Scoop out my sweet flesh
Carve my face to smile for you
I glow like Autumn

be the serpent: I am an English Literature Graduate, with an MA in Literature and Creative Writing. I've led Poetry and Creative Writing workshops for children and adults and taught two classes in the 2010 York Literature Festival. I am proud to have worked with Inspired Youth on the Young Carers Revolution, Stockton Mind Me Project and the I Wunt Dare campaign, helping people to express themselves through poetry. Eight of my poems have been translated into musical compositions by both the talented pianist Vanessa Simmons and the amazing composer David Lancaster who put my words in the mouth of an opera singer. I hope you enjoy my work...
