Adelle Stripe

Adelle Stripe (Born 14 September 1976, in York) is a poet 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.' [1]

Noted as a 'kitchen sink realist' poet by the Spanish daily newspaper ABC [2] she is affiliated with the Offbeat generation, and has published two solo collections Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid and Cigarettes in Bed. Stripe's Brutalist works include Brutalism 1: Nowhere Fast [3] and Brutalism 2: Cheap Thrills Issue 24 of Mineshaft Magazine.
