Poetry
"Wisdom begins in wonder." - Socrates

As featured on BBC Radio 4, The Daily Poem and the Wee Sparrow Poetry Podcast, poetry is where I go to breathe, pray, dream and play. My first collection of poetry, The Honey in the Bones, was published by Golden Dragonfly Press in December 2022.  

 

My poems have been nominated for the Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net Award, published in Scribe, Opol, Rebelle Society, P.S. I Love You, Elephant Journal, Hello Poetry, Braided Way, Women's Spiritual Poetry and Medium. 

I am delighted to have had my work featured in the Wild Roots Calendar and in several poetry anthologies, including the best selling Upon Learning That and The Embrace of Dawn.

 

Here's a selection. I hope you enjoy! 💙

with our old, ancient, primordial Beloved,

which is the Earth herself." - Dr Martin Shaw
