I have always written poetry, lyrics and prose. My first publications were a compilation of poems, entitled 'Introverse', and an anthology of short stories under the title 'Imaginary Friends'. 'Imaginary Friends' includes the title story and a dozen others, from the experimental juvenilia of 'Space Stations and Weather Balloons' through to the refined 'One Thing in Light of Another'.

'Anticipation' was my first completed novel and is, I hope, an accessible work of literary fiction. The protagonist is a young woman in search of her place in the world.

M.D. Curzon liked a quote
11978
“I still don't know how to work out a poem.

A poem needs understanding through the senses. The point of diving into a lake is not immediately to swim to the shore, but to be in the lake, to luxuriate in the sensation of water. You do not work the lake out, it is an experience beyond thought. Poetry soothes and emboldens the soul to accept the mystery.”
