I mostly write poems. My work is rooted in ideas of place and the natural world, memory and experience, belonging and estrangement, tenderness and the ache of that which eludes resolution. 

A collection and two chapbooks have so far appeared in print: Saint-Paul-de-Mausole (tall-lighthouse, 2014), Boudicca (Templar, 2022) and most recently Nordic Sublime (Shearsman, 2026). I received an Eric Gregory Award in 2013, an East Anglia Book Award in 2022, was shortlisted for the Bridport Prize in 2025, and Nordic Sublime was longlisted for the Forward Prize for Best First Collection. My wider creative interests include making film poems and participating in collaborative projects which focus on the intersection of poetry with other art forms. My work has also been broadcast on BBC Radio 3.

I studied Literature and Creative Writing at Bath Spa University, where, with an AHRC grant, I also completed an MA in Poetry. I received my PhD from Lancaster University, with my research encompassing ekphrasis, film poems, and the semantic space between text and image.

My work continues to appear in magazines and literary journals in the UK, Europe and North America. My debut full-length poetry collection, Nordic Sublime, is out now with Shearsman.
