My work often engages with other disciplines, such as visual art, science and history: a recent project was the result of collaboration with the Darwin Centre at the Natural History Museum. As well as writing poetry, I write fiction and have an interest in psychoanalysis. My writing explores such topics as mushrooms in Freud; the power of the squid in literature; and the relationship between poetry and ventriloquism. I have also written on the role of the unconscious in the teaching of creative writing.
