Jenny Hockey is a poet and until recently an active academic. She retired to find more time for poetry. Memory, loss and the objects that survive us have been longstanding research interests and they remain an important inspiration for writing poetry.
In 2013 She received a New Poets Bursary Award from New Writing North and, after magazine and anthology publications, She is launching her debut collection, Going to Bed with the Moon, published this year by Oversteps Books. Jenny will be reading from her collection, together with Cora Greenhill and Noel Williams.
