Danielle Wilde, St Joan of BFD.
Danielle Wilde is a poet and writer from Yorkshire. Her words have appeared in Vogue, Dazed, Stylist and the fevered dreamscapes of tracksuit nihilists across the North of England. Danielle has performed for Queer Bloomsbury festival at Charleston House, for Ultraviolet at KKWEER Arts and in collaboration with Caleb Femi as part of his Sloghouse collective in performances at Deptford Literature Festival and Bold Tendencies. In 2024, FEM Press published Deep North, her first pamphlet which examines class, culture, desire and the queer hauntology of the North.
During her residency with The Writers' Room, Danielle has produced a sonnet cycle inspired by the mythology of Joan of Arc and set in a Bradford Catholic Girls School in the 90s. Illustrated with collages made from 90s teen magazines, this multi-disciplinary piece examines faith, queerness, patriarchy and violence aligned with the 14 Stations of the Cross.
