I’ve been called ‘The Punk Pam Ayers’ and ‘The Cockney Cooper Clarke’, very honourable comparisons that make me feel valued and respected as a poet.
From a young age I’ve always written out my feelings, scraps of paper filled cupboards and drawers, because I felt that I couldn’t express how I felt. Poetry has given me a creative outlet of expression that spans my whole life, my personal and professional.
