My first full-length collection is available now from Rhythm & Bones Press (or directly from me). It's called The saint of milk and flames, and inside are poems about recurring dreams, Harry Houdini, Guy Fawkes's ghost, mystical moths, hearts as unreliable narrators, saints, gods, witches, and trains (among other things). There's trauma recovery, grief, healing, fire, faith, doubt, growth, and belonging, and you can read all about it on the Rhythm & Bones website by clicking the cover image.
My mini chapbook To Feed My Woodland Bones [A Changeling's Tale] is available now from Animal Heart Press. This book is made up of 12 poems written around very human experiences, but through the magical, otherworldly lens of a changeling. View the trailer here.
A View from the Phantasmagoria, a paranormal chapbook that also explores a 20+ year struggle with PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder), will be published by Rhythm & Bones Press in October 2020.
It's not every day a writer gets this kind of praise about who they are, but when it does happen they make nice website endorsements:
"Just as interesting in person as she'd seemed on the internet."
- Poet, songwriter, and reviewer Ian Badcoe, on his blog, after the Deadly, Delicate book launch
"...a magical pixie of the poetry world."
- Zoe Mitchell, a magical poet in her own right, in an interview with The Literary Pig
If you want poetry about changelings, goth selkies, real-life fairytale villains, ghosts, love and lust, magic, motherhood, woodlands, secrets, lost things and the sea (to name a few)...
If you want historical/fiction poems about pirates, prophecies, cannibalism, witches, kings, and everyday things (again, to name a few)...
If you want a poet who can read this sort of thing at your event...
If you want someone to run workshops based around any of these things...
You've come to the right place. Welcome.
