I am a poet, editor and teacher. I have published poetry, essays, and reviews widely, and have written for the stage. I am the recipient of a Northern Writers’ Award, a Pushcart Prize, and an Author’s Foundation Grant from the Society of Authors. My first collection of poetry, The Resurrectionists (Bloodaxe, 2021), was a poetry book of the month in The Guardian and highly commended in the 2021 Forward Prizes for Poetry. I have published two pamphlets: The Black Cab (Poetry Salzburg, 2017), a 2019 New Writing North Read Regional Title, and Hallsong (New Writing North, 2022), written while I was writer-in-residence at the National Trust’s Seaton Delaval Hall in 2022/23.
