THE WINGED MOON
Our Editors
Victoria Spires
Contributing Editor
Victoria Spires lives in Northampton, UK. She has been published in Berlin Lit, Suburban Witchcraft, Wildscape Lit, Ghost City Review and Dust among others. She was commended in the Ledbury Poetry Competition 2024 and The Poet’s Workshop Poetry Prize 2025, and shortlisted for the Aesthetica Arts Creative Writing Award. She is working on her first two pamphlets, due to be released in 2025.
When she is not writing, she can be found running, or crouching down looking at something interesting. Victoria likes to read poems that hold something back for the reader to uncover; that smuggle some secret element of astonishment or wonder or desolation, however briefly described. She is a sucker for new and interesting words, playfulness, and deliberately unreliable perspectives.
