An amalgamation. Part poet, part researcher. A splash of editor with a glug of educator.

Not always held in equal measure. And still not, if truth be told. Like most people and things, I am a work in progress. But somewhere around my fortieth year, the weird burst in. Surrealism. Jung. Tarot. The disparate parts began, slowly, to cohere.

My practice now sits at the intersection of creative practice and psychoanalytic thought, philosophy and the esoteric, which mostly means following strange questions into stranger places and writing down what happens.

Published as a poet and as a researcher with work presented internationally. Founder of Vesica Press, an independent literary press for writing that refuses easy categories. Tutor of bespoke classes exploring the imagination. Facilitator of The Unsayable and The Cabinet — workshops and events for writers, artists, researchers and the curious who want to think differently about what they are making, what they are living, and why. Editorial work operating under the name Soror Mystica.

Based in the North of England. Working at odd hours. Practice arrives before the understanding. Which is either the problem or the point.
