I write and teach poetry and have published four poetry books, Occupation (2009), Lessons in Mallemaroking (2011), Hide (2013) and The Hill (2017), as well as having poems in a number of anthologies. I particularly enjoy introducing students to contemporary poetry and helping them discover the excitement of writing a good poem. I also have an interest in writing for well-being and often run workshops for community groups.

I am currently researching the critical response to women’s poetry and bias in published reviews of women’s vs men’s poetry and the local history of civil disobedience and how it can be used in contemporary poetry to explore notions of place and ownership.
