Sara Boyes works as a creative writing tutor in Adult and Higher Education. Her area of specialisation is poetry and she teaches on the Certificate in Creative Writing at Birkbeck College, London. She also works at a day centre in Islington where she has developed a special interest in teaching creative writing to physically disabled students. She believes that an exploration of memory, free association and observation helps with rehabilitation after strokes. Interested in all aspects of poetry, she has given papers on The Alchemy of Poetry and Making Metaphors at NAWE and LAPIDUS conferences, co-hosted poetry and music events devised for a North London Festival and performed at the Voice Box on the South Bank. She has an MA in Medieval Literature specialising in poetry. Sara worked in community theatre for fourteen years writing and acting in plays. Her poems have appeared in anthologies since the 80's including, earth ascending, (ed Jay Ramsay, Stride, 1997), Work. An Anthology, (ed. Dinah Livingstone, Katabasis, 1999), and most recently, In the Company of Poets, (ed. John Rety, Hearing Eye, 2003). She has won competitions, including a Lancaster Festival Poetry Competition. She has produced two collections of poetry — Kite (1989) and Wild Flowers (1993) and she has edited an anthology of women's poetry — Frankenstein's Daughter (1993) — all published by Stride. Her latest work, Black Flame—a pamphlet on the theme of obsessive love, is published by Hearing Eye (2005).
