Biography

I am a single female residing in Cumbria. This is a great place to be a writer - far from the hurly burly of everyday life. Poetry is just pure pleasure for me. Both to read and write. I am not sure I have any particular style, I like to mix it up a little. My favourite writers (well at the moment that is) are:- Plath Sexton Jeremy Reed Neruda I have had several works published in paperback form anthologies, kindle, online literature sites. One of the greatest thrills is that email to say, we like your work! Makes you forget the 'rejections'! I have never read my work out loud - not sure I would ever have the confidence. Thanks For Reading Poppy ~xx~
