‘Her physical performances, fast-talking delivery and innovative use of cut-up text make her one of the most ambitious and entertaining poets in the country’

The Times Online, Top Ten Literary Stars of 2008

‘Hannah Silva is one of the most exciting, original artists on the UK poetry scene. Her unique word play has a piercing intelligence and genuine warmth that never fails to charm audiences’

Sarah Ellis –Head of Creative Programmes, The Albany.

‘She uses techniques like cut-up and collage, sound poetry and physical theatre to create something that's unique but nods to older forms like shamanism, pre-religious ceremonies, Dadaism, and the kind of games that children play with language’.
