‘Hannah Walker is a new breed of poet – smart and sharp on the page but with a natural ability to communicate her work beautifully in performance.  I could listen to her for hours.’
Luke Wright – Performance Poet

‘Hannah Jane Walker is talented and funny.  Her dexterity of word play, quirkiness of imagery and desire to drive forward multiple interpretations of personal stories makes her work compelling.  Her reading of the world is utterly unexpected.’
Jonathan Holloway, Director of Norfolk & Norwich Festival
