Chris Considine taught English for many years at Bedford High School and now lives in rural seclusion in Upper Swaledale, North Yorkshire, where there are more sheep than people. As a young woman she lived abroad for some time, in Africa and Europe, and she continues to travel as she now has a son in Canada and a son in Australia as well as a daughter in London. During the past twenty years she has enjoyed and benefited from attending poetry-writing courses at all four Arvon centres, Ty Newydd and Highgreen in Northumberland. Her publications include St. Cuthbert and Bystanders (Redbeck Press, 2001) and Swaledale Sketchbook (Smith/Doorstop Books, 2002), which was shortlisted for the Forward Prize (best first collection category) in 2002. Her first full collection, Learning to Look, was published by Peterloo Poets in 2003. Her second, Quarll, also from Peterloo, came out in April 2006. At the beginning of 2004 she was a Hawthornden Fellow. Chris Considine has given poetry readings in a number of places, including York (Riverlines), Truro (Ottakars), the Toddington Poetry Society, the Peterloo International Poetry Festival, the Knaresborough Festival, the Swaledale Festival and the University of Edmonton, Canada.
