Her book ‘Nobody Told Me’, which mixed poetry, prose and journal entries, won the 2016 Ted Hughes Award for New Work in Poetry.

In the words of poet Benjamin Zephaniah, “I can’t take my ears off her.”

“She writes with honesty, conviction, humour and love. She points out the absurdities we’ve grown too used to and lets us see the world with fresh eyes” – Kate Tempest
