Winner,
Bridport Prize 2008 with a ‘nice little sonnet’,
Anne is the founder of poetry p f , which includes the poetry p f imprint. She also provides services to poets and other organisations, working with them on a variety of projects. She is the Poetry Society's 'Kent North West' Stanza Rep, Vice-President of Shortlands Poetry Circle and an administrator for Second Light Network. She co-edited (with Dilys Wood) the pre-launch issue of ARTEMISpoetry, the new biannual journal of Second Light Network, and is the designer and editor of their web-site, SecondLightLive. She was the visiting poet at a London care-centre for two and a half years. Her poetry is widely published in magazines and anthologies and has been awarded placings in several poetry competitions (more below). Following completion of an MA in Creative Writing at Sheffield Hallam University, she was selected for inclusion in the "Ten Hallam Poets" anthology (Mews Press 2005). In a review of the anthology in Poetry London (2006), Roddy Lumsden said "(her) tight poem 'More' is one of the best in the volume...". Julia Darling said of the collection that it is "high voltage" and the following is a quote from Don Paterson: "TEN HALLAM POETS represents one of the most astonishing constellations of poetic talent to have emerged in the last ten years — not just from the North, or from our Creative Writing programmes, but from the whole of the UK....This anthology is a fine tribute to Hallam's ability to nurture artistic confidence and seriousness. It eschews such contemporary parochialisms as 'voice' and 'relevance' in favour of a deeper commitment to truth, wit, argument, music and imaginative flight — as well as real, exciting originality of expression"
