I write poetry about being #childless 1 in 5 women reach middle age without having children and 80% are childless not by choice. So it's very likely that you know someone like me.
'Imprint' received praise from the late great Benjamin Zephaniah.

Thanks for the boost.

I'm currently doing a poetry course with the brilliant Liz Berry. She's asked us to send her something that gives us a feeling of wonder to compile into 'a book of wonder'. It can be a poem, piece of music, photograph, short video, work of art, story etc. Here's what I chose. What would yours be?💖

A sonnet for the exceptional poet that is Toria Garbutt. I taught her English once. It's my claim to fame. She isn't on here yet, but you can find her on insta. Perhaps if you like this poem she will come, like Tinkerbell 💖

Amazing radio story/long poem about a difficult birth and recovery through wild swimming. 20 mins of laughter and happy tears. Features some cracking tunes by Elbow, Aha and Kate Bush. She's my bestie and I couldn't be prouder. Enrich your Sunday here:💖
