Meet the Writers – Corey Bedford

Corey Bedford is a poet based in Workington, Cumbria. Workington is Corey’s hometown and a large influence on a lot of his works.

After studying English Language and Creative Writing at university, he found an unexpected passion for poetry.  Writing and performing his original work ever since. You can often find Corey bemusing the bigger life questions in the corner of a coffee shop, notebook and pen in hand.

 

Corey’s favourites:

Poet – Neil Hilborn

Book – Entertaining Strangers by Jonathan Taylor

Biggest Influences – His writer friends and University tutors: ” I found a love for poetry through them and I wouldn’t be who I was today without them.” – C. Bedford.

I think we can all agree with Corey on the huge influence the people around us present on a daily basis!
