Can’t wait for this year’s Poetry Marathon to start! (3 short hours for BST start!)
KatrinaM
I've travelled widely and get inspiration from all over, especially mixing different languages and cultures I'm connected to. I discovered a love for poetry when I started a creative writing MA three years ago (and did my first Poetry Marathon!). I live on Ynys Mon, in Wales, close to the mountains and sea. My poetry explores language, memory, gendered experience. I've had poems published in magazines (Mslexia, Firmament, Ffosfforws) and anthologies and was lucky to be longlisted in Mslexia's poetry competition. I also write short stories and won Globe Soup's 2021 Short Story and Flash Fiction awards. I love the intensity and focus of the Half-marathons and hope the seeds of poems here grow into a first pamphlet. @KMoinetwrites
