I am an award-winning poet and filmmaker.

A collection and two chapbooks have so far appeared in print. 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 work has also been broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and my AHRC-funded short film Homecoming, made in collaboration with the poet Carrie Etter, premiered in 2025.

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.
