Kym Deyn (pronounced DEEN) is a writer of weird fiction and poetry. Their debut poetry collection, Folkish, is forthcoming with Nine Arches Press in spring 2026. Their previous work includes Primers Vol. 6, Dionysia published by Verve Poetry Press, and Unfurl, a collaborative fiction experiment. They write about various delicious magics, gaps in history and myth, time, grief, the post-industrial landscape, and horrible wet slimy things.

Their work has been described by poet Linda France as “fizzing with delight in language, style and ideas. There is ecstasy and largesse in the way folk wisdom, urban myth and ecology collide, beautifully rooted in the land and the sea and their stories.” And by poet Rishi Dastidar as being a place “where reality is hazy in the way the best summer evenings are, and where enchantment isn’t a possibility, but a command.”

They are also the director and editor of The Braag CIC, a poetry and speculative fiction micro-press that publishes beautiful books three times a year, plus limited runs of handmade chapbooks. It works with writers across the world while supporting emerging writers in the North East of England. It also publishes the award-winning micro journal Carmen et Error.

Like everyone else, they are currently working towards a novel.

Kym has worked as a professional Tarot Card reader for over ten years. Pricing and more information availible here.
