An alumna of The Complete Works poetry mentoring programme initiated by Bernardine Evaristo, Bulley has held residencies internationally in the US, Brazil, and at the V&A.[1]
She produced the Mother Tongues intergenerational project, in which poets worked with their mothers to translate their poetry into their mother-tongues.[6][7]
Bulley's 2017 debut pamphlet Girl B was published by Akashic Books and included in the collection New-Generation African Poets: A Chapbook Box Set (ISBN9781617755408).[8]Karen McCarthy Woolf called it "a probing, thoughtful, and quietly exhilarating debut".[9]
Her first book collection, Quiet (2022), was praised in the The Times Literary Supplement as "clever and capacious poems"[10] and described in The Guardian as "mark[ing] the arrival of a major poetic talent".[11]
