Now a SENCo in a busy comprehensive school, I have had a passion for reading and writing poetry for as long as I can remember. I particularly enjoy the challenge of writing to a task each month with the group.

Apparently I am very good at delegating which is why Frances has written this introduction for me. I do, however, write my poems myself.
