Isn’t it mad that we see a growing age as a barrier? Especially regarding the art of telling stories and making connections through poetry. Surely, the most essential tool when it comes to writing is experience, and knowing who you are and what you want to say and how you know to do it.

Oh Lucy, I adore this poem.

It’s never too late – I was 44 when my debut poetry collection was published – I’d been writing poems forever. I’ve published 8, 9th on the way. And my debut novel, linked with my poems. Earth is rejuvenated by spring, creativity keeps you young. Don’t give up, just keep renewing yourself & your art
