I am interrupting my current series of Lifesaving Lines post to encourage you to watch a video produced by Freedom From Torture about the Nationality and Borders Bill (aka the Anti-Refugee Bill) which returned to Parliament in the House of Lords last week.
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/.

Thank you for reminding us how important it is to oppose this Bill and actively take up the cause of asylum-seekers and refugees. Our humanity demands that we do.
