this poet is taking part in the poetry pRO project Dorothy Yamamoto grew up in Barnet, north London, where her Japanese father and English mother settled after the war. That divided background is the source of many of her poems. She’s worked as an English lecturer and teacher, and has written a book about animals in medieval literature. She now lives in Oxford, and her day job is in an office, working as assistant commissioning editor in classics and ancient history for Oxford University Press. However, she escapes as often as possible from the busy main road where she lives to the wild places of Devon and Cornwall and west Wales. Or simply into her own back garden, which she is also writing about, as a wild world in miniature. Her poems have appeared in Acumen, The Interpreter’s House, Oxford Magazine, Reactions 4, The Rialto, Smiths Knoll, and her collection, Landscape with a Hundred Bridges, came out after she won the 2007 Blinking Eye competition, judged by Don Paterson.
