Live at the Yelde – Saili Katebe

Saili Katebe – The Blissful Nomad is a writer, performer and workshop facilitator. Born in Zambia and now based in the South West of England, his work celebrates language and the power of story.

Author of his debut poetry Pamphlet, “Katabasis”, published by Frosted Fire Press, his work has been featured on BBC Arts and BBC Radio Bristol.

He draws on his rich heritage and experiences as a black person living in rural England to craft stunning poems that are moving and vibrant on both the stage and the page.” Irisi Magazine
