WRITER-ARTIST

Kitty Doherty is a concrete poet, writer, artist and researcher whose work centres around language. She creates concrete poetry and socially engaged pieces that explore articulatory and epistemic marginalisation, intermediality and hierarchy, gendered sound, and the role language plays in social and cultural constructions.

​

She has been Editor-in-Chief for the Berlin-based literary journal FU Review since 2024. Her first concrete poetry collection, I make you make me sing, was published in 2023 by Paper View Independent Publishing.​​

​

Her work has been included in publications like The Emerging Art Foundation, aurapoesiavisual, and The Visual Poetry Times, and turned into a poem-object for Oo Press. In 2023, she took part in GRAT's soft power residency. In 2025, her concrete poetry was featured in Anousha Payne's exhibition Murmurations at Zeyrek Çinili Hamam.

​​

She is currently completing her MA in literature at Freie Universität Berlin, where she is researching the expressive potential of concrete poetry to depict chronic pain and challenge the normative narratives that surround its representations, conceptualisations and experience.
