Luke Wright is co-programmer of Latitude's Stand-up Poetry Arena and its main host. This year he will be bringing a wealth of new talent including Emily Berry, Ash Sarkar, Brigitte Aphrodite, Joe Duggan, David VanCauter, Mark Grist, Ian Horn, Helen Mort, Steve Rooney and Jack Stannard.

Jack Stannard, since he began writing aged 14, has dabbled in script and novel writing as well as poetry. His performance still in its fledgling stages, he has managed to impress several poets and spoken word performers. Now barely 17 years old he has poems about it not being summer yet, and the connection between fast food and platonic relationships. Citing influences from Eminem, John Cooper Clarke and chewing biros, in a nutshell, he's just happy to be here.
