Steve Willey currently lives in Whitechapel, London.

Lets begin in the third person: After receiving a Masters Degree in Poetic Practice from Royal Holloway, University of London, Steve has held various jobs as a perfume salesman, a Sport magazine distributer, as well as assisting with security at Stansted airport. He has a particular interest in the philosophical work of Walter Benjamin as well as the poetic work of Janet Cardiff, MEZ, H.D, Bob Cobbing and all the Hackney conspirators which lurk somewhere beyond his front door; and more. Back to the 1st person: I can often be found speaking at readings, including Crossing the Line, La Langoustine and, the reading series I co-run with Alex Davies, Openned. I have also read in New York (Bowery Poetry Club) Wales (at FOW and Soundbite) the Isle of Man (King Williams) and Egham (R;Fest 2006-2008). I edit, run, and inhabit all of Openned's poetry projects with Alex Davies
