Hi.I am now 49 and born in South Africa. I now live in Cambridge, UK.From my early 20's when i was going through a difficult time, not knowing what was going on or who i was, poetry was a way to see what i was thinking and feeling. A beautiful relief. More recently i love to feel the images in poetry, when i resonate with them. My 'normal' work is working with elderly. I have been a psychiatric nurse in the past and have had a lot of experience working with those who may have been suffering a lot, and who may have been going through big life challenges.
Now i am finding that my creative outlet is very important. And poetry is a way to express what is difficult to express.
