Sai Murray

Sai Murray is a writer, poet, performance and graphic artist of Bajan/Afrikan/English heritage. His debut poetry collection Ad-liberation (2013) was described as ‘words that breathe – enliven – words that dance before transfixed audiences…’ by The Jamaica Gleaner.

He has performed his ‘seriously playful and playfully serious’ poetry throughout the UK, across the US, Afrika and in the Caribbean for over a decade appearing at international festivals including: Mboka (The Gambia), Brave New Voices (San Francisco), Shake the Dust (Southbank, London), UpRise (UK). He has been a finalist in several slam competitions including: Mo Juice (Barbados), Ilkley Literature Festival, Superheroes of Slam and was longlisted for a Jerwood Compton Poetry Fellowship in 2017.
