Rosemary was born in London in 1946. She began to write and to think of herself as a writer very young, and her idea of what poetry is and does has grown up with her.

She has published a full collection, Threats & Promises, Iron Press, 1991, and a chapbook collection, Life on Mars, Hearing Eye, 1999; and some more recent work is in Shoestring Press’s  Take Five ’06. One poem, Lullaby, has had a career of its own, widely anthologized and set for GCSE, so there has been feedback from readers who identify with the child in the poem, rather than the mother.

Her work with video artist Stuart Pound has been shown at festivals all over the world. They began by using spoken poems and have experimented with digitally processed recordings and with putting text on screen. Poems, stills and clips can be found at Poetry with Video  (www.video.cwc.net).

Rosemary won second prize in the National Poetry Competition 2007 with her poem The Hairdresser from Beirut.
