Cheltenham, United Kingdom

I am a writer, freelance tutor and an Associate of the RLF Writing Project.

My poetry collections include Henry’s Clock, winner of the Aldeburgh prize, Frank Freeman’s Dancing School and Jam. I wrote Jumpstart Poetry in the Secondary School during my time as Poetry Society poet-in-residence, following the success of my students at Maharishi School in poetry competitions.

I am a tutor for the Arvon Foundation and have led courses and workshops for the Poetry Society, the Poetry School, the British Council, universities and schools in the UK and abroad.
