Hi, thanks for checking out my site.
I live in the fantastic town of Glastonbury, Somerset with my husband and twin daughters.
Poetry is my passion and I am currently studying for a masters degree in Creative Writing, specialising in poetry, at Bath Spa University.
I was delighted to win the Writers In Residence Competition at Frome Festival in July '07. I also enjoy performing my poetry and I have recently won the Bruton Arts Festival Slam (June 07), The Ambidextrous Team Slam (Dec '06) and The Wells Literature Festival Poetry Slam (October 06). In October I was interviewed by BBC Somerset Sound and recorded a couple of poems for them.
I am a founder member of the Tongue Collective (www.myspace.com/tonguecollective) and Tor Poets and I co-run the online Bath Spa Writers Group.
People fascinate me and I love to write about the details in their lives in my poetry.
I would love to hear from other poets and poetry lovers.
I hope you enjoy reading and listening to my poems - do leave a comment.
Tracy
