Lucy
Anderson studied
Creative Writing at The University of Leicester. Lucy has worked
collaboratively with artists and community projects, has taught poetry in the
libraries, museums, in Hospital and Outreach Education, for Mind, and young
writers, Writing East Midlands.
Her
pamphlet Legacy (Cinnamon Press) came
out in 2018. She is working on her new collection.
Born
into difficulties, Lucy was an 'observer' from early on and channelled this
into her psychodynamic therapy background and later in her poetry. Personal
trauma and her fascination with people motivate her continued explorations of
the human condition 'past to present' with themes of mental health, gender and
loss. Her poems make a direct, yet tender comment on the human condition and
hope to break down taboo and isolation.
Nigel
Hutchinson trained in Fine Art and words were a regular part
of his work. Now they’ve pretty much taken over.
He has worked on exhibitions for the Lawrence Sterne Trust and was
recently involve in curating and writing for an exhibition in response
to TS Eliot’s ‘The Waste Land’. His work has been anthologised and
appeared in various magazines, most bizarrely in a Japanese newspaper.
His collection, The Humble Family
Interviews is published by Cinnamon Press.
