Life and career


Hera Lindsay Bird was born and raised in Thames on the North Island of New Zealand. She attended Victoria University of Wellington and then received her Master's degree in poetry from its International Institute of Modern Letters.[1] Her first collection of poetry, the self-titled Hera Lindsay Bird, was published by Victoria University Press in 2016 and Penguin UK in 2017[2] and won the Jessie Mackay Best First Book Award at the Ockham New Zealand Book Awards.[3][4]

Bird first gained popularity when her poem "Keats Is Dead So Fuck Me From Behind" went viral in the summer of 2016.[5] She and her work have since been profiled in VICE, I-D, and The Guardian.[6][7][8]

In 2018 Bird's work was selected by British Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy to be published by Smith/Doorstop Books as part of their Laureate's Choice series. The published collection was called Pamper Me to Hell & Back.[9]
