Adelle Stripe

Adelle Stripe (born 1976, in York) is a poet and novelist from Tadcaster, North Yorkshire. In 2006, alongside Tony O'Neill and Ben Myers she formed possibly the first literary movement spawned via a social networking site, The Brutalists, who the BBC described as a 'group of young writers with a back-to-basics approach to poetry.'

Noted as a 'kitchen sink realist' poet by the Spanish daily newspaper ABC, Stripe is affiliated with the Offbeat generation, and has published three poetry collections; Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid, Cigarettes in Bed and Dark Corners of the Land. Stripe's Brutalist works include Brutalism 1: Nowhere Fast and Brutalism 2: Cheap Thrills Issue 24 of Mineshaft Magazine.

Her novel based on the life and work of Bradford playwright Andrea Dunbar, Black Teeth and a Brilliant Smile, was published by Wrecking Ball Press in 2017.^[1] It is longlisted for the Gordon Burn Prize ^[2] and received the Society of Authors' K Blundell Trust Award for Fiction.^[3]
