Much loved touring spoken word poet, Isabella Dorta, is back in York to celebrate her newest book, I Don’t Think I’m Straight.
Join us as we enjoy a vibrant and emotive performance and take advantage of the opportunity to leave with a signed copy. This collection will guide you on an empowering journey to explore sexuality with courage and understanding.
A coming-of-age, coming-out story that will leave you feeling seen, heard, and comforted, no matter which side of the closet you’re on.
Isabella Dorta is a TikTok spoken word poet and bestselling author.
Covering everything from heartbreak and body image, to mental health and self discovery, Isabella’s work seeks to break the stigma associated with expressing our emotions and bring comfort and solidarity to her readers.
