About

Climbing trees and polishing bullets discarded by soldiers on the MOD land behind my mum's house, I spent much of my childhood in the woods. Inspired by the beauty of nature, but appalled by man's exploitation of it, I was determined to save the world. This led to a career in nature conservation, 16 years of which were spent on Brownsea Island as Warden.  A lonely, quiet child, I picked up a book one day of Tennyson poems and discovered 'The How and the Why' which astounded me and made me realise that a poet of over 100 years ago could feel the same as I felt, right here, right now. My love of poetry grew and I discovered that I too, could express my emotions in a way that was beautiful, descriptive and cathartic.
