About
Kapu Lewis is a Welsh writer and poet with autism. Her work is inspired by the unique stories of the people she meets, and her challenges living with ASC (Autism Spectrum Condition). She's fascinated by using storytelling, poetry and illustration to explore mental health, neurodiversity and human consciousness.
Kapu began her career as a journalist in Wales and now consults for the TV & Film industry. She is studying for a Masters in Creative Writing at the University of Kent in Canterbury, and is a champion of youth rights and neurodiversity in the Arts.
Kapu's work has been shortlisted for The Rhys Davies Prize 2024 and longlisted for the New Writers Poetry Prize 2024, and is published in the indie press and literary journals, including Epoque Press, The Berlin Literary Review, Handwritten & Co, The Mechanics Institute Review and The Menteur. Her latest work will be included in the Erro Press Anthology of Womanhood later in the year.
