For the last forty years she has lived in Gloucestershire, where her varied jobs included twenty-three years working with her husband as a metal finisher. Her poems (written in small gaps between work, child, horses, addictions to music and grassroots politi) have won an Eric Gregory and a Cholmondeley Award. Recently retired from her day job, she has become increasingly interested in performing her poetry, usually by heart.vizualizați mai puține
