About the Author
Joanna Seldon was brought up in South Hampstead and studied English at Oxford where she gained a high First and received her Doctorate for her work on Nathaniel Hawthorne. She went on to teach English at The Old Palace School in Croydon, James Allen's Girls' school in Dulwich, Brighton College and Wellington College. Her first book, By Word of Mouth, written with husband Anthony was published in 1983; Waterloo to Wellington was published in 2015; and The Whistle blower which tells the story of the battle that her controversial father had with the medical establishment over experiments on human beings, will be published later this year. Joanna wrote three novels and several short stories, all of which can be found on her website. She had three children (Jessica, Susie and Adam) with Anthony, to whom she was married for thirty four years.
Reviews
There's a sense of enjoyment in these poems, however dark the material. They are a pleasure because they are not just full of life, but somehow in life itself. Peter Sansom; These tough and tender poems are about the elemental forces of life. At the same time they 'create the light', with a vulnerability and openness to experience that is breath taking. Anthony Wilson; All her work is underpinned by the urge to praise. Peter Carpenter
