Miriam  or ‘Mim’ Darlington lives near Dartmoor in Devon where she is a member of the Moor Poets collective, writes freelance articles, poetry and children’s books. She often enjoys collaborative work with other writers and poets, and appears in performance as a duo with fellow Moor Poet Lucy Lepchani as ‘The Honeytongues’. She has written a children’s story from Zimbabwe, Footprints in the sand with acclaimed mbira musician Chartwell Dutiro which is to be published shortly by Barefoot books.

Since winning a Peterloo prize for poetry in 2005 she has had work published in anthologies and poetry magazines such as Envoi, The Frogmore Papers, iota, The Interpreter’s House, Stand, The SHOp, Tears in the Fence, Other Poetry, Rain Dog and others. She performs and reads at festivals and events from Glastonbury to Torbay, has produced a chapbook, Organic, and is currently working on a first collection.

She is married with two children, one dog and one husband.

In her spare time, she teaches English in Plymouth.

Her chapbook poetry is by turns lyrical, compassionate, but also red-hot, edging a nerve between the sensual and the dangerous. In performance she is:

‘witty, wise, seductive… an unshrinkable violet who puts her poems across with aplomb.’

Matt Harvey

 

‘Juicy, luscious, decadent…the Nigella Lawson of the chapbook…’
