Lottie Morton

Lottie Morton is a Glasgow based poet and songwriter. Born in North Yorkshire, her works centres around metaphor inspired by her rural upbringing. Her practice moves between music, performance, and poetic text, drawing on dreamlike imagery, rural folklore, and fragmented emotional narratives. She also fronts a music project called 'Cuckoo Spit'. Her writing often blends lyricism with sonic thinking, treating language as texture as much as meaning. Influences span experimental poetry, outsider literature, and alternative music lyricists, with an emphasis on atmosphere and emotional ambiguity rather than fixed narrative. Alongside her written work, she is active in independent music scenes between Glasgow and London, where performance and collaboration inform her approach to both sound and text. Poetry, for her, is closely tied to live expression existing as something spoken, sung, and reshaped in performance rather than solely confined to the page.
