Short Bio:
Lives in Germany is a woman, mum, daughter, teacher, mediator, friend, lover and poet.

"Lately I have become increasingly interested in Buddhism and Suffism: philosophical views that help me to use every moment in life as intensely as possible and honour my and other people's spirituality and uniqueness.
My newer poems begin to mirror those influences."

I've been writing poetry since 2000 and have fallen into it wholeheartedly, I've been reading poetry since I was a child.

My first collection, The Skin, was published in 2003, by Flarestack Publications, editor Charles Johnson.  Charles, myself and Joan Poulson produced a collection of poetry called The Land Songs (Flarestack Pubs.) to celebrate the renewal of the land after foot and mouth in Cumbria.  I was pleased to be invited by David Hart to be part of an anthology called, Is it possible to write a religious poem in the 21st century? published by Flarestack Publications 2004.  I have also contributed poems to The Water Garden - Poems for Water Aid.

Poems of mine have appeared in, Envoi, Obsessed with Pipework, Rain Dog, Neon Highway, as well as in Lapidus (Literary Arts in Personal Development), an environmental magazine called Solway, and on-line poetry websites write-away! (editor Tim Jarvis) and shortly will be in PoetryBay (editor George Wallace) and Citizen 32, (editor John G Hall).

My interests are poetry, fell walking, the environment, the importance of creativity and play - basically smashing the windows of prejudice and letting fresh air in!  I'm currently working on my next collection of poems; a joint project with a photographer, Michael Poulter about an iron ore mine in West Cumbria called Florence and run writing workshops in the community.
