Biography
Madelaine is a writer and visual poet currently studying for a practice-based PhD at Northumbria University in Newcastle upon Tyne. Incorporating a range of intertextual poetry practices, her doctoral research engages with the affective, artistic, and ideological dimensions of woman-led narratives in British horror cinema of the new millennium.
Madelaine's debut poetry book, The Second Dream, is an ekphrastic response to Jonathan Glazer’s 2013 sci-fi horror film, Under the Skin. It was published by Steel Incisors in March 2024 and nominated for the SFPA’s Elgin Awards for sci-fi poetry in June 2025.
She has been performing at live events in the UK and beyond since 2019, and her creative work appears in various places online and in print, including Psychoholosuite, Tentacular, and eYeland Zine.
