Cathy Galvin

Her poetry is widely published and includes the sequences Walking the Coventry Ring Road With Lady Godiva (Guillemot Press), Rough Translation and Black and Blue (The Melos Press). She is founder of the Word Factory and the Sunday Times Short Story Award. “As we journey through our everyday lives, what we see, smell, hear and touch inevitably becomes embedded in our memories. How we relate to and retrieve those inner landscapes, how that helps us connect to others, has become the focus of much of my writing. It will be a pleasure to explore some of those landscapes with you over the course of a few days here on the edge of moorland."
