from the Creative Writing (Poetry) MA in 1997 and subsequently taught on both UEA’s undergraduate Creative Writing programme and for the School of
Continuing Education. She was the recipient of an Eric Gregory Award in 1998 and her first collection, ‘Beyond Calling Distance’, was published by Bloodaxe in 2001. This won the Aldeburgh First Collection Prize and was shortlisted for the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize. In 2010 she won the Bridport
