Verity Spott (born 1987) is an English neo-modernist poet. Spott lives in Brighton and co-runs the long-running poetry, music and performance event Horseplay.[1] Verity teaches poetry with New Writing South and The Creative Writing Programme.[2][3] Alongside James Burton, Verity co-edits the Brighton-based poetry magazine "Fatberg".
Gideon (2014) was a poem organised as a hex,[4] an idea returned to in We Will Bury You (2017). The long poem Click Away Close Door Say (2017) explored the effect of the United Kingdom government austerity programme on Spott's job in a care unit for young adults with autism.[5]
