Praise for Jemima Foxtrot 

“The brilliant Foxtrot is the one to watch”

The Observer

“Jemima Foxtrot is refreshingly upbeat. Her stories of twenty-something life ring truer than your average performance poet. Not only that but it sounds great; the sonics trip off her tongue between snippets of singing in a truly unforgettable voice. Mark my words, we’ll be hearing a lot more more from her.”

Luke Wright

“Jemima Foxtrot is a revelation…Her poetry is sharp and intelligent, delivered with confident, dramatic timing, and interspersed with song”

Write Out Loud

“Eloquent, warm, beautiful and tough. Astonishing”
