I am a lecturer, poet and writing tutor. I work in teacher and medical education at the University of Exeter. My anthology Lifesaving Poems was published by Bloodaxe Books in 2015. In 2012 I published Riddance (Worple Press), a collection of poems, and Love for Now (Impress Books), a memoir, about my experience of cancer. My most recent books are Deck Shoes (Impress Books, 2019), a book of prose memoir and criticism, and The Afterlife (Worple Press, 2019). In 2023 I will publish The Wind and the Rain, my sixth collection of poems, with Blue Diode Press. My current research project, with Sue Dymoke from Nottingham Trent University and funded by the Foyle Foundation, is Young Poets' Stories: https://youngpoetsstories.com/.

A stunning poem on so many levels.
Thanks for sharing.
Love your handwritten notes about zoos from my past. As a child it was a treat to ride Rosie the elephant at Bristol Zoo, Alfred the Gorilla, my fave. If only we knew then… The big cats always looked so sad and I can still smell those terrible cages.
Best wishes and a wave from Oz.
Great poem.
Julie
