My name is Rebecca, I'm a twenty-year-old English Literature undergrad at Durham University. My poems have been featured in the Raving Dove, YM Poetry, and Cadaverine online magazines. In 2009 I was commended in the Foyle Young Poet of the Year Award and my poems have been published in several anthologies by United Press Ltd. My writing brings me so much joy and I hope it brings joy to other people :)
