About

Hi, I’m Sam. I’m 39, single mum to two amazing but not always easy kids. I’m also a teacher and I love what I do.

But I lost myself for a long time not so long ago. And poetry is one of the ways I’m trying to slowly get back the parts of me that I lost which were actually valuable.

I write poems to temporarily calm the chaos and to find a place for the millions of thoughts constantly swirling around aimlessly inside my head. Also, in a vague attempt to try and bring a bit of beauty and a little bit of light to some of the dark and broken things that always seem to have a way of finding me, or me finding them.
