Eve Morgan

Eve Morgan is a writer based in East London. She writes angelic dissent, a blend of personal and cultural essays, with particular focus on women in art and the beautiful overwhelm of trying to become one. Her work is featured in Polyester, Playground, and Superfan. She also runs COY Collective, a series of readings in London, and is a music journalist, with words in Still Listening and Hard of Hearing.

I've been writing angelic dissent since early 2023. It's a space for me to share personal essays with a poetry prose voice, and to explore pop culture phenomena through an intersectional feminist lens.

I also write the monthly newsletter TYPE FACE, in which I explore the pursuit of an identity as a writer, as well as the obstacles to this.

Festival Review: Swordes At Footsteps Festival — Still Listening

When Swordes took to the stage at MOTH club this week, it began as an understated affair. A small table beside her holds a groovebox, a synth, a sampler, using which she builds up every beat and mixes live. This party trick is her speciality, creating a distinct sound where acid-trance meets gazey hyperpop. The stage is dark save for its trademark golden tinsel fringe, so Swordes sets her phone torch under a bottle of Fiji water to create a makeshift lamp, whose glow creates rippling shadows on...

Grace Ives - Girlfriend Review — Still Listening

Grace Ives has spent the last decade refining a sound that balances intimacy with restless electronic energy. On Girlfriend, the Brooklyn artist pushes that balance further than ever, trading the lo-fi edges of her early bedroom pop for something brighter, sharper and more ambitious. It was her sophomore album, Janky Star, released in 2022, that brought her to the forefront of the indie-pop space. There, Ives broached the topic of addiction in a music industry where drinking is built into the cu...

Is Married at First Sight the Manosphere for Girls? — Polyester

Seemingly harmless, colloquial ideas of gender essentialism fuel a culture where more extreme opinions can flourish, and it’s not just the Aussies who fall prey. In Netflix’s Age of Attraction, where participants date without knowing each other’s ages, some of the men trip over themselves to reinforce inherent differences between themselves and the ‘females’. Throughout Too Hot to Handle’s recent seasons, the positioning of gender as something othering comes not just from participants but also f...

Kiosk Radio: ‘To give a voice to the people, whether they have a following or not’.

In conversation with Jim Becker, founder of Brussels’ Kiosk Radio.


Kiosk Radio is the kind of gem music fans love to stumble across and located in the most unlikely of settings. Founded in 2017 and situated in Brussels’ Parc Royal, the radio station has been spinning tracks of any and every genre for long enough to earn its stripes. It is both a radio station and a venue, with a bar tucked next to the studio, and no trip to the Belgian capital is complete without a visit to the wooden hut. Nu...

whose flag is this?

Last year saw the England and Union Jack flags hung throughout the streets of the UK, from windows and streetlamps, as a show of intimidation, in a wave of nationalism that was undeniably intrinsically linked to the rise in anti-immigration sentiment. It was also tied with a protest of up to 150,000 people ‘standing up for Britishness’, though there seemed to be some confusion on what this meant, with many attendees claiming a disconnect from the event’s inherent racism.Asisa Kadiri explored the...

COY Collective is a London-based series of readings with up-and-coming writers. At each event three writers share work of any genre. After each reading, I chat to them about the piece, their process, and their identity as an artist.

COY is designed to connect writers from all backgrounds to their place in the world of writing. I specifically aim to platform voices who don't often see themselves reflected in the space, to reduce elitism in the creative sphere.
