Poetry and Conversations with Jay Hulme

Poet, speaker, and theologian Jay Hulme performs readings of his own poetry interspersed with opportunity for conversation throughout.

A Bonus event in the Assemble at Chester Cathedral series.

Jay Hulme is an award-winning transgender poet, theologian, speaker, and educator from Leicester, in the UK. His books for children have been nominated for some of the UK’s oldest and most prestigious writing and illustration awards. His books for adults are published by one of the UK’s leading Christian publishers and are widely reviewed and praised, with his poem ‘Jesus at the Gay Bar’ becoming an international sensation. Jay speaks and preaches at churches, cathedrals, and theological conferences, and is a regular contributor to the BBC’s Daily Service.

When he isn’t writing, speaking, or caring for the 1144 year old church where he serves as Churchwarden, Jay enjoys exploring (and climbing up) the ancient churches and cathedrals that litter the British landscape, finding inspiration in their beauty, and in the faith which has been practiced there for centuries.
