Poetry
Cullen's poetry has been described as "stoner poetry", and "baffling, brilliant, playful, and fraught with a sense of language potential and spin" by Ian Thomson, a "strange and wonderful garden of beautifully gnarled visions" (Camilla Grudova) (In Dreams of Diminished Responsibility, 2025)
Reviewing In Dreams of Diminished Responsibility in the Morning Star, Leo Boix wrote "I’m fascinated by Cullen’s ability to transport me into strangely constructed places where I don’t quite know what will happen next or who I will bump into".
Hologram (2022) received compliments from August Kleinzahler.[1] A. N. Wilson is a fan of his work.[2] His debut collection, Wave Caps (2014) [3][4][5][6] was described in The Times Literary Supplement as "arresting, streetsmart ventriloquism".[7]
Cullen worked with directors Ivar Wigan and Agustina Comedi to makes films which perform on Purple,[8] Nowness[9] and Flaunt.[10] He has performed poetry on BBC Radio London [11] .
