Publications/Repertoire/Productions & Background Experience
My publications are: The Point of Singing (Abbey Press, 1999), Interacting (Russell House UK, 2007), a book of short drama scripts for dramatic exploration and experimentation; Eskimo Advice – an ebook of poems (Hayrake & Rectory Press, 2007) , The Scale of Things (Salmon Poetry, 2013) and For Crying Out Loud (Salmon Poetry, 2017). I’ve published in various journals and a number of my poems have been translated into French.
I’m a retired teacher of English and Drama. I've been doing poetry readings for quite a while and have done creative writing workshops for both adults and school children. I'm very drawn to the place where dramatic performance and physical movement might fuel creative writing, particularly the writing of poems.
