CHATBOT: This epically cute pamphlet of nine poems and seven artworks is now available for pre-order from Hedgehog Press (publication date Feb 2025) BUT signed copies are available directly from me. Just contact me via this site.
The poems were written (by me, not a chatbot) inspired by my residency at Birmingham University SMQB group in 2024.

Fatbergs is my latest pamphlet, published by Knives, Forks and Spoons Press in April 2021.

Ruth Stacey writes:
​
"There is a visceral, unflinching eye at work in Fatbergs...which ranges far as it examines human relationships in the complex societies and landscapes they inhabit."
In 2019 I won the inaugural V20 Pamphlet Prize, and my pamphlet Air Show was published by Gloucestershire Poetry Society. I performed my winning poems at the Platform 2 event at the Gloucester Poetry Festival.
​
In 2017, my first collection containing poetry, short stories and urban legends was published by Silhouette Press.
​
The book brings together stories and experiences from living in Rwanda and those I've had since as a white woman married to a Rwandan man, raising our English/Rwandan daughter in the UK.
