Her work for BBC radio includes programmes about the Arctic and the Baltic, the solstices and equinoxes, Emily Dickinson, and Dutch landscape painting.

She talks with Bill Manhire about her work.

All Writers on Mondays events are open to the public and take place at City Gallery Wellington, Civic Square, at 1-2pm.

Or punch her name into Google, there are over 42,000 entries including interviews, excerpts and critical reviews.
The British Council website is worth a visit too.........
