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 poems have been published in Scribe, Rebelle Society, P.S. I Love You, Elephant Journal, Hello Poetry, Braided Way, Women's Spiritual Poetry and Medium. My first collection of poetry was published by Golden Dragonfly Press in December 2022. Contianing the viral poems Imbolc and We Need to Teach the Children the Old Words, it was an instant Amazon bestseller and has recieved excellent reviews.
In 2023 I was awarded the prestigious Janavi Held Endowed Poetry & Art Grant. In the same year my poetry was nominated for the Pushcart Prize and a Best of the Net Award.
I am delighted to have had my work featured in the Wild Roots Calendar and in the poetry anthology The Embrace of Dawn.
Here's a selection. I hope you enjoy! 💙
We Need to Teach the Children the Old Words
Dawn "One of this year's most beautiful poems." - Thomas Gaudex, Editor-in-Chief, Scribe
"What we need is a great, powerful, tremulous falling back in love
with our old, ancient, primordial Beloved,
which is the Earth herself." - Dr Martin Shaw
