Lesley Harrison
Lesley Harrison lives and works on the North East coast. She is a qualified teacher and has been leading creative writing workshops for children and adults since 2013. In her workshops she encourages children and adults to think about the overlap between ourselves and our surroundings, and how we create our landscape around ourselves - physically, emotionally, linguistically, and imaginatively. Particularly with children, she looks to encourage experimentation with words and expression in creative responses to a wide variety of context and stimuli.
Lesley's sixth collection, Kitchen Music, was published simultaneously by Carcanet in the UK and New Directions in the US. "You cannot help thinking that this is what all poetry should do—find the truth in things, not beneath them—and how it should be produced: sensitively and with love".
— Andrew McCulloch, TLS of Blue Pearl
