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.

Amazon.

New poem! |
New
poem! In the face of the recent Orange Mobile ad campaign
I thought I'd better get this one out there. The web seems
like the best place for it anyway. If you heard me read
at the Poetry Shack last November, you heard an earlier
draft of this. For a limited time only, enjoy Who
am I? (Google enlightens) |

 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 also attend and perform at a variety of poetry events. When
I'm not writing poetry I work
as
an Online Learning Developer for
Nelson
Croom Ltd.

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