I don’t write for tears—I write from lived experience, from the deeper rhythms of life, and from what I witness in my role as a teacher. I just hope it lands.

I’ll be sharing this piece at my next event in May… and maybe it will move more than just one person.

But the real question is—
is this truly how some of our young people are living in the 21st century?

My poem Daughter is gaining lovely traction on the creatives scene. It tells the story of a former English student of mine at a Manchester college and her journey escaping from Africa.

Come join me over on the Substack sofa with a cuppa at Living Ink:

Be amused at my musings 🤩

Beware: artists, poets, and musicians operate in this area. 🎶
Thanks to Vinyl Tap Public House for a wonderfully fun afternoon!

As a completely respectable (and only slightly unhinged) English lady, I must add: I popped in for a quiet drink and left convinced I’d joined a band, written a sonnet, and possibly adopted a tambourine. Typical Sunday really. 🇬🇧

Baltic Market creatives — what a joy opening the event last night, hobble-leg and all 🦵✨

Poems, author chat, and a little nudge toward the wild side… 👀💧

Maybe even enough to tempt you into dipping a brave toe into wild swimming after the Wild Water trailer (yes, the award-winning one 😏)

See you at the next one 💫

Grateful to all the beautiful souls in India and beyond who reflected their light and shadow, helping me arrive calm, grounded and more fully human. ✨🤗

Living Ink (@livingink) Receiving I have walked as flame, Tongue lit with certainty, Throat bright and burning with truths that cut before they healed.

Anup Grover, 63, Rishikesh, India—⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️GoodReads Review—

I have never read a book in which a woman speaks so openly about herself, and I found it deeply interesting. In India, many women are more tolerant of what happens to them because they are often not financially independent and rely on their spouse. I had assumed that white women were generally more confident and bolder, so I was surprised to see Elodie repeatedly returning to Mr X to mend the relationship, often blaming herself.I also believed that religion in the West was largely dead. However, the Camino chapter challenged this view. During that walk, Elodie’s faith returned; she was cleansed and purified through the journey.I loved the way her female friends and sisters supported her through her ups and downs—especially her Irish girlfriend and her sister, who can be bitter in her words but is always truthful. They reminded me very much of Indian women, and I appreciated that deeply.I had never encountered people speaking so openly about their unhealed traumas. I was not brought up with that level of introspection in India, nor to question authority. I never felt threatened by this honesty; I simply accepted it.I would like to read a book like this from a man’s perspective. This book was very revealing. The psychological content was well written, clearly understood, and thoughtfully presented. It offers men a fresh and valuable insight into a woman’s inner world. Highly recommended and thought-provoking. At times it felt heavy, but it also made me laugh.😁

Lunch, and a question.

You asked about parallels,
And my words fell short,
Not because they were missing,
Because they were too full.
