Jaymz Lea

(he/they)

Jaymz Lea (he/they) is a queer human, playing with words for the annoyingly joyful jostle. They are a mental health professional, published academic and poet. They are chewing on this experience to write about human interiors – at the edges – those othered outed and ousted. He is an excitable nature geek and has shared much of his adult life with a ferocious queen, his cat, Effie. Jaymz is ridiculously happy to have had some of their pieces published in the Passionfruit Journal, Wildfire Words, Feral Journal, Rough Diamond 100 poems for the 21st Century, Sunday Mornings at the River, DIF Hallozine, Oscail Magazine and Poetry Wales Spring issue 2025 as one of the top 60 Welsh poets to keep an eye on.
