Mary Joyce Baxter
From a very early age, I have been attracted to poetry, to the rhythm and melody of the words. I have read many poets work, both old and modern and tried to learn as much as I could about the structure and form of poetry and to put it into practice. Because of work commitments for many years as a nurse, (see my book, The Past Recaptured ISBN 978-1848-761-926 Published by Matador ) I had to wait until retirement to do this.
