Her seond poetry collection, Voices from Stone and Bronze was published by Cinnamon Press in 2016. It is inspired by the war memorials of London, France and Wales. Voices from Stone and Bronze brings to life those who fought and died and those who survived, including some of the sculptors who had themselves come through trench warfare to a changed world. Meticulously researched and deeply humane, these narrative poems apply a lyrical sensibility without sentimentalism; a deeply affective collection.

Her first collection, Convoy was inspired by the experiences of her grandfather, James ‘Jim’ Honeybill, who was a merchant seaman. He was with the Blue Funnel line and served on M.V. Ajax during the Malta convoys.
