Well traveled, enchanted by life and living, had my fair share of interesting times. Words are the (my) way of existing well, dealing with grief, looking at the world, delighting in the unexpected. I have been caught up in academia for a while but am now back to writing for to make sense of my complicated times. I am deeply reflective and very sociable - almost in the same breath, which has made my sense of 'self in the world' difficult at times - wanting to be solitary and wanting to be with people. I was brought up in Wales UK but am now living in Australia, so my poetry is probably influenced by both the granite mountains and water, as well as hot sun, red rocks and bush fire.
