Well hello there!
Welcome to the forum. I'm your friendly local Admin.
I'm a thirty-something chaotic cat-enthusiast with a penchant for good loose leaf tea living in Northern England with my Husband. I never quite grew out of heavy metal, I have an almost obsessive interest in folklore and English Paganism, and I LOVE Cadbury's creme eggs.
Possibly a bit too much.
I always kept a journal from being a teenager, but I started writing poetry around 2008 after a personally traumatic event in which writing allowed me to feel something again, and I don't think I've ever stopped. I self-published a collection of poetry that I'm very proud of, and I'm two thirds of the way through a second collection. I've been featured on the radio on BBC Upload, published in a few online features, and have an upcoming publication in a magazine that I'm very excited about.
I'm passionate about spoken word and I think that it's an area of self expression that is really undervalued. Most of all, I'm at a stage in my life where I want to find other people who are passionate about poetry, as I believe in supporting and uplifting others. I'm also really passionate about the idea of community, as we all have a story to share, and that's why spaces like this are important - they allow us to be heard, and be our weird little selves.
I look forward to meeting you and reading the words and stories of others!
