Festival

At
the Derwent Poetry Festival 2008 I hosted three events
for the anthology poets from this year's Templar Poetry
Competition. The standard of poetry was high and it was
a privilege to introduce the diverse range of voices represented
in the anthology. I'm now settling down to work my way
through all the books and pamphlets I bought. You can
find out about next year's competition on the Templar
website.

Biography:
I
was born in 1977 and grew up in Dingwall, Scotland. The
University of Glasgow and later Goldsmiths College did
a not too shoddy job of educating me.
I
now live and write in London, where I attend and perform
at a variety of poetry events. When I'm not writing poetry
I work
as
Development Manager for
Nelson
Croom Ltd.

Her poems are skilful, witty and inventive, and her oblique
approach pierces the heart of life.
