Max Wallis

Max Wallis is a poet and artist based in Lancashire. His first book Modern Love was nominated for the Polari Prize, and he has been described as a "poetry wunderkind" by Curious Arts Festival. Widely published in both poetry journals and magazines Wallis's main motive is to get poetry into places it's not normally seen.

In 2017, he had poetry published by Vogue, did a talk at the Royal Opera House about heartbreak, collaborated with Topman twice, producing specially curated art pieces and poetry for their shows, and turned the underground at Regent's Park gay with poetry.

In 2024 he left his life in London after a mental health crisis, returning home to his family. Diagnosed with complex-PTSD and adult ADHD he also returned to his first love: poetry.​​

In 2025 he launched The Aftershock Review.
