Imbolc Beginnings

Imbolc, word witch

I spent most of 2021 living a quiet life. Like a house cat and I learned a few things about myself on this road to recovery. Surviving the ectopic pregnancy brought stillness and more love into my life. A tranquility I never thought possible.

I learned that I do really enjoy being solitary, although I do have bursts of extroversion. As a whole I prefer my own company and the company of a few loving souls who are jovial in nature too.

I’ve learned to have strong boundaries. My life is so precious and short and I won’t feel guilty for being more discerning of who I choose to be in my inner world.

I have also learned that I’ve spent the majority of my life externally focussed with my creativity. I made things in the hope I’m worthy of others, to be externally valid in the rat race. I used to go above and beyond to create what is asked of me for free or exchanges-believing one day that individual or company would see my worth and choose to pay me. I believe this is where my imbalance is in my bodymind.

Hecate Magazine’s BIRTH Anthology: Prose Poem Published

Hecate Magazine literary and poetry journal

a violent world demands a violent birth

An anthology that simmers with suffering, shame, loss, strife and yet, unparalleled strength – all that makes us human in an increasingly inhumane world. A body of work that houses the inhospitable. A series of truths and fictions that cycle through beginnings, ends and rebirths in a phoenix fashion.– Hecate Magazine

Hecate Magazine was the first online poetry and literary magazine that accepted my work for publication. It took the longest to publish as they chose to include it in their first PRINT anthology!

Three Poems Published with Poetry Undressed

Poetry Undressed

Poetry Undressed are a beautiful non-elitist poetry magazine who will also soon be in print.

Poety is a hard genre to be published, similarly to art, many established sites will reject newcomers and only focus on established writers and poets who have a name for themselves in some way.

Whether already famous as a poet, associated with a famous poet or a social media star who happens to be a booktuber.

If you are one of all these things, certain sites will publish your work because it’s all about fame- who knows who-not about the poetry (if it’s any good or not).

Illustrated Poetry book pages

I’ve been saying for a few years that I am putting together a poetry collection. But because I am not a full time writer, the process takes a bit longer. I am still editing older poems and creating new ones too. Including short stories.

The theme is our relation to nature in and around us. This includes the psyche of our subconscious- the raw emotions that feel feral and the almost child-like mysticism that comes from remembering our connectedness to the natural world.

The poetry will flit from personal musings to magical realist prose. Some poetry will feel like diary accounts with an air of vulnerability and gritty thoughts, others will boarder on whimsical and surreal. These represent the two strong personas living within me.
