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. 

Two chapbooks have so far appeared in print: Saint-Paul-de-Mausole (tall-lighthouse, 2014) and Boudicca (Templar, 2022). I received an Eric Gregory Award in 2013, an East Anglia Book Award in 2022 and was shortlisted for the Bridport Prize in 2025. 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, following a grant from the AHRC, I also completed an MA in Poetry. I received my PhD from Lancaster University with my research encompassing ideas of 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.
