I am a poet, writer and editor, living in Maryport on the West Cumbrian coast.

Joined October 2022
I've called on the UK government to step up to its legal and moral obligation to stop ALL arms sales to Israel. This is crucial to help ensure a permanent ceasefire. #StopArmingIsrael

I'm very proud to be part of iambapoet, Wave 21. Thanks so much to @MarkAntonyOwen for curating this wonderful selection of poetry by contemporary poets. 🙏.
Crocuses yawn, sparrows nest, daffodils trumpet the sun. Spring has returned. With her, she brings a basket of 45 poems – some delicate, some fierce, all of them rich in colour. Sit where you're comfortable, and reach in, to wave twenty-one of @iambapoet.

Our NHS is not for sale. Trade talks with Trump must not open the door to US healthcare profiting from our NHS. Keir Starmer must protect our NHS by keeping it off the table during deal negotiations. Join me by adding your name to 38 Degrees’ petition:
