My poems for adults appear in a range of magazines and journals, including The Poetry Review, The Rialto, Magma, Butcher’s Dog, The Scores, Poetry News, Wild Court and Bad Lilies.

I have three pamphlets of poems for adults. The poems in Disappointing Alice (2019), published by HappenStance, scrutinise “the plight and might of young women in an age of competing symbols” – if you visit the HappenStance website, you can read an extract and find out more. There are also online reviews by Sphinx and John Field and an interview with Sarah James which offer a flavour of the poems.

 

I also have two pamphlets with the Emma Press: The Flower and the Plough (2013) and Rivers Wanted (2014). The Flower and the Plough is a small illustrated pamphlet of love poems, inspired in part by the Roman poet Catullus. You can read a sample poem on the Emma Press blog and listen to another in a video created by Emma of the Emma Press.

In 2023, I was thrilled to be poet in residence at The Charles Causley Trust.
