Lisa Matthews

Primarily a poet, I also write in short prose and have ambitions to publish novel-length fiction. I have published two collections of poetry: Postcards from a Waterless Lake (Diamond Twig Press) and The Deadheading Diaries (Dogeater Press). My third collection – working title The Line – is being edited in preparation for publication.

Collaboration is fundamental to my writing practice and I have – for the past 14 years – worked in diverse environments throughout the UK.

Since starting The/Poetry/Fold (created in Jan 2010, launch Mar 2011) I have been reflecting on my practice and where it fits in the wider academic and commercial sectors.
