About the Writer: Hélène Le Bohec is a poet, Equity performer, dancer, singer and voiceover artist, as well as being a literary translator and an exhibiting painter and calligrapher. “Where there’s a word, there’s a world” has always been Hélène’s motto throughout her many lives! Originally from Paris, she started writing and performing her work in English in 2019 and was instantly recognised as a poet steeped in spirituality. Her mysticism is influenced by her Classics studies, her Greek Orthodox Christian faith and her love of magical realism. Her poetry has been long listed to be anthologised by Renard Press and is lined up for an anthology showcasing Christian authors. She performs her work at the Poetry Society, the Soho House, the Tea House Theatre and the Soho Spice of Life. She is working on getting her first collection published. She lives in London with her daughter, her blind dog and two cats.   Reader: NADIA OSTACCHINI About the Reader NADIA OSTACCHINI Nadia is an actor, theatre producer, voice over artist, secretary & carer!
