘taboo’ subjects and things she finds interesting, annoying, or funny.

In 2022, Annaliese was delighted to have her work broadcast on BBC Radio 1Xtra, be invited on Radio 4’s Front Row and see her poem New Meanings beautifully animated by Adelina Court (produced by Calling the Shots). She was also chosen by Hollie McNish as the winner of the McLellan Poetry Prize for her poem We Did Not Know which highlights and subverts the stigma placed on people who live in council housing.

Recently Annaliese enjoyed being 'Dave', the alien in Super Special Disability Roadshow with Birds of Paradise Theatre Company and loved touring to Cumbernauld, Aberdeen and Hong Kong.
