Meaux Namo As a young man Meaux Namo, suddenly facing serious physical challenges,went looking for healers and answers. He thus found himself catapulted into an ocean of learning and esoterica. In 2022 Meaux returned from a 22-year sojourn, living in Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, Cuba and Thailand. It was a massively transformative journey during which spirits habitually left their frequencies and walked freely through his. He felt a pressing need to return to the UK and create, with no idea what form that may take. And so it was that poetry chose him. There are deep seems of his esoteric experiences running through his work. His poetry is his small contribution towards the creation of the inevitable New Earth. He is currently based in London.
