I have been regularly writing poetry for the last twenty years. My work explores the grief of having to fit in when you don't belong. I am interested in minute interactions, the magic of the everyday, peripheries and otherness. In 2023, I completed an MA in Creative Writing which has helped me to get better at submitting writing rather than hoarding it shamefully in a folder on my laptop.
