I am a Poet, Writer and Creative Writing Tutor from Swindon. I also work as a Koestler Trust Arts mentor for ex-offenders.  I was a winner in the 2011 Battered Moons Poetry Competition and I was also awarded second place in the Poets Meet Painters Competition in County Cork, Ireland. I have had poems published in The Morning Star, Ink Sweat and Tears and And Other Poems. I co-edit Domestic Cherry magazine and am a co-founder of Swindon Festival of Poetry.
