I fell back in love with poetry during the COVID-19 lockdown and since then it has haunted a quiet piece of my heart.
Poetry – for me – is a way to be vulnerable, wicked, and gorgeously deep in a brief, captivating moment. My favourite poets are Christina Rossetti and Sylvia Plath.

Finally, I passed my PhD! To celebrate and embark on a new journey, I decided to start a literary magazine! It is called These Pages Sing as dedicated to highlighting unsung Welsh voices. We are looking to publish poetry, short fiction, and extracts from longer novels.We are very fortunate to have received the support of the Books Council of Wales and Creative Cymru.
Follow our journey here.
I can’t wait to read some wonderful work!
